Hi
I have noticed that my rear brake pads rattle while driving my Bagheera. The anti-rattle clips are missing on the rear brakes, and I am not sure which type I need, but I got some clues in a Murean thread from 2009, by Oetker. I have attached a copy of a picture from the Murena thread, and a couple of pictures from parts found on auto-doc. Can any of you verify which type of clips are the correct for the rear brakes on a Bagheera? The small ones seen on the picture of the Murena rear brakes, or the other ones? Or do I need some third type of anti-rattle clips? Best regards Frederik |

The BX4TC used a modified turbo charged N9T engine, my focus is to keep the engine naturally aspirated, so we should not confuse turbocharged power with NA power.

If im not mistaken, Citroën also made well over 300hp in their rally version of the bx 4tc with this same engine.

Politecnic.com has the Talbot 2.2 engines with different power output: 118, 142, 153 and 184 HP, (not available at the moment) consequently it should be possible for you to reach 180 + HP on your engine.
For the turbo version af the Talbot 2.2 engine there is a lot of potential. Peugeot chose this engine for the 505 Turbo Injection as they saw a tuning potential in that engine, which their own 2.2 engine used in the 505 GTI did not have. I have learned from a specialist in this engines that 230 HK is possible with standard internals. Peugeot raced the 505 Turbo and the tuning company Danielson reached up to 575 HP from that engine. Keep on racing Hans |

We've talked about the potential of the 2.2 engine.... the Murena was always a car balanced between comfort and sport, and the 2.2 originally seemed to strike a balance in the light car despite being tuned for a limousine. It was known as as an engine that would have much more potential and Matra made the S-kit and later finished production with the S.
But we know from BMW's almost identical engine (the M10, on which Chryslers engine was based) that there's much more potential in the engine in turbo or NA form. You target 90 bhp per litre resulting in a little less than 200 bhp if you keep the stroke and bore of the original engine. Compared to the usually less than 140 delivered by the S's, that's seems an ambitious target, but is that the right target for a driveable 2.2-engine in the Murena - one that would strike a balance? You know I have an engine project for myself waiting on my when I've completed my restoration. I've gone partway with a souped head. I just hope we can get some ideas... I know there are different philosophies and I repect that people often like to keep their targets for themselves, but I'd like to try  |

Happy 2026!
It's time to share a little progress. I have started the year doing glass fibre work. It's rather cold here now, so I can't really work in my garage, but I have a small electrical heater in my workshop and that's reasonably well insulated, so I can do work there. I removed the left hand rear fender years ago and found it had at some time in its life been reglued with polyester, instead of the PU glue which they used on the factory and the workshop manual instructs. The polyester work was done well, though, so getting it off has involved quite a bit of cutting and sanding work. I'm now done and the panel is ready for the repairs it needs. While I have had the car, the panel has cracked behind and above the wheel arch - probably from a hit from another car while it was parked. It's a fairly easy repair which I will be doing with epoxy, adding a layer or two of fibre on the back and flushing out to fill the cracks on the front. |

I have received this email from a Willem Toose in Portugal. Normally I ask people to join the forum for this, but I think this is a special case. |
