That is an excellent idea which could work well. I might string my BX then use super tracker after!

Yeah I’ve found someone who can do it, I’m now thinking I need to find a rig myself then I’ll never have to pay anyone again!

Will do! I get a fair few come through the workshop!

Unsure to be honest. I’m not a big Ford man, I don’t mind these 2.0’s tho. Nice and quiet and bags of power

Haha that’s my personal car. Got a full video series on it if you’re interested. Bloody love that car 😂😂

Yeah they do drive great!! I believe most the issues could be avoided with proper maintenance

Honesty couldn’t tell you! Can’t say I’ve ever seen at front mains leak

These are an absolute doddle and not very complicated in comparison to a VW 6.1 MAR engine!

Hmm that’s a decent level of sealant. A nice 3mm bead. A nice even amount has spread through. I don’t see a problem whatsoever

We need to get one put in the Calendar !!

Cheers! Also I’m unsure, non of my customers use their vehicles on track. They handle fast road use very well tho.

Yep! This was on 130k miles. I might have one in soon on 70k with a snapped belt!

Great stuff to know!!!

I don’t know matey, just go to your local dealer and get them 👍

@@ZakKol69 Thanks mate and yeah probs will do, I was just hoping to avoid asking as it's still under warranty. Not had its first service so, I don't want them to get funny if I do a oil change before the first standard service.

@@James-ns6jm yeah I can understand that. I’m in the trade so I just ring TPS for my genuine parts !

Cheers Baz!!

Agreed!! I’m a firm believer of keeping these old cars on the road!!! I don’t care if they’re fit for the scrap or not your personal taste, if they’re on the road that’s great!! As for your 16v, epic. Bloody love the 16v’s but they’re unfortunately out of my price range

Hhahaha she’s been running on fumes for a few months that’s for sure 😂😂😂

This is why I love UA-cam. Thanks! Hate how these don’t have a coolant temp gauge tho

@@ZakKol69 the higher end sporty variants (GTi) had temperature gauges. The 16 TRS is a comfort model, and thus doesn't have it. It does have a lamp which indicates overheating. Also, off topic, but removing those spacers from the front struts will probably improve the driving characteristics considerably.

@@jugostran yeah that makes sense! Hopefully my coolant warning light works, will do some testing eventually. And yeah I absolutely love the look, but in the future maybe over winter I am going to decrease the size of them a little bit to make it more drivable.

@@ZakKol69 That sounds like a good idea. I have no idea if mine even works. Also, regarding the look - BXs sink fairly low as standard, and at the lowest setting they ride on the bump stops (you aren't supposed to drive them like that). Considering one of the key selling points of the BX is the self leveling suspension which allows for perfect geometry (as explained by fellow UA-camr UP'nDOWN), I'd recommend removing the spacers entirely. It'll still look good on its lowest suspension setting. There is a BX nearly identical to yours for sale on the Autoscout24 online classifieds service (same colour and Ronal Turbo wheels) which has unmodified suspension, so you can see how it looks (its almost identical to yours). Another note - the windshield wiper isn't supposed to park in the middle, it's meant to park on the bottom left of the windscreen. While this may look interesting, it isn't really practical having the wiper in the middle of your windscreen for everyday use.

@@jugostran I really enjoy up and down videos! They’re excellent. As for my car, a few owners ago the vehicle was owned by the owner of EVA restoration, a man famous for suspension upgrades and making cars low, when this car is driving down the road it looks fantastic this low, an effect / road presence that a standard BX just doesn’t have for me, especially with these wheels. So I’ll definitely be sticking with the current setup just instead of it being 60mm lower on the front like it is now I’ll maybe go to 40mm. The wiper in the middle has also taken extensive modifications to make work too and wouldn’t be easily returned to standard. Also i think the “DTM style” wiper looks pretty good

Cheers for helping with the detail! You the man. Looked so good!!

Yeah the rear light definitely needs some attention need to keep my eyes peeled! New copper washer was used!

It’s got a body drop on the front. Hence the raised bonnet

@@ZakKol69 thanks, really cool

Proper car !!

140k

I know! Apologies, I messed up with the edit on this one

Love a 306!! Is it a D turbo?? And yeah it wouldn’t surprise me if they are the same. Strangely small on the front of the BX with the handbrake also being on the front!

@@ZakKol69 its the HDI model, the last of the 3 door models. on a Y reg, Budget 306s had these too, until they switched to the larger setup on the front.

Valves hit the pistons mate! Makes abit of a mess but all fixable

Yeah it’s abit strange isn’t it. It got done around 6 years ago. Sort of like a body drop I suppose. If I end up keeping the car I’ll do something a little bit nicer than that

Nearly there!!

Gut

🤌

An extra 1 hour ontop of the oil change 👍

Cheers! Managed to source some from the BX owners club on Facebook!

Yeah I’ve had this complaint a few times now. Need to invest in a mic I think

@@ZakKol69use audacity or your editor to bring the volume up

@DaveLaneGC it was my own fault, I was playing around in editing software and messed it up

@@ZakKol69 no worries… I mostly used volvic in my diesel bx… also if you have issues with the suspension the hoses pop off. So if after swapping return pipes you need to review everything

Yeah I’ll monitor the return hose situation

She’s a beauty!!!

Thanks for always watching

Cheers mate! I think so too!

Cheers Russ! They’re a nice looking motor

Got a few more RS3 videos in the pipeline! Keep your eyes peeled

Thanks matey!

Yeah dude see you soon!!

So cool aren’t they. Mine is a 1988 model 👍

@@ZakKol69 Mine was a 1984 model which I bought in 1989. The indicators were on a switch on top of the dashboard, it was the best ride quality of any car I've owned. Only had about 95hp but it flew along, I'm lucky they didn't have GATSO cameras back then lol.

Hahah your favourite aren’t they!

@@ZakKol69100% can’t beat em *goes on autotrader*

Yeah I like it too. Just got caught out by ordering the wrong part!

I think they do have an excellent range of bits
