The Citroën BX, a compact executive car produced by the French automaker Citroën from 1983 to 1993, was a pioneering model that blended innovative design with advanced technology. Its sleek, aerodynamic profile, with its signature "shark nose" front end and flush-fitting door handles, was a departure from the boxy shapes prevalent in the market at the time. The BX's innovative features included a unique hydro-pneumatic suspension system, derived from the larger CX model, which provided exceptional ride comfort and handling, as well as a self-levelling system that kept the car at a constant height regardless of load. The BX also boasted a remarkably spacious interior for its size, with a large hatchback and a versatile rear seat that could be folded flat for increased cargo space.

The 1986 BX, specifically, marked a significant year for the model, seeing the introduction of a new 1.9-litre diesel engine, further enhancing the BX's reputation for fuel efficiency and practicality. This engine, combined with the BX's lightweight construction and aerodynamic design, resulted in impressive fuel economy, making it a popular choice for drivers seeking a practical and cost-effective car. However, the BX's complexity, particularly its intricate hydraulic systems, was often cited as a downside, leading to potentially costly repairs and requiring specialized knowledge to maintain. The All Service Repair Manual, a comprehensive guide designed for both professional mechanics and dedicated DIY enthusiasts, provided the necessary information to navigate the intricacies of the BX's mechanics, ensuring that owners could keep their cars running smoothly and efficiently.
