While I wouldn’t consider myself to be a thoroughbred petrol head, I’ve had more than a few Automotive adventures. Be it fighting off the hands of time from my Citroen BX, to tinkering with my Land Rover, there’s always something going on with cars. Here you can catch up on my latest Automotive Articles.
My most recent Automotive articles
- Citroën BX – XPO – Pastures New – Eps50
After nearly four years, XPO is off to pastures new. But not before a lap around a motor racing circuit and a near ‘thermal event’. - Citroën BX – XPO – The Finishing Line – Eps49
Nearly four years into the XPO project, the finishing line is in sight. The BX is almost ready for MOT until a last-minute disaster strikes! - Citroën BX – XPO – Bodywork Revival – Eps48
After many years of work and with mechanical and hydraulic issues solved, it was time for bodywork revival! - Citroën BX – XPO – Wheel Alignment – Eps47
Steering rack changed, and hydraulic leaks resolved, I finally had forward motion. But bad wheel alignment was stopping reversing movement! - Citroën BX – XPO – Hydraulic Octopus – Eps46
While the steering rack change didn’t stop the hydraulic leaks, a new hydraulic octopus (leak back harness) should stop the fluid loss. - BXProject@ Rustival2
With dark nights upon me, and little car-playing opportunities available, I look back at Rustival2, one of my highlights of the car year. - Citroën BX – XPO – Steering Rack Leak– Eps45
With the engine running and exhaust installed, the hydraulic leaks were starting to spring up. The worst was the steering rack leak! - Citroën BX – XPO – Exhaust Installation – Eps44
Engine running, and rather than continue deafening myself with the raw tones of the XU9j4, exhaust installation is the order of the day!

Does the world need another Freelander 2 boot switch write up? Probably not. But will this one be over detailed and lengthy? Yes, it will! - Land Rover – FL2 Tail Light Security
After reports of Freelander 2 tail light theft, I want to take away an opportunity for theft. Installing tail light security screws are a quick and easy fix. - Freelander – NW4x4R LANTRA Training
I’ve recently completed a LANTRA training course with NW4x4R. General Grabber AT3 tyres certainly helped, the lack of ground clearance didn’t! - Retrofit – Freelander 2 – Reversing Camera
Do I need a reversing camera? Probably not. But having retrofit one to the Freelander2 and I’m glad that I did! - Workshop – Making Roof Bar Storage
