Category: Citroen BX Articles
Here you’ll find automotive adventure articles on my Citroen BX. Love them or hate them, I’m stuck with them. From the first car that would barely start to my current Citroen BX16Valve, I’ve learnt a lot about cars and mechanics. I’ve had to!
Citroën BX – XPO – Fuel Pipes – Eps37b
Before the engine goes back in, this seemed like the right time to replace fuel pipes and recommision the fuel system.
Citroën BX – XPO – Engine Bay Preparation – Eps37a
It won't be long before the engine goes back in, so engine bay preparation of areas that won't soon be accessible seems sensible.

While the A-pillar rebuild on the XPO project seemed like a big challenge, restoring the electrics has proven far more taxing.
Citroën BX – XPO – Tackling the Scuttle – Eps32
With the windscreen surround repaired and new glass in, focus moves to the scuttle. Refitting the blower, washer bottles and a small repair.
BXProject@ Tour De Forty – Part Two
Part two of Tour De Forty will see us reach John O Groats on day three, with a rather unexpected change to the weather.
BXProject@ Tour De Forty – Part One
As it is not everyday that 40th birthdays come around, it seemed like an opportunity to treat the BX as we head out on Tour De Forty.

Following on from the Citroen BX Sphere article, I will share how I have made a Citroen Sphere Tester for BX spheres.
Citroën BX – XPO – Cleaning and Plating – Eps31
With so many correded metal parts on XPO, I took a dive into DIY cleaning and plating. Oh how I wish I had just let grown ups do it!
