It’s for sale!

No need to say sorry to me. I don’t drive a transit 😂

Normally 1 hours extra labour ontop of a regular oil change service

@@ZakKol69 thank you 👍

Putting a chain on would be a difficult job unless you’re some form of engineering marvel

Hi! I’m based in Rochdale , greater Manchester

Think it’s for noise and emissions. When these engines work, they’re so smooth, quiet and powerful. Amazing vans to drive compared to all their competitors. But yeah I think vehciles being serviced incorrectly and too long between oil chances is the main problem

Good luck matey! Will be awesome!

​@ZakKol69 Question brother, I see the front Strut comes with the blue dust Bellow, but did you have to buy the small Styrofoam looking bump stopper to put on top of the Strut as well? Like the one that goes on top of the rear Shock Absorber?

@@steveninverse9579 they come on the standard shocks. So if yours are missing they shouldn’t be.

Install was seamless. Did a lot of other work. Changed control arms, tie rods, axles, bearings. Everything man. Only hiccup I had, exactly like you said, everything in my kit should be there and it wasn't. Turns out the person I bought it from sold me the wrong one. They sent me the PSS 14 for the MK7's and ghosted me. People are assholes. Anyway, got the right one and wrapped up the job yesterday afternoon. Alignment on Mon then I can not wait to see what the car drives like. 225K miles and everything was original, all completely worn out

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!

My pal at SV performance in Cardiff will do this for you!

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 TH-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 TH-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!!

An extra 1 hour ontop of the oil change 👍
