Can anyone tell me how to remove the standard stereo/radio from the Citroen ZX. The one with the plastic flap.
Please help this is driving me insane

I believe you just need to remove the two rubber gromits facing you and use a screwdriver on the two screws. Once the two screws are out you should be able to pull the unit forward and out!

Its a very simple job. Firstly look for the code for your radio it will be handy to know if you have it before removal. Lift up the flap thing and you will see two rubber bungs, one on each side pull these out and remove the screws, I think they are a strange type possibly torx so a good screw driver set is needed. The radio will then pull out. There are four more screws holding the mounting plate in place. You will need an adaptor plate to install a new stereo (same part as for berlingo) these tend to be overpriced about £20. The stereo has ISO connections which means easy connection.

Thanks for the help, I can't believe how easy it was. I never thought to try and remove the rubber bungs!
Can anyone recommend a good place to get the facia adapter from? The cheapest I've seen is about £30.
Cheers

Try Citroen, they sell the adapter for about £15, Halfords do one for £13 I think, if they have it in stock!! I was lucky enough to find mine in a local scrappy, give them a go, it only cost me £2. Regards

Buy your adapter plate from a Citroen main dealer. And whilst you are about it why not treat yourself to a pair of 'custom fit' replacement door speakers?
