Citroën BX – XPO – Pastures New – Eps50

After nearly four years, XPO is off to pastures new. But not before a lap around a motor racing circuit and a near 'thermal event'.

Citroën BX – XPO – The Finishing Line – Eps49

Nearly four years into the XPO project, the finishing line is in sight. The BX is almost ready for MOT until a last-minute disaster strikes!

Citroën BX – XPO – Bodywork Revival – Eps48

After a short sabbatical, I'm back with the latest XPO instalment. We're clearly in the finishing strokes on XPO with only two articles left after this one. This time, I'll be looking at the body work revival miracle!

BX16V.com relocation

After 20-something years with Ionos, I've given up on their perpetual sales patter and will be moving all BXProject hosting to a new dedicated server.

This will mean some disruption to the BX16v.com site, outages and probably swearing on my end, but it will be back!

No specific date, but before ...

Citroën BX – XPO – Wheel Alignment – Eps47

With the steering rack changed and hydraulic leaks resolved, I finally had usable forward motion.
But bad wheel alignment was stopping reversing movement and the wrong clutch cable stopping meaningful clutch control!

Citroën BX – XPO – Hydraulic Octopus – Eps46


While the steering rack change didn't stop the hydraulic leaks, a new hydraulic octopus (leak back harness) should stop the fluid loss.

Re: Car Shows and Gatherings

While many of you are recovering from the festivities, some light reading might go well with a cup of tea.
This time, a retrospective on Rustival, largely because I'm so excited for Rustival3!

Car Shows and Gatherings

This thread is for your adverts, write-ups and pictures from car shows throughout the year.

Practically anything goes so long as the show has some car content (doesn't have to be BX related).

With the engine running and exhaust installed, the hydraulic leaks were starting to spring up. The worst was the steering rack leak!

Citroën BX – XPO – Exhaust Installation – Eps44

Engine running, and rather than continue deafening myself with the raw tones of the XU9j4, exhaust installation is the order of the day!

Citroën BX – XPO – Becoming Driveable – Eps43

At the start of 2024, the pace was picking up, and XPO was becoming driveable. Just a cooling system and drive shafts to go. Or was it?
