BX Club Forum

Thanks Vanny
Will sort out later car under winter cover now
don't use much in winter months.

I seem to remember that on later BX's there is a damper that went between the brake pedal and the dosier value. This to make the brake pedal softer....

It might be worth having a look with the knob pulled off at the keyed rotating sleeve the knob actually turns. This might be in the wrong position....

Thanks, Nanny - that seems likely. My mechanic thinks the same thing - I had never checked this until recently.

Hmmmmm what does the pre heater look like?

As I suggested a simple forum search will give you the answers:

Ive never heard of a lock up? I would pop the head off first and see whats what, I imagine the camshaft has snapped in half....its much easier to...

As James has said.

The returns are just leak off pipes for any LHM that bypasses the seals. If the struts and seals are in good condition there...

I have decided not to buy him.

The money I had saved is needed for something more urgent.

Fingers crossed buddy, I will sort that issue out, have Trumpton on standby and then give it a run. I will be amazed if I get a result but will let...

Thank you for that. We've had another boy so I've not been here for a while. I'm working on my Triumph next so the BX has taken a back seat for the...

If the injectors aren't firing, it might be worth checking the injector relay (next to the fuel pump relay).

The original tension wheel is no longer available and the replacement wheel I have mounted is a little smaller. That means that the right belt will...

I would invest in a carb overhaul kit, sounds like the auto choke isn't working

Looks about right to me.

It's starting to get a bit boring reading every antique 4x4 topic ever seen on the forum.

Bored of BXs bored of life :o

Now for sale spare or repairs over here:

I'm glad you found the fault.
