been driving the green one lately as i have no car at the mo and is sooooooooo much smoother than the rst. It picks its feet up well but not as good as mine. I anoyed a guy in a vw golf v6 4motion the other day with the bx lol I know what you mean, these modern cars may have fancy technology, lots ...

Oh dear... i was 19 in '95

I was waiting for someone

On a unknown wet single-track road... in the dark

I've just been reminded why i love my BX's so much: Went out for a little drive to get half hour peace from the missus in the White one, drove around quite normally for 10 minutes heading out of town and then pulled onto a little B road... and thats where it all the fun started... You know the kind ...

My White one is also the longest owned car for me, near on 3 years (i never found anything else i liked- except all the 8v GTi's).

It's stablemate has resided with us for less than 6 months.

My car was running with the resistor in for a year, it simple switched the ABS off at 7mph (or whatever it is) as it wasn't getting the expected resistence. According to Bosch files, if the lamp is lit the ABS is inoperable and the brakes return to normal use. The lamp does NOT tell you there is a f...

Rossco, Is the one you've got Silver, just under an inch wide & 2 inces long (ooer... :oops:) & usually located right near the fan at the front? If so, it's not the switch but i think it's the relay that operates fan speed (stages 1 & 2). The temp switch is located where already mentione...

Thats all assuming that you have a 'spare' sensor that you know is good to test with

to cure the problem i unplug the airflow meter and the car gets very upset, but carries on running at normal (albeit very stuttery) revs (i guess this is the 'emergency' ECU readings kicking in?).

If i unplug the AFM with the engine running it dies! Is that not normal?

Yeah, forgot to mention yesterday that's where it is in the fuel line.

Should cure it nicely me thinks.

Good luck!

The easiest way for me was using the old Resistor trick: Get a 1k resistor, attach a couple of inches of wire to each end. Unplug each sensor in turn (fronts by inner arches at back, rears under rear seat) and bridge the connector with the resistor (the inboard cable not the sensor end). While you'r...

Cool!

Where can i get one?

That'll do nicely

Is that last one a model?
