This sounds trite but if I still had a 16 valve I'd commit to a set. I have a couple of ideas in mine and do intend to find a 16 valve this year so if it helps, count me in as a 50/50 maybe.

Having been there with a car in a car park issue, it gets complicated as the land is often deemed to be 'private property' and road rules do not apply etc etc, it may well end up being a civil matter from the police perspective. I got stung for the insurance companies arguing and agreeing between th...

I posted and sent messages to say I was interested last time and still am. I'm not going to be able to do much about my interest until the new year as I'm tied up with work and away over New Year. Let me know.

If the Mi16 had the 16 valve engine and were more robust, does the transfer box (by inference stronger) fix a BX 4 x 4, does anyone know ?

Taking it another step, use a Mi16 to be a donor for a 16 valve 4 x 4 ?

I wondered if it was me but tried from work today and normally can, it's been like that for a couple of days. Hopefully it's nothing fatal.

Hi Doc, I'd appreciate it if you could ask the question, I wasn't thinking about repairing it, that sounds like and engineering shop task, just wondered if swapping it was a DIY job

Xantia 2.1 TD Hydraulic Pump

When the MOT was done 3 months ago the accumulator sphere was replaced, I didn't hear the clicking, it's a diesel ! Now on idle the stop / hydraulic light flickers, I'm told it's the HP pump probably caused by the flat sphere. They are not cheap and with the garage charges it'll be expensive. Can an...

I averaged 33 mpg consistently over a period of many months, I could have done better I guess but ... it's was a 16 valve. Now I average 42 to 45 out of the Xantia 2.1 TD over all travel. Got 36 mpg towing the C2 back from Doncaster on a large tandem trailer, and I passed things (bad me !)

Grey possible 16 valve in Merchiston Edinburgh

As she was driving home from Uni I got an oh grey 16 valve that looks like it doesn't move coz it's got green bits on it (hands free kit).

She's going to look proper next time, personally I'm amazed she noticed.
