Citroën BX – XPO – Unpainting the A-pillar – Eps26 In the previous article, the repairs on XPO were finally completed and repainted. However, I soon find I'm unpainting the A-pillar 😭 Soul destroying would be one way to describe it https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/XPO_Eps26_I...

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

Officially ran out of MOT yesterday. Grrr, far too busy to be pissing about with it. ABS light stays on for the first 5 minutes of driving. Annoyingly this has also been the first year in which I've owned the car that the ABS has worked as expected!

Hello All,

Brian King, who some of you might know, is in need of a nearside rear ABS sensor for his valver.

Anyone got one?

Re: Tracking down dad's old BX

J188 TKV hasn't been seen for a very long time, and isn't in the BX16v register (which is fed into the broader UK Bx Register) Looking on DVLA check, the last log book was issued in 1997, and although the car is showing as SORN, I'd suspect it predates digital records and is actually no longer with ...

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

My poor thing has stayed continuously on the road for three years now. Even took it on a run to Madchester last week. Still confuses the youth on the motorway as they try to keep up :D

Citroën BX – XPO – The Big Cut – Eps22 I simply couldn't put it off any longer. Time to put on my big boy pants and fire up the grinder. The day had come for the Big Cut.

Car Show - FotU 2022 - My Highlights After weeks of turmoil with the BX, I wondered if it would even make it to FotU 22. But it did, and the festival was fantastic. After a few weeks' delay, finally, I can regale you with my show experience! https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/F...

Re: The BX Project

After all those changes and fixes, the car actually made it to and from Festival of the Unexceptional, without any issues! I've since discovered a mild coolant leak as a result of a piss poor hose clamp, but otherwise, she's been just fine. Not sure if that's luck, or maybe I know vaguely what I'm d...

Citroën BX - FotU 2022 Prep - More Leaks SPOILER ALERT - I did make it to #FotU last weekend, but it was very touch and go. By 7pm on the Friday before the engine bay content was all over the drive. Enjoy this tale of, erm, miss adventure . . . https://bxproject.co.uk/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/0...
