Is your 'valver a Daily Driver or a collectors toy?

Hey up... just wondering how I stand demographically, my bx (Phase 2 Valver) is one of my toys, its part of a car collection, but used most of the time, I was wondering if I am the only person on here who uses their valver daily or has it as part of a collection of cars?

16v speedlines

Hi guys, I've not long bought a 'valver that came on after-market wheels, I am trying to get a set of original 16v wheels to make the car original. Has anyone got a set for sale and would it be OK to send them by courier at my expense? I am happy enough to book the courier at this end, or I could se...

Credit to barryg on ausiefrogs for the following helpful insight into how to extract the codes from the motronic 1.3 ecu It's pretty easy to do once you get the gist of what needs to be done. Locate the 2 pin diagnostic connector. On the BX TZi it's on the driver's side near the sphere. Stick a wire...
