Want a low cost sound deadening solution? Go to a DIY shop and buy yourself a couple of rolls of AquaSeal roof flashing. I used this stuff on my door cards and it works.
OK so it's not as great as stuff like Dynamat but it does help kill some noise and it only costs around £7 for a 2m roll.

Similar fix for whistly wiper arms-turn them up or down a spline.
Abviously this is rather difficult at over 40 mph, but not impossible if you have an athletic passenger who happens to be an octopus.

Last post

When driving along in my BX I often notice a whistling sound at speeds above 40 MPH. This is due to the fan blades having air rush past them. To stop it, simply turn the blower on very fractionally and it stops.

This works great but remember to use the doesage stated or even a little less. Cos if u dont you will be cleaning the headlining for weeks trying to get the white stains out. And yes im speaking from experince but i now own a Pug 405 with probably the cleanest headlining in the world (well in places).
later si

If your head lining needs to be cleaned try using that new Oxy clean. Put the doseage required in to a spray bottle and spray on to the lining. Let it work it self in for about 5 mins then simply wipe off. It brought up my ZX head lining like new and even removed the previous 10 years worth of cigarette smoke (none smoker my self).

usual story, battery was disconnected, I HAVE the code, I've tried the advice given elsewhere. First digit is easy 1, second digit is 9, does the radio accept the first digit then move onto the second or is this acheived by pressing the 2nd preselect the required number of times? - as I now have 1222! Currently waiting for the time to pass when I...

how bout zx model?

Last post

With Citroens up to the BX (and possibly beyond) one of the simplest tasks is to remove the tail lights.
In the case of the CX & BX they are held in place with a piece of spring stainless steel that is tapered in a wedge shape. To remove, it's a case of pressing this down until the entire assembly pops out of the hole it sits in. The bulbs are on...

In the final push to remove the Zx gearbox during a clutch change, unfortunately you may end up damaging the radiator with the gearbox.(especially if you are doing the job on your own) To prevent expensive damage I had a piece of 18 gauge steel folded so that the top 4 inches go over the front panel to hold the protector in place, and the rest of...

I own a ZX 1.6i Aura 1993. It is bleeding coolant from a pipe that connects the coolant hose with the heating system. I´m looking for a manual to find out the spare part number of that connector pipe. The pipe has a L shape and it is attached to a similar one that connects the exit of the coolant liquid from the heating system to he back part of...

Just a quick tip. When bleeding the coolant system on a ZX if you loose the bleed cap from the hose on the pipe at the righthand side of the engine, then the dust cap from a car tyre valve (or bike Schrader valve) fits perfectly. BUT check it regularly and do not overtighten otherwise it can split and you end up losing...
