But most likely you...

Does the suspension seem otherwise fine once it's pumped up?
I would suspect it doesn't always raise up because the height corrector is a bit sticky. I think I'm right in saying the rear anti-sink valve should be suspected.
What condition is the LHM? If it's anything other than perfect I'd drain and flush the system before refilling

The fan speed module is in the earth path of the blower motor, which means the +12V is feeded to one side of the fan (via fuse F2), and then the other side is earthed via the speed module, which in effect is an electronic variable resistor.
If you can not get the fan at work, and the speed module appears dead , then you...

Hi Nigel,
I've thought about this, and think its a lot of work. The Xantia 1.9TD uses the BE3R box with the famous pull clutch (release bearing is part of cover plate). I know that you can mate the 1.9TD unit to the ML/ME5 type box as Citroen did it in the Dispatch/Jumpy vans. These use a conventional clutch arrangement. To get the ML5T into the...

Last post

Does anyone know if it is realistic to try and fix an ML5T gearbox from an XM TD12 to said Xantia (1999). Reason I ask is that I have 2 such gboxes and the chance of picking up a very nice Xantia break with a busted ME5T 'box and Xantia gboxes are like hens teeth over here.

But now when I ask a question about HDi tuning boxes it seems BX's are back in favour.

All you need to do is fit a BX GTi 8v downpipe, job done. Its a big long thing that includes a small muffler. It then joins into the interpipe (hockey stick) which goes to the crossbox which goes to the rear silencer!
I'd budget for an interpipe too, could be a nightmare to separate the old one from the catted downpipe, they are quite cheap.

Last post

It needs decatting. Earlier models didn't have cats. Is this a matter of getting a longer front downpipe? Does the downpipe carry the front silencer. Sorry to ask but I haven't been under the car yet. David tells me that there are three boxes plus the cat, two at the back and one at the front.Is that right?

So you have built a 1.9 TZD?
What did you need to do to a poor innocent BX to make it work. I guess the mountings, intercooler etc are all in the same places but it is always the peripheral bits, Rad, driveshafts clutch linkage and exhaust usually that give the problems. I have a petrol car that just might get Dieselled so I'd welcome your ideas.

If the suspension is harsh then the spheres are the most likely candidate so it's a good place to start.

It only slips out of 5th when the revs are dropping and the car is going round a corner.
There is a fair bit of movement on the engine mounts (quite a lot)

My middle exhaust pipe has corroded. My local Citroen man says I should have a new Straight through pipe, instead of a pipe with a Cat.
