barrett Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Nobody wanted my £75 Xant so you might be waiting a while. £300 looks a bargain for something so clean and I'm sure the right person is out there for it. Is there a ZX Facebook group or anything? That seems to be a pretty good way of shifting things. Otherwise carandclassic is a bit better than ebay and doesnt cost anything...

richbraith Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Really surprised no one wants this, looks like a great little car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean36014 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 They are great little cars, mine has become my daily driver and gave me the kick up the arse to get rid of the grand punto. They are reasonably rust resistant, parts are peanuts, comfy to drive. Just unfortunately unless they are a 3 door, estate or a volcane they have little following. Bang it up for a raffle, if you manage to sell it before the roffle sells out just pull the roffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Okay. Maybe a raffle is best, I'm quite keen that it stays in known hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Share Posted October 25, 2016 One more try. I will let someone on here have this wonderful machine for £250. Its on Facebook for £325 but £250 gets it. Go on. I know I've probably lowered the price too much now but I NEED the space more than anything. You'll even get a lift from Reading station in another ZX. What's stopping you?

egg Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 £4.50 raffle tickets? Nothing's selling here at the moment. I'll take 2 tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted October 29, 2016 Author Share Posted October 29, 2016 Fuck it, it's on eBay now. I was meant to be getting a visit from somebody today who was very interested in it, but they then went quiet when asked about it yesterday, so whatever. I just need it gone.

23rdian Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Bump. I think this is awesome. You would have £250 in your hand now if I had the space but guess what I don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 It went on eBay last night for £185. Madness. Oh well, I'd rather the knowledge its with someone who will look after it. Anyway, this happened: 1990 Citroen BX14 RE. by Sam Osbon, on Flickr I got a BX. Much more fun to drive. And amazingly, half the cost on insurance.... First impressions are that it needs a tidy up but drives super well. I don't think I've had a car with such a good clutch?!

bramz7 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Potentially going to raffle the green ZX. How does £2 a ticket sound? 60 tickets in all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I'd be very wary about only having a BX to get you around. I'd hang on to the ZX as back up for when it inevitably shits a load of LHM over your drive or spontaneously combusts or whatever Sigmund Fraud, Braddon81 and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Well as much as I'd love to keep the zx I can't at the place I'm moving to and I cannot afford a lock up or anything so it has to go.Diesel ZX by the way! It's the best car I've owned. I move in a week so it has to go, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 And the reason for the low raffle is that it hasn't cost me a penny in the months I've owned it, plus I really want it to go to someone on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For absolute reliability*, also keep a couple of strut return pipes in the glovebox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Similar advice applies to the XM then? Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk If a strut return snaps, it's hardly the end of the world. I always had a 1 litre bottle of LHM in all of my hydraulic Citroens, but only one of them ever sprang a mahoosive leak - and it still drove ok (I doubt I would have got much further than the mile I drive it to be fair). Main reason to carry a bottle of LHM is you never know where you'll be able to buy another bottle these days. Seriously, these Citroens have rather bigger worries than the hydraulics. French electrics for the most part. BX looks a good buy. I do like Olympic Blue, and the 1400 petrol is a fun, perky little motor. Not really geared for a comfortable motorway cruise sadly.

bramz7 Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Yeah motorway cruising is pretty loud but the lack of rev counter means I can pretend it's fine.It's certainly faster feeling than the 1.4 zx I had with the same engine. I don't think any overly testing journeys are planned soon however, but Southsea to Reading was fine. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
