When I get the Visa Diesel MOTed that is not in storage you must have a drive, it will ruin your life and you will have to take me back to France to bring back a Visa Diesel for yourself!

I had a 17RD (? - the four speed one anyway) and loved it;  I'd have another but the boss would insist on the M5 going, and the scream of the dohc six blasting away from a roundabout beats leaving a mimser in a cloud of XUD goodness.  Mine went when its ice skating skills weren't good enough one freezing night and was replaced with a BX19dtr, and I'm not allowed one of those either

Excuse me if I have an anorak moment but I could not resist this lead in!

 

The way to easily tell a Visa 17D from an 17RD is the RD has plastic protector trims on the doors and rear wings.

 

Visa Diesels 17D or 17RD came with a 4 speed gearboxes as standard and the 5 speed was an option on 17RD which cost £174.42. I never saw the point of the 5 Speed gearbox it lowered the overall gearing from 22.4 mph/1000 rpm to 21.6 mph/1000 rpm. 5 speeds improved the 0-62 time by 0.3 of a sec from 15.9 to 15.6. It also added 2 mph to the top speed to get it to 96mph but you could not tell on the road. The 5 speed gearbox knocked a couple of mpg off and you had to change gear more often because you run out of revs. Max power 4200 rpm.

 

I think a Visa is a perfect partner for a M5, when I ran my 17 mpg Range Rover as an every day car the Visa was an antidote and gave me a fleet average of 33.5 mpg!

Making an offer certainly doesn't cost anything. They may just want rid.

By the way, Ebay now thinks I want to but another Shitröen. As if boiling my Saxo dry wasn't bad enough - I mean there's more water on the Moon than there was in that car when I finally parked up!

 

How about this stunner project deathtrap hearse. At least you won't be afraid of no ghosts...

My mechanical skills are on par with those of a jellyfish with a spot of tentacle rot, A Visa is beyond my pay grade, so trying to fix a CX would be like explaining calculus to a dog. A stupid dog at

[Youngsod]

...that. Not a smart one like a border collie.

 

I fear I have proved my own point by hitting the post button too early. Would you trust me to fix your brakes?

 

Going to try to have a look at it this weekend, toddler permitting.

Your skills must be really bad if your getting a toddler to look it over for you

From experience all those years ago, having a small fingered toddler to work on a Visa would be an advantage! I drove without a speedo for a year because I couldn't get the drive cable back in the gear box. But being the honest type I clocked it forward.

swop toddlur fur visa m12?

[Six-cylinder]

is it possible to whang a 1.9 td in one? and did they do a 3 door?

Fitting a 1.9 Turbo Diesel complete with intercooler is my dream, 60 bhp all the way upto 92 bhp! I don’t know if it is possible but they look the same. The Peugeot 205 Turbo Diesel (78 bhp) is 1769 cc turbo but no intercooler and I always understood the Visa Diesel and GTi use the 205 front subframes, so this seems a likely fit.

 

The Visa was built as a development of the Peugeot 104 5 door and as such had no 3 door however Citroen also produced the LN/LNA based on the 104 3 door but looked nothing like a Visa. The model Citroen had designed to be the Visa but was rejected by the new PSA masters was sold to a Romanian group and produced as the Oltcit Club and Citroen Axel, this looked a bit like a 3 door Visa but shared no body or mech parts.

 

This is a great thread for me, at last I can witter on about Visas and stay on subject!

Surely not, do I not have an egger and enthusiastic audience awaiting the next episode!

 

Well I can't wait to see if Youngsod views the white Visa and gives his report.

[hairnet]

youngsod you haz pm

[hairnet]

If you're perverted enough to think buying a Visa is the answer to anything, perhaps you should speak to one of the other Visa lickers first- Sixcylinder would be a good start, I should imagine everybody in the country trying to rid themselves of this menace would try him first. He's bound to know of a better/ cheaper one than this.

he does

 

and so do i

[explosive-cabbage]

''Stop me?''

 

Isn't the price enough to stop you?

[Asimo]

and did they do a 3 door?

Sort of

[hairnet]

lmao - non double doors shocker

[HillmanImp]

Going to drive mine for the first time in 6 months tomorrow if the brakes ain't seized. Well excited.

 

Just need the missus to go back to work so I can afford to pay someone to change the clutch. Sadly she has now decided that she isn't going back until the baby is a year old now. Hope nobody buys the house whose garage its currently stored in.

Have you been to see the 17D?

 

If that was not to your liking how about this one!

http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C696322#

[Youngsod]

Well I did go to see it, and let’s just say it would take someone with a lot more skill than me to get it back on the road. I expected that it was going to be frillier than an Victorian spinster’s drawing room, but it wasn’t. Not with the amount of filler it was lugging about on the doors and wings. I tried to open the hatch to find only one hinge was attached, so rapidly shut it. If it had been mechanical issues only I might have given it a go, but the bodywork was way beyond me or any skills I’m likely to ever attain.

 

It’s not all bad, just not for me, and he did say he was open to offers if anyone else is interested. Apparently these make six grand in good nick. To paraphrase someone of this parish, that’s only six grand worth if the boot is full of drugs.

 

Thanks for all the encouragement and offers of help, and Six-cylinder you can witter on about Visas as much as you like!

Actually, I thought I'd set my sights a little higher

http://blackflag.jalopnik.com/when-citroen-got-lotus-to-turn-their-visa-hatchback-in-1749988631

[trigger]

We used to run a fleet of C15 vans at the motor factors I worked at back in 2003-2004ish.

 

 

They used to do stupid mileages, the only way they would die would be when someone crashed one, which was quite often, mechanically they were the strongest things on the road but the bodywork was rubbish with bits keep falling of them all the time.

 

I done a DVLA check on one of the vans and you can see what I mean about the mileage!

 

[dollywobbler]

Six grand? I call horseshit on that! Frankly, I'd be amazed if any Visas have changed hands for much over a grand.

Well except a Visa GTi, I like to buy a decent running one for £1000.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Six grand LOL! why not aim higher, he should have said 150 grand.
