speedo drive gear ratio question

by sonoramicommando » 04 Oct 2016, 22:11

Hi,
A bit of a silly question - I have a spare rolling drum speedo I want to chuck on a non-CX, so wanting to know the speedo gear ratio to see if the speedo reading will work out.
Cheers,

Ha don't give up if you've got a plan! If it's the black-on-yellow then it's a series one and I reckon they are all the same speed. They're meant to work behind a magnifying lens too, the lens vanished with the yellow drums around 1981 when the later ones came alog with the black drum and no lens. The early ones are my faves..

It had a longer wheelbase and body, and a modern 'for the time'...

Yes, i'm the same - not grabbed by anything Citroen produce at all. If the original C4 had been available with Hydractive 3 then maybe.

The CX Prestige certainly does have a raised roof. However the very first Prestiges (1976) had a low roof like the standard saloon and are therefore, very rare. I'm not certain about the vinyl covers though -...

I do find I have to pull the release lever quite hard...

Extremely late reply, but I recently faced a similar problem on my CX, and the culprit was the spot weld at the bottom of the vertical brace had let go. It looked fine with the bonnet up, but closing force flexed the slam panel down and the latch mechanism never properly engaged..

Proud new owner....

Hi all,

I'm the proud new owner of a tgd safari... (I've grown up imagining owning a safari so it's so cool to finally have one!) It's in amazing condition, but I do have a couple of concerns...
1) the steering pulls to the left. It self centres, and weights up nicely, but it feels like it's idea of 'centre' is just a bit off... Any ideas?
2) the...

Last post

Just had my steering centred as it was pulling to the left all the time. Unfortunately it went too far the other way and it thereafter pulled to the right! Sorted now though - evidently a really simple operation for somebody who knows what they're doing but I think it can be a bit trial and error to get it perfect.

I'm Birmingham based but have...

C-matic diagrams

So long story short, the valve unit of the gearbox was removed incorrectly allowing all the bits and piece to fall out. I have all of them, but can not be sure how they are meant to go together.
So if anyone know or has a diagram, it will literally be saving my cx from the scrapman.

Also, some scumbags smashed the driver side rear passenger...

I had a look, and could not find what I was looking for.

I'll take a pic of the part and post it.

Greetings all - hope everyone is well!

Picked up my shiny 'new' 22 TRS at the weekend after much deliberating over a couple I had to choose from - both with extremely appealing qualities.

In the end I went for a very basic (non VIP interior) 1988 model. It is virtually perfect in every way (no rust and absolutely everything works on it, which is...

Headlights

Hello!

Are the Series 2 single optic headlamps supposed to glow when switched to sidelights?

Mine (1988 TRS) doesn't do it (only the sidelights come on). I'm sure the headlights themselves are supposed to give off a low-level glow?

Last post

Fitted a new dim-dip resistor - all is fine! On sidelights, the main lights glow nicely as Citroen intended with the ignition on.

Thanks for your help! :-)

I've had 2 CX's with single optics and they didn't glow, must have been faulty dim dips on both.
Learn something new every day.

Shortly I will be putting up for sale 2 single optic lights...

Water leaking into interior?

by jwalshe » 31 Jan 2013, 09:16
First post

Hello all,

Has anyone had experience of this? Had the carpets up to dry them out so that's fine but... it seems the water is still getting in, with a small puddle in the rear compartment and a trail of water from behind the backrest. Boot inspection reveals water at the bottom of the back wall of the boot but nowhere else.

Where on earth could...

Last post

Check behind the LHM reservoir, when doing work on mine I found that area had rotted, allowing the passenger carpet to get drenched but also the blower transistor.

Wanted: Bumper support beam

by woodycx » 10 May 2013, 09:55

Hi, I have a series 1 CX which I have a replacement bumper for, but when i started swapping them over I realised the central beam which supports the bumper is a bit misshapen and crusty. I haven't yet had the bumper off to have a look, but I think a replacement would be the best move. Is it welded or bolted on? Does anyone have a decent spare or...

They're worth only what the local scrappy will give him for weigh-in and that'll be the case for a very long time yet sadly...

Now if he got his arse in gear and restored them then it would be a very different matter...
