Nor, apprently, do most people (including the seller, although it looks like he's now been put right). The bidding seems to be climbing rapidly into GTti territory.

Spottedlaurel Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Camry looks surprisingly good Wuvvum, would be handy for winter and no immediate issues hopefully with that new MoT.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I AM STRONGBecause i resisted bidding for that one-owner 15,000-mile Seat Ibiza, and allowed someone else to buy it for £60. I did it by thinking over and over again about my Integra, Alfa 33, Maz Hardtop and Sigma rustwagon all sitting gently corroding because I have not got time to fix everything up at once.MIND OVER MATTER!!!!PS the Integra is hitting the workshop next week for a frenzy of MOT fettling and attachment of various eBay-sourced new components.

Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 That BX is lovely, i'd have a dabble but £400 is a bit much for me, if the clutch is buggered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseflakes Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Oh, yes, I forgot about the clutch in all the excitement. That makes it quite expensive. Low miles to be wearing a clutch out - perhaps the second owner had a lazy left foot?Are these cable-operated? Might just be in need of adjustment if so. I've seen more than one R12 where that was all that was required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuvvum Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 They are cable-operated, and I've seen a BX with a slipping clutch in the past that was cured by a cable adjustment. Otherwise £400 is way too much - clutches are a bloody awkward job on BX's at the best of times, and I suspect that this one being a 4x4 will make it even worse.

nigel bickle Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 My BX 4by4 gti is off the road precisely because of the slipping clutch. its a HUGE job -I couldnt get any clutch clinic to quote at all -and a Citroen garage estimated at £1100 -5 years ago! We put it on a ramp (my tame mechanic &I) and it looks like the car was built around the gearbox. Truly scary -so I 'barned it' -until the gonads grow!Prob find the exhaust is going or patched to -unobtainium! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I would be up for doing the clutch on that blue one, quite fancy an epic repair challenge like that, but I'm not paying £400 for the privilege! PLus how do you get it home? can't a-frame or dolly one of those. Actually, maybe you could if you left the engine ticking over to keep the suspension inflated.

Volksy Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I did a clutch on a 405GL 4x4 years ago, was a long but not especially bad job, The gearbox fits in the usual place, with the transfer box running along the back of the engine. I took the transfer box off first, I remember one especially bad bolt that was inbetween the engine and the transfer box that needed a mad combination of extentions to get to. then it was just the same as doing a normal clutch, as i was working blind, having never dealt with one before it took quite a while. Although I fear the BX may be worse with all the hydralic jiggery pokery surrounding the box.Funnily enough the 405 gained the BX's entire rear suspension inc the hydralic system, giving it a bizarre saggy arsed look when parked up. Think that the diff lock/4x4 system was hydralically activated too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 That's pretty nasty! Doesn't look too bad to start, but then you start noticing the details, rubbish wheels, Lotus badging, colourcoding etc. The handling by Lotus version is by no means mega-rare either (in Piazza terms). That has annoyed me so much I'm going to post a brochure scan: I'd love to have a Piazza one day, utterly stock too. That'll show em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Me too! In fact I have had one but it was a bag of ass, meaning I should get another better one to give a better long-term impresson in my mind. I love the styling of em.

I'd wager you could gnosh about 20k a year onto one without any bother whatsoever.Word. We've had four 323's and they've all been ultra reliable. One of them went 35k without so much as a service or oil change and still never broke down. They never seem to really rust much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately most of them look like that these days My Nova displays an impressively low mileage too. But as I suspect is the case here, that’s simply because the odometer has only 5 digits. 40,000 claimed miles on an L reg diesel van my arse EDIT: The alleged GSi dash is standard across the facelift range and the instrument binnacle was standard fitment to turbo diesels (amongst others).

pogweasel Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Crap that van may be to look at, but those Nova vans lick along at a fair old pace. I reckon that if you stripped all the barry dross off it and flogged it to minimum-wage ugly mongs on eBay you'd prolly get the purchase price of the vehicle back. Nova builders' van, souperb.
