Ok,
a little bit of a hint ... So what tools have you guys needed to modify/create/butcher ?? I have a toolbox full of them ... I'll post some more later:

After a quake, a tsunami, another quake or two, here comes the latest drama.
Talk about getting it rough; we migh all have to move to the Northern Hemisphere if this keeps up.

Maximum image size on the AS forum should be 500 x 375 pixels. Any bigger and its a pain for dialup users, plus it alters the shape of the forum.
If you have pictures that you think are worth it but are too large, email me and I will resize and upload to the Andyspares server.
If you flout this rule, there are 2 options:
1) If I consider that the...

Seen it. Looks Good to me. The wife says it's a little too blue for her taste inside. LOL

She wants to watch that knife..... might cut herself.

and on, and on and on and on.
And still no bug*** gives a damn!

would give it a look if my own network filtering hadn't have blocked it!

You should worry little. Here in the UK we pay the equivalent of AU$2.15 per litre of fuel. And people wonder why we buy small french diesel cars!

Never ever click on a link in an email like that.
If it is from your bank/ebay/paypal then go directly to their site the way you would normally and log in.
Don't even click out of curiosity, you don't know what nasties are lurking on the site you get sent to.

Bio-diesel costs more to make than mineral diesel its the tax that makes up the difference making mineral diesel more expensive to sell because bio-diesel gets a 20p/litre tax break.
Bio-diesel is cheaper after tax than mineral but because its a greener fuel the forecourts believe they can charge more for it, its a premium product that is cleaner...

Can't confirm Neil but it's got a line drawing showing the filter/oil pump ass. being removed with a single terminal sensor next to it.
I would say it was the oil pressure sensor as the water temp. sensor would be on the head.
One way to check, remove the wire and earth it on the block. If the lamp and wiring is ok then the oil light will come on...

1900 NA type, currently cheap. I typed in Citroen
BX and it came up. Should be useful to somebody here.

Seen a couple when i've been out looking for xant's in the last fortnight, they look a really proffesional fitment very neat and out the way. But really wanted a diesel though.

Speaking of MIG welders I took mine into work last week and had the welder man give it a good going over, gosh, I never knew they could work so well :-)
There are some advantages of working for a bog name tool firm after all.

A good 1.9 takes some beating, sent me off thinking about my MK1 RD those seats were comfy too, AdamskiBX looks like the EBay GTI is going to go on quite a bit, a decent diesel is a very good intro to the BX.

Those 323f's are great cars and look cool. Whats it like to drive?

Auto glym, I found are the best. They do all sorts of polish, waxes. Stay away from that wash 'n' wax as it leaves the windscreen all smery when you put the wiper on in the rain.

Doesn't seem worth it to me. Probably just someone making money out of selling water in a squeezy bottle!
Besides, it only works for cameras with flash - no good against those vans and some other cameras. Correct speed past cameras still has to be the best way.

Quite good section celebrating 50 years of the DS in this months 'Classic and sports car'. Also brief review of CX Prestige in the back.

I have a poorly scanned copy. It's actually got very decent detailed information in it. It's not really a sales pamphlet as it is way to detailed. It's a good description of how a turbocharger works.

Shane L.

Sounds good to me.
Date & Venue needed - we never quite made it to the air museum last time, I seem to remember the pub getting in the way a bit.

Local shops still sell veg oil for 42p a Litre. .......... I'm totaly off topic of course, just thought it worth a mention..
.

Someone will prob want the MG and Rover brand names. Don't think theres been a decent new rover since the p6.

what...................... was.......... that............................?

Aww shucks Tom, you made me blush What will the epithet be when I get to the thousand?

Fairly well known european kit car. Not bad at all.

Might as well break it up for parts Vanny, with all the work and all that, bagsy first dibs on the interior
Stewart
seriously if you need any help you only have to call.

My TZD has just passed its second MOT test with me, zero faults! I am a little worried about the beginnings of corrosion in the rear door shuts though, my last one was bad in this area and was basically made up of bits of welding , I intend to heavily coat this one with Zinc paint before it develops any further, next task is to replace the...

But you haven't got a Traction or a DS......their attitude sounds like the MG owners club when the MG Maestro and Metro appeared-they were every bit an MG in being a concoction of production parts, and probably closer to the original MG spirit than the MGA twin cam ever was, but they were'nt built at Abingdon and they didn't like them, and still...

I spotted another cinematic DS that I had never seen before the other night- theres a DS amongst the old yank iron that goes round and round in 'Dark city',an excellent scifi/horror crossover with Richard o'Brien and Kiefer Sutherland, which appears to have been looted of most its plot for 'The Matrix'.

The Pug ones will fit, as will the 15 ones from 406s etc,Volcanes etc 6 wide rims will go on, BX GTI steels were 5.5 inch wide and were fitted to some 405s might make tyres easier and cheaper too, I had problems finding 195,60,14s for the BX from my local part worn place, ended up buying new uniroyals, can drive aroundroundabouts without sliding...

Speak for others I live in Wales. its continually pissing down, our water is amongst the finest, my homebrew is very drinkable........hic,,,,

Ear to the ground? It should be ear to the websites.
No disrespect to your website Jon, but as a reader of Car Mechanics you'd think this column was put together by journalists talking to reliable contacts in the trade.
I know a lot of members of this forum, me included, read Car Mechanics, but every month I get left with the feeling it's a cheap...

two turbos?
theres some car in development at the mo (cant remeber who's designing it) thats got 4 of them...... more power any one?

Target audience of the spoof advert yoooofs.
Concept, and idea from an advertising company where a Mr Wayne King, managed to get a customer to use his idea.

That picture is showing off the few pits in the bonnet . Its fairly badly stone chipped.
I thought there was a big scrape in the picture of the left had side of the car. On closer inspection its the seller again...

She probably doesn't do many miles, why don't you leave your CX2500 GTi Turbo II in her shed. She'll probably only give it a run for you each Sunday (to get to bowls) .... ...
You can call it a grandma driven to bowls on Sunday car if you ever want to sell it

No wonder it's cheap, NO air con

Andy,
Those things are made out here and are a fairly common mower.
Do you have a particular problem or is it that you need it for some other reason?
I can have a look around although I can't say that I've ever seen a Gregory's service manual for one of those but there could be some actual Victa info available.
Do you have an actual model number...

Considering the 308 began life in the early 70's as the 308 dino, and was then rebodied in the 'Magnum' style body it's not done too bad over time. I've driven a 328 GTBi and whilst it was nice, some fairly ordinary scoobies would blow it away these days, but a 360 Stradale on the other hand...
Compared to the Marinas, Cortinas and Vivas that...

I think it ends up as traffic film stuck to my windscreen. Either that or the horrible black muck that turns my pollen filter black.

I've always thought they looked as though they would be quite fun - shame about the shape and that excessively tall screen.
I don't know how the chassis withstands rust, but at least the bodywork is fibreglass.
Performance is adequate and probably a fun car on a sunny day.

Yo Dude!!

5 door xsara td would fit the job for you being a citroen person would it not?

heh, wonder what engine the one on the right is, 115bhp but 291ft/lb, didnt know any of the current psa diesels had that high a torque output?

wow, doesnt look like a xantia at all. Dont think I like it, but its different :-)

Do they do a Burberry paint as well now??

I've paid about £45 for a weekend a few years ago. A twin axle job with a tilting bed.

My brother nearly collected a cyclist who was trying to undertake me as I stopped to drop him off, I had my left hand indicator on too. I could have understood it if I had overtaken him, but I hadn't...
