Plus: Everyone seems to drive a Touareg or Cayenne nowadays and german car builders are still not able to supply particle filters for all diesel cars.

Thinking again: You already thought that, didnt you?! :lol:

There could be perfume coming out of the exhaust, no one would care, until there would be an emissions class for it. It's not that easy because of all the bureaucracy here. I wouldnt get into any planned "environmental zones" (roughly translated)...problem is: zones are pretty large...and ...

Probably last year of bx driving for me...

Because of this emissions discussion here in germany it now looks like only a small amount of BX 14s will be allowed to drive in 2008. Well, at least until 2010. The horror scenario is that all other BXs will be banned from the streets (and of course all other older cars that go into the same emissi...

Seems there are several stupid car-related things going around in europe this time. Over here in Germany they want to ban euro2 diesels (and probably euro1 petrols in the near future) because of environmental issues (!). Oh, and there are plans that MOT will have to be passed every year...well, actu...

It should stick to the API-GL4 specifications. Castrol has some TAF-X (?!) should be 80w/90 about 2 Liters i think. You can fill it up until oil comes out again, that will do the trick.

C-Pillar panels are an easy job...Hmm, you could use some tools that are used for cutting glas, that would do the trick nicely. Be careful with the rear wheel arches though, they're glued AND screwed on (EDIT: can be seen when wheels removed). Btw, anyone know how to remove a phase2 spoiler from the...
