Ah the fun we have with international relation! :) Fondly remember doing a complete work schedule for some Poles in pictures, only to discover the next day that there leader spoke English!! :twisted: On the point in hand, No plug cover but the idle speed valve is shared with 306 1.6 and lots of othe...

The original though was if the TD starter fits? have afew BX Td starters, they seem longer and thinner than the 16V ones fitted, but crucially the gearbox fitting is the same, the only question then is whether the pinions are comaptible with the flywheel? see no reason why not? If this is the case t...

Very smart, recently painted? and if so where did you get the trim? we can get lengths of standard stuff from suppliers but not orig Citoen ones.

Not so sure it can, most of the bumper type stuff is stuck either with resins like the bumper mouldings themselves, or with the Black rubberised stuff, any heat able to destroy those will also destroy the bumper! rather unfortunately! On the rear I've never bothered to reinstae the crusty support co...

Go for new, GSF shitty ORDONEZ is better than nothing!, mine cost £54. as he says use quality antifreeze and change it regular like actually at the 2 years it says on the can! Distilled water is important if you live in hard water but ours here is fine, could just use ready mixed long life tho.. Hav...

The springs don't hold tghe pads in the pins do taht, they stp them rattling! ( so long a stheyre not fitted by a Kwik fit clown) If you cant get a listing for the bX try 205 or 306, some models use similar pad shapes, any dcent motor fctors will have some. wear sensors are an interesting point, the...

Anything to do with bumpers requires an angle grinder! only way to shift the rusty nonsense Citroen call brackets! make new one sand bond back on with Fibregalss or similar don't do it too well or you'll crack the bumper in ana impact...... good job I've more bumpers than citroen......

I'd love to sell it! cos its eating space But the owners a friend and had it since his misspent youth! proposed to his wife in it I beleive, tho she'd rather not see it back cos the garage is full of new TVR.... bit car nuts me thinks so it won't be wasted! Popped into Skip Brown a while back, who d...

I do, but not just any Lotus, a very Rusty Lotus! in fact a Sunbeam lotus, better for knocking down trees on rally stages! Oh yeh, and its not mine! its a customer one which has been in residence for 18 months and is now growing roots.........

Ah ha, I wasn't wrong per-say, the first picture was blocked earlier!
its a gilbern invader, made in wales with a V6 F**D

AND I'VE ALLWAYS WANTED ONE!

second is the Jenson, which uses the same engine as the lotus in garage!

and the later is a mystery to me!

The first one LOOKS jenson healey ish, tho its not? and the later looks Datsun like, which is prob cos youv'e been on some Nissan sites....

A good idea!, would have expected this to notice more at high revs when demand fotr fuel is greatest, but then logic rarely applies to a citroen! Testing fuel pressure is a little tricky, you can buy a kit of guages but I guess any pressure guge and a T peice in the line would do, just need to be ca...

The crap idle does not bother me, its the missfire that does. have just dug out the spaer throttle bodies so will rebuild them for a swap. Have no intention of rebuildingv the engine untill theres no car for it to go in! thern it can be done and get a proper control sytem for kitcar or such. From th...
