Evening all

After my 1.9i Volcane threw a headgasket, I got myself a tidy 2.0i 8v version instead (Couldnt afford to be off the road and the car had just failed an MOT too)

Anyway, my main issue with the newer ZX (still a Volcane) is the gearbox. There is NO synchro left on 3rd gear. Now, I have a perfect and healthy gearbox in the older ZX but...

I have not been able to get the rear wash wipe to wash since I got the car and being a nice day today thought I'd investigate. The tube comes through the wiper arm onto a sort of plastic stick that is stuck on to the wiper. I disconnected the rubber tube from the stick and that works okay. I removed the plastic stick to clean it, thinking it would...

Missus's Xsara seems to have developed a lumpier than usual idle. It also tends to struggle to catch itself from stalling sometimes if the throttle is blips and it is left to return to idle. Previous owner StuartMcB told me when I bought it for her from him that it had a little modification that cured a stalling problem. This unit is pictured...

hi

has anybody any experience with fitting berlingo van brakes onto the front of a zx?

what year van do i need to get the callipers off?

do they bolt straight on?

do they fit the standard td vented discs or do they need berlingo discs on the front?

any comments?

Hi all hope all is well, my Xantia 110 Hdi is due Cambelt change soon this year, and just wondered if anyone has a rough idea of the cost of this.
I seem to renember a while back one dealer said it was an engine out job, which is a bit worrying. And info would be great.

Best Regards Andy.

The last couple of mornings and evenings when i turn the ignition on the pump makes its usual priming sound along with an electrical whine,but lately the electrical whine sound continues after ive started the engine and after she has heated up properly the sound disappears. Is there a problem about to rear its head or is the sound because the...

Hello

The passenger side rear door on my 95 Xantia keeps popping open when I alarm/deadlock the car (second button on fob).

It doesn't happen all of the time but seems to be worse in cold weather.

Any suggestions on what may be causing this or what I should look for before taking to the door with a screwdriver would be greatly appreciated.

on the large black fuel filter on zx diesels, there is a small white lug sticking out of the side at the bottom left of the filter housing - it runs inside under the filter element and has a spring on it too. Is this a one way valve to stop fuel draining from the filter housing to the tank???

could this be why im getting air in my system - if it...

Hi all,

Just thought i'd share my massive task of changing 2 pesky bulbs, and try and describe it better so that other people dont make the same mistakes i did!

The car is a '97 SX TD Estate, with 2 bulbs blown on fuel & temparature guages, thumping method has now ceased to solve the problem!

Hi,
A few months ago I mentioned serious problems with the roto diesel pump on my BX TD. The bearings were completely destroyed. I found a overhauled one and adjusted the timing with help of my ears and eyes. This forum has helped me a lot with tips on this subject. I am very confident with the result: I use the car a lot and drove more than 5000...
