I fitted the two front and they are fine. I had an accumulator sphere also, fitted that and also OK. The one on the car was good but clicks seem less frequent now so pleased all round.

Car has been running well, can't believe how well.

Fitted the seal Saturday. Looked diff. to the original which had a toothed look to it. Howevever, whilst the new one is probably cheaper to make, it may be better. You just have to push the shaft into initially. Working fine.

Just looked Vanny,
One is dated 0ct 05, I have had them a couple of yrs. Wonder if they will be better than the ones I fitted in May 95 (I know cus I dated them!)
Will fit and see.

Thank guys, I will fit the new ones as there seems nothing to lose. I bought them off ebay a while back so who knows.

Spheres, do they deteriorate ?

Does anyone know if spheres deteriorate if not used. If so, I may well put my new ones on the car now. Secondly, will being on the car accelerate their demise. What wears them out, use and time or mainly use? When I say use, in my case it is not thousands of miles per year, more like 10's of miles f...

Just bought some: Left 96080793 (RP312127) Right 96080792 (RP312126) Hi Jay, clearly the top number you quote caused me concern being different to mine. I have checked with dealer, they are the same part, my number just supercedes the one you have. At least we now know we have the correct part. Tha...

Oilseal-diff part number

Hi chaps,

Does anyone know the part number for the oil seal where the l/h drive shaft goes into the diff. There seems to be a bit of ambiguity at the dealers about it. I have 312144 at the moment, the same as saxos. Does not specify it very well on the parts list.

Wow, just over a year since I started this thead. Where am I at? Last year I needed a new front O/S ABS sensor. This I fitted and the damn light stayed on. Further checking showed rear N/S gone! How could that be I thought, not even been out. Finally two weeks ago I fitted the new sensor. Did not re...

Saw this a couple of days ago, have read his son's post since. He will be missed on many forums, I had a few pm's with hm in the past, noticed he was not posting and now know why. The web makes getting info easy but as in this case it is not always good.

Had the BX out of the garage today. Not been started since April :oops: Started immediately. So much nicer than last year when I had the starting problem. Turned out to be a spark plug at fault. I had an old Equyem in the draw which I fitted when I discovered one cylinder was missing. At least it ha...
