Citroen BX TXD Turbo £400

[Minimad5]

Good Evening all.

Selling ex dollywobbler and Gareth-J Citroen BX.
I will upload pictures a little later, but first i will bore you with the details.

1.7 XUD Turbo, this has a Lucas pump - So not Veg friendly.
Has had all new spheres, which are still within the three year warranty.
New N/s driveshaft
Serviced a good few times, as i have clocked up rather a lot of miles in the old girl.
Tax 30/9/14
MOT */8/14  - This i have to check

The not so good bits:
Small LHM dribble at the front (was like this when Dollywobber and gareth owned it, has got no worse, and if i get time will sort it out - Part is in boot)

Small amount of bubbling on the O/s rear door and the usual Minimad5 Motor lacquer peel on bonnet.

It starts, drives and stops as it should

Looking for £500* or very near offer (No swaps, as found a car i really want local, so this has to go)

Location: Wirral
Will deliver for cost of Diesel and return train ticket, if you are not too far away.

Thanks

Was a nice motor this. Was a bit shite when I got it (needed rear arm bearings which it had in my ownership), but I sorted it out and then stupidly sold it because I wanted a tow bar. Presumably it's still got the Chinese remote central locking kit I fitted to it?

Glad you got all the work done, as it drives great, even better with the new spheres may i add.

Yep still got the remote central locking.

[dollywobbler]

Incidentally, the roof bars in the original ad are still available if anyone wants them. They're no good for the estate.

I can confirm that the pedal box and injection pump are working on this BX. 

Even though I drove it and it used to belong to Wollydobbler. 

[dugong]

I HAVE NO PHOTOS OF THIS CAR

Any MOT/Tax details?

[ruffgeezer]

DollyWobs, I think the boss might have a pair of estate roof bars at work should you ever decide you want some.

So you've killed it then?

 

I used this for a few weeks and it drove spot on.

Yes sorry !

Just re-taxed it for 6 months so end of september.

Mot August (Have to check this, but 90% sure it is) ... will ammend original ad

Did it have any fuel left in the tank when you gave it back?

Anyway ! bringing the thread back to the intended purpose.
I left work today, and upon leaving the last speed bump heard a knock from the front N/s, i shall be investigating what the noise is tomorrow, but if i don't get it sorted in the mean time, price shall be greatly reduced.

Will update tomorrow with findings.

[dollywobbler]

ARB drop link would be my first port of call. Cheap fix but they often cause knocking noises.

[Minimad5]

Thanks for the heads up Ian !
I changed both Track Rod Ends today, and the knock is still present.
I shall try the ARB drop links (if it doesn't sell beforehand)

Up for £400 with knock, back to £500 if i get it sorted.

[Minimad5]

Quick update, this may be sold pending pennies changing hands.

[Cavcraft]

Did it definitely pass the MOT?

It did in the Channel Islands. FO' SHO (not Yamaha, Taurus L@@K)

[Minimad5]

Payment received.
Thanks for interest chaps.

[HMC]

From me!

[dollywobbler]

Nice one. If you need roof rails, I have a pair that I used on it once.

[scooters]

Well bought superb car

[Minimad5]

From me!

I noticed today, while hosing bird crap etc off, that the rear wiper is 'foobared'

So i bought one today and popped it in the boot, I’ll let you fit it.
