Re: It will not start

Well it starts now. :mrgreen: After checking around a few sites and an Aussiefrogs page I decided on the off chance to check the two relays on the offside, did not really intend to do anything today. They are (were) wrapped in a cellophane type cover. I removed the cover from the one nearest the fro...

It will not start

Hi All, Just wondering where to start with this little issue. I tried to start the car today, it turned over well enough as I keep the battery topped up. It has not been started for a few months though. It just keeps turning over, there is a spark and I have have removed the spark plugs and misted a...

Re: 10 year forum board anniversary plus the old board

Reading the above is a bit of a shock. I know the BX was never that popular but thought one day it would be a little more loved. Like many, I find there is not always time and reason to keep it running and on the road but I always hoped to get both and that may not be far off (well in relation to ho...

Re: Club member selling up

I came from .com too, good luck with the sale Robin, I know the space problem well enough. :D

Reading that list of parts is quite worrying. The things one may need at some time!

Thanks for the update Pete, pleasing to know that even though there appears to be very few of these cars, some of them get a mention on here. :P

Re: Who's on the road (or could be), who is Not?

Quite a good read, there is a full pic across two pages and a further 5 pages of info with more pictures. Nothing we don't know but the writer does plug the car rather than put it down. The picture has the words "Extra Rare" above the car which boasts 297 bhp. It has had a lot of work done...

Re: Who's on the road (or could be), who is Not?

I cannot believe it is 7 years since I posted this. During that time I have been roadworthy once because I took it for an MOT which was passed pretty easily bar a couple of brake hoses. What prompted me to revive this today was seeing Performance Frenchcars magazine. There is an article on the 16v w...

Re: What do you want to see ?

Would an alternative parts section be helpful? With valvers getting on a bit parts get harder to find. For example, I think Xantia abs sensors can fit with a mod. That is just an example, I have not tried it. Or what other HP pumps can work on our cars? I know the info is somewhere but something in ...
