castros_bro Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 We're basically motoring Wombles, but not as cute. Possibly explains why I have nice dark green Turbot Sedan 306 hidden in a rented council garage. chaseracer and Partridge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matty Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Don't understand why some get so fucking angry about questions. He is only asking to get an idea of what might need doing to get it back to rude health. Not the end of the world and no one's been maimed or killed. Come on lads lighten up, it's only a forum...

95 quid Peugeot Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 Blimey. Calm down. It's a used ZX. It's never going to pristine resto as long as my arse points downwards. I'd put original post up to ask anyone wanted anything for free as it was most probably going to the bridge. I'd been quoted 144 scrap and if someone wanted complete car as engine and gearbox good I'd accept a sensible offer from here to at least save some of the bits becoming a fridge Scruffy Bodger, Matty, Partridge and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marm Toastsmith Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Well, would be nice if someone saved it. So I'm bumping the thread. I was going to ask if it had a towbar, but obvs that would sound like I'm taking the piss now... GLWTS bigfella2 and forddeliveryboy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

castros_bro Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thanks but not for me. Got offered a 205 diesel last night and collected at 6 this morning. BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partridge Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Just scrap it and get your money. If the alternative to selling here is facing Gumtree/Autotrader/eBay or the swiveled eyed lunatics who populate the Citroen Car Club, scrapping will be far easier. You've offered it for scrap money, nobody wanted it, so if anyone moans at you they can boil their head. sierraman and D Spares & Tyres 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partridge Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I'm quite impressed i've make it to the rank of swilled eyed loon, I feel I've finally achieved at life Not including you in that remark, Dean. You were very un-swiveled eyed when I met you, but all I will say is that the Citroen Car Club didn't exactly cover itself with glory on Facebook over that Xantia of mine.I offered it for free, and nobody wanted it, to the car club and on here. I even put out a post on its Facebook page saying anybody who wanted parts from it could come and help themselves.When it was still on my drive two weeks later (and still dead), I broke the news that it was with André Citroën in automotive innovation heaven, and pitchforks were drawn. To be honest the BLARG scene is just as bad, and don't even start me Rover 800 mouth foamers on AROnline. And that's why I tend to just scrap worthless cars rather than re-home them these days. Does it make me bitter? Yes. Does it make my life easier? Yes. I just don't think me and Citroens (and the Citroen community) mix. It's a shame because I actually really like the cars, especially 90s stuff like the XM, Xantia and ZX. Anyway, I'm glad the ZX is saved.

dean36014 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 No offence taken lol. To be fair I've found that the same in most car clubs. For some people words are easier than actions. I'd have loved this myself but I'm already up to 6 bloody Citroens and no more room at the inn. Great news it's going to be saved though.

D Spares & Tyres Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Im glad I didn't drive it home. After being stood, the battery was dead. Luckily I bought another with me. It wouldn't run for long though, it is sucking in air from somewhere. No big deal though. It also did that wonderful thing that cold ZXs do, where you open the door but the latch sticks and it won't close again. But on the bright side, it looks a straight old thing. Loads of life left in it. Oh and I fixed the sunroof issue you mentioned. I pressed the button and it went down... Happy customer, despite the 400 mile round trip.
