Nice clear dash that, and always useful to have a grilled fish warning light too.

And all the cross hatching on the doors and seats reminds me of o level technical drawing.

Oh, what?

 

I knew the BXBike had been sold.

I knew roughly where the BXBike lived (only roughly, don't fret!)

I saw where your journey was taking you.

 

AND I STILL GUESSED A 306.

£££FORE SNAIL£££

 

I agreed to buy it when I was drunk.  I have no room for it, I have no use for it and the missus went fucking ballistic when I actually followed through and collected it (pun intended).

 

 

 

So, if anyone fancies it, do speak up.  I dont think there was enough interest the last time it was offered for roffle to warrant another one.

 

 

I'm not wanting a proffit out of it, and dont mind a loss, but it does have to go.

 

 

 

And the world keeps turning.

Owing to the ongoing works on the Oldsmobile, and the Mercury now being a NYPD replica and not a daily car, I am looking for a daily car in exchange (swap) for my 1991 Honda Prelude. It is lovely, but a bit small for the daily stuff. I haz a dog etc. Looking for an XM really. Had three in the past... Ideally an estate, but hey...

Anyone?

One last stop at Wetherby services for a Greggs.

Seeing those last two photographs at the services made it look like you abandoned the car half-way into the loo

Great stuff, glad to see this staying in the fold.

 

Can I ask, is the Austin badge on the dashboard destined for anyone? It's the correct type I need for my Maestro tailgate, and looks in better condition than the original which is a bit tatty!

I'm on three already. I don't know what the symptoms are of overdosing on Imodium, bound to be hillarious though.

Constipation, and permanent liver failure. Read the instructions and weep. You WILL die.

the rev counter tale.

 

Originally, the BX of many had a base instrument cluster with a clock where the Rev counter should be and a blanking plate where the clock should be. In my wisdom, I fitted a rev counter as the clock was broked. Now, Citroen being Citroen, instead of using a standard wiring loom and just leaving unused plugs on lesser models, they used a completely different loom with fewer wires.

 

Oh, it gets better on the diesel. Those without rev counters didn't have the pick up on a bracket by the flywheel to drive the counter BUT had another, identical, pick up fitted a bit further up and left unwired (well, it ends at a brown plug fixed around the top of the engine area). This was for service technicians to plug a rev counter into to set tickover speeds and the such.

 

Forward about 27 years and one day I decided to see if I could get a working rev counter instead of a non working clock. Much time was spent rebuilding the dash cluster and adding wires to the loom for the digital clock and rev counter . Result? Correctly working (and dimming) clock but no rev counter.

 

At that point the ah, fuck it, I'll fix it later rule applied.

One wing is badly painted in a similar colour, but the rest is fair enough.

Yes and no. Yes, it's two different colours and no, it shouldn't be.
