My bet is on the ignition module.

Your '91 would have the ignition module (a flat device with a 3pole connector) on the distributor body.
It's called the 5pin (or 3+2 pin) type.

The chances are that it is not the gauge or sender unit but the voltage stabiliser, a small sealed box usually found somewhere on the instrument panel. The purpose of this unit is to slow down the movement of the gauge needle, as the float moves up and down with the movement of the fuel.

You lift the front of the squab (flat section) and it will pop forward slightly then lift it at the back so it sits against the front seats.
Then drop the seat back down flat.
I have to move the front seats forward to get the back down, not sure if it is the same on cars without leather.

That 16V is surely worth the value - it's a former prize winner - exceptionally well maintained & tuned up.
It's been modified from injection to twin-carb.
Just the look down the engine bay is impressive - you wont find any like it
Hope any new owner will take well care of this rare car.

It is idiotic
Note that there are 2 variants according to trim level on various models :
1) the more common type with a push button switch up on the dash ( idiotic type )
2) the rare (luxury trim) type with controls on the RHS stalk. This type controls selective wipe / wash.

Hi, does anybody know for sure what is the correct operation of BX rear wiper and splash? Is the switch designed for push slightly - wiper+splash, push more - only wiper , or is it idiotic enough to provide only for wiping and splashing simultaneously?

I'm only speculating, but says that
Too high an injection quantity in certain sub ranges (heavy acceleration) leading to increased fuel consumption and smoke emission and then to thermal engine damage.
Of course, the site is all to sell their range of boxes.

I find that the GSA engine is easier to get out than a Dyane one, once you have taken the front off the car. Just stick beer crate (save half of the bottles) under it, take mounting bolts and bellhousing nuts off, wheel car back. Finish beer after you put it back.

Yes it is Stempy, the (Hydractive) centre spheres are totally different as they get 'isolated' when the suspension switches over to 'firm' mode. Therefore the size of the hole is not that relevant.

Last post

Having just puchased a set of suspension spheres (but not acc or as) for the Xant I was having a look at them prior to fitting and they all seem to have very small (damping?) holes except for the centre rear which looks quite different. Is this right? I'd like to know I have the right ones for the job before starting.

No special recommandations for standard/antisink/hydractive motion.
The idea is to keep alive the mecanical linkages by the Citaerobics, and to vent out any air (and gas from leaking spheres).
Once a month would be a good pointer.
The LHM should look very fresh green, best checked with a battery torch down the fluid surface. If you like going into...

Height corrector linkage is always the first place to look. The height correctors can be removed, stripped and cleaned. Links are available to instructions. Before doing this though, give the end of the height corrector a good squirt of oil and see if it can be made to free up. If not, then you'll be stripping them down.

If I am right, I think it is better to have cold air being drawn into the engine rather than hot, this is because there is more oxygen in cold air than hot.
