First post

According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

XANTIA WEEKENDER

by vanny » 02 May 2005, 18:35

First post

An Activa weekend is sheduled, once my exams are done and im road bound again. Infact an Activa weekend has been planned for AGES, it just doesn't quite seem to materialise!

Last post

With all the talk about BX weekenders 1,2 & now number 3 to take place soon, and come to vannys help.
Good luck vanny, and I hope the car is sorted for the car show.
It seems the Xantia, appears to be left out.
Has there ever been an Xantia, or even an Activa weekender

Cry For Help - BX Weekend 3?

by fastandfurryous » 02 May 2005, 16:55

First post

Vanny. If you do find it's more than a dead turbo, and need a 1769ccTD engine to go straight in, I still have an ex-405 TD available. It's in brilliant condition with recent head skim & gasket. With the serious lack of space I now have with this 'ere Digit, I'd be willing to part with it for next to nothing.
And I'd be only too happy to shove it...

Hi Folks, well as most of you know after a successfull long haul trip down to portsmouth to get AdamSki's St Tropez BX (Which is a stupidly well behaved car!), my car became terminally i'll on the way home.
Discussions with a number of people has brought me to the conclusion that the Turbo has failed, and the Alternator has also failed in totally...

Good luck. There are several firms pottering about which can do things with those sorts of displays, one I am thinking of is a firm called Fylde Electronics who remanufactured some Rockwell Aim 65 displays when I was at college - these were similar but in red.

Gotit. After the last waste of time, when I went to go and get a BX DTR which left me stranded for a day, this collection went much better!
I'm going to put up a web page about this car in the near future, but for the moment:
What a funky car! From the looks of the car, it wasn't actually marketed as a BX DIGIT , as the one on eric's citroworld...

A quick hello and Intro

First post

welcome to the forum Jim!

Last post

Just to say hello and introduce myself...
I have just become the owner of an early Citroen Xantia SX TD. It's my very first foray into real Citroens (had an AX years ago) after many Peugeots, including 405 Diesels and 205 Diesels.
I still have a Peugeot though, my very much loved and papmered 205 GTi. I have got the Xantia for Daily Driver duties...

4Car 100 Greatest Cars

by lighteninguk » 30 Apr 2005, 05:20

First post

ah hum... like those 4 x 4's that drive around on the school run, seen a few round here with low profile (eg about 2cm rubber) tyres on bigger rims, seemd realy pointless to me, you know, you get a 4x4, and adjust it so you wouldnt realy beable to take it on a proper muddy farmers track or something, thats one of the things that wind me up.......

Last post

The results are in, apparantly the British public rated the Calibra ahead of the Traction Avant, the SM faired even worse and is slagged off in its desription....DS not doing as well as I thought (no.22)....nearly all of the top 20 are supecars and the Greatest Car is the Mclaran F1. Get kinda fed up with the most important criterea when reviewing...

I followed a lady in a Clio for about 5 miles along the dual carriageway this morning, she was doing 65 in the right hand lane with and empty left hand lane. It seems she needed to be in the right hand lane because she was going to turn right in 5 miles 5 roundabouts time...

This evening I was reading through my old clippings from motoring magazines (I saved anything I thought was interesting at the time) and found this from The Scribe (he wrote a weekly tongue-in-cheek page in The Autocar), dated 1957:
The left of the road is for learners and those who are prone to take fright.
The right of the road is for Frenchmen...

upholstering seats

by Stuart McB » 30 Apr 2005, 01:00

First post

Do you mean the whole seat? or just the bit you sit on or the back rest. Years back I used to re-pad using foam the drivers seat in my Austin Maxi 1750 HL (twin carbs).

Last post

Hi!
Fellas, do you find upholstering normal seats with springs instead of foam is doable?
i removed the driver's seat on the C5 to find out where a bit of play was coming from and it struck me (the idea, no the seat ).
Thanks!

PRACTICAL USEFUL SAFETY AID !

by yangreen » 29 Apr 2005, 17:33

First post

Can I have a slow vehicle one for me on a bike or in the 2cv?!

Last post

Take a look at these bags as they would make it safer if you ride a bicycle, or a motorbike. They would even be a nice safety idea if you have kids, and they are into riding a bicycle.

If your car should have a problem, then one of these bags could also be a useful warning, and safety aid when placed behind the car, or if it's raining on the...

bx 16v on ebay

by Jon » 28 Apr 2005, 23:03

First post

That looks a nice 16 valver! I think that the values of good ones will increase more and more, after all theres only about 1250 BX 16v's left in the UK now.

Last post

Only been on there a few hours and already on £560 ! shows how rare they are these days and it does look in good condition. I like the bit about having a totally standard engine but its 170bhp Hes been misinformed I guess as hes advertising it for a friend

Bl**dy DVLA again

by Kowalski » 28 Apr 2005, 14:49

First post

You can't SORN the car because its not registered in your name.
So you get it registered in your name and INSTANTLY (go straight to jail, do not pass go, do not collect £200) you're liable for not declaring it off the road. I'm sure the nice people at the DVLA will sort this out fairly quickly and efficiently.
Don't worry, we'll all come to...

Last post

Today I got 3 letters in the post
1) a V5c for Vera (registration document)
2) a letter saying that I could not declare SORN on the car as it was not registered in my name (applied for this when I bought the car)
3) a fine because I am the new registered keeper and I have not declared SORN
For overseas listeners SORN is this governments way of...
