Citroën BX – XPO – Becoming Driveable – Eps43
The pace was picking up at the start of 2024, and XPO seemed to be becoming driveable. It just needed a cooling system and drive shafts—or perhaps a bit more?
Here you’ll find automotive adventure articles on my Citroen BX. Love them or hate them, I’m stuck with them. From the first car that would barely start to my current Citroen BX16Valve, I’ve learnt a lot about cars and mechanics. I’ve had to!
The pace was picking up at the start of 2024, and XPO seemed to be becoming driveable. It just needed a cooling system and drive shafts—or perhaps a bit more?
After 15 years of standing, XPO finally has a running engine. But how leaky are the hydraulics after all these years?
Almost a year ago today, the engine installation on XPO was completed. In this article, we take a look at how the installation was achieved.
In a slight segway from getting the engine running in XPO, this article looks at some of the smaller welding repairs that have been completed.
Only a few years after starting, the 16v gearbox was overhauled and bolted back onto the engine, ready for installation.

The Citroen BX 16v Bumper Bracket is next on the list of parts to be reproduced to get XPO back on the road.Will it be bang or bust?
Despite the many I’ve joined in the past, Drive It Day 2024 was a fantastic day out with friends from 2CV GB in the Peak District.
Before the engine goes back in, this seemed like the right time to replace fuel pipes and recommision the fuel system.
It won’t be long before the engine goes back in, so engine bay preparation of areas that won’t soon be accessible seems sensible.
