Exceeding BXpectations - Now With Added Renault 4

You'd think if they were going to struggle with anything on a BX it wouldn't be a clutch. Or did they not like doing clutches generally?

In fairness to M&M they weren't the worst, I presented them with a tricky problem and they said they hadn't seen a BX for years and therefore they couldn't be much help. I'm tempted to try them again at some point (now they've re-familiarised themselves with your BX) as any desire to do further serious jobs on my BX has completely evaporated over the last year or so and Manchester's Citroen specialists are seemingly all a bit strange.

Once I'd had that first MOT, the head mechanic never tired of telling me exactly what Bad News BXs were, and when he was a recovery driver how many of the 'f***** things' he'd brought home on a truck etc. blah. God alone knows what they did to that clutch, it was never right from day one. It was actually him that suggested I try M&M, I only wish he'd said that the first time he clapped eyes on the car.

 

But yeah, maybe give M&M another go? Since I became too lazy to fix it myself mine's become a regular visitor down there.
