On the BX powersteering models, there are four pipes. One pipe from the FDV to the pinion valve (long one with curly bit in the middle), one pipe from pinion to ram and one pipe back again (these are both relatively short and from experience these are where leaks can occur and have crush connections...

I have one no fault claim on my insurance record. Ford Focus driver, on the wrong side of the road, with main beam and fogs on (at about 6pm in November and it wanst very dark), barreled past and ripped his wing mirror clean off, and exploded the glass on the floor too! He felt he'd been hard done b...

hmmm, not had mine yet, maybe it will arrive tomorrow?

The BX Club forum is now back open and intact less the 'pond'

update, called looks like im getting a new bx and its white but it is a 16v!


looks like it will be a straight swp too



(however if anyone has a really souped up mi16v with 10 miles on it then i'll do a swap and save Jazz )

the guy replied, a long reply but it came out as jibberish my end. He knew it had happened and folled up basically saying he couldnt be bothered to write it all down and to just give him a call!

Which i will, but mad busy right now!

That seems a bit expensive to me Might have to see if we can get some machined up on mass!

Might soon have a BX to strip down, its coming from the pug side of things and guess what, apparently its in mint condition! Fkin typical! anyhows the engine is getting ragged out this weekend, and i have first refusal on the shell. Dont know what colour it is, but basically does nyone need any seri...

would someone like to share with me the relative merits of adding distributor less ignition? Is it hard to do? Just what do i need and where can i source the parts from? How does it plug into the standard ECU? Thinking it's an option (thats been suggested a number of times), and since i'm not aiming...

Thats a pretty good point, and i think i did take them out when i timed it up, and of course the illustrious 'Toddman Timing Pins' where used!

Maybe anything hydraulics related. Much easier to change the octupus with engine out ;-) Octopie where recently replaced, as was the pinion valve seals, which went wrong and blew up the ram! Need new seals though as i had to butcher the old ones to get them to move :( This time i have lots of pictu...

erm, i didnt actually find it my house mate did, and he's a little bit mini obsessed (and welded to the broadband!), he comes up with all sorts of mad clips, but this one had much more significance i guess!

fuel lines are only about a year old so they can stay, and i'll simply drain the tank out and refil with petrol (which will be a funny experience as i dont think i've used a petrol pump before). A load of the piping will need to be replaced anyways as the feed line (from the tank to the pump to the ...

So looks like i've sourced an engine :D still need a host of parts, but thanks to a number of members here i'm slowly gathering what i need! So the engine i have found has a lot of miles on it, and runs, BUT i should probably have 6 months before i think about putting it in (might even lob a head ga...
