Top chap! Oh and the other scotoshiters aren't too shabby either! davidfowler2000, 320touring and aldo135 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Morose Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Bit undecided really but I think it'll have to go as soon as the CX is fettled to my satisfaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 I could be interested as a WBoD, I ran it through one winter and it had a toasty heater IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Morose Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 And it's broken. Had the front tyres changed as the inner treads on both fronts were scrubbed down to below minimum (tracking on the list of jobs to do, it's toeing out a fair bit instead of toeing in a little bit). After that, every now and again a loud speed related crack is heard from the passenger side roughly down by the transmission tunnel (if it was one) sounds as though a balance weight was catching but apparently not so further investigation will have to ensue when I finish work in a few weeks. Oh, and it's now decided to run hot for no reason. Hello Citroen ownership! Still love it though. Even if it's on the naughty step. davidfowler2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspector Morose Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Horrendous noise traced to displaced handbrake cable hitting the driveshaft (don't forget folks - front handbrake on these) makes a hell of a racket! Temporarily fixed in true Autoshite tradition by clicking the handbrake a notch (needs adjusting so plenty of slack). Will be fixed proper like when I finish work.Still runs a tad warm though so a flush and thermostat will be imminent along with a tracking session and a good checking over not that there's a lot to do as it had a thorough going over by Graeme (j-j of his parish and CX bod extrodinare) 320touring and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
