richardmorris Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 C matic for added 'shite points.........Oh god! Do you know what you’re getting into? I’m not being a franco killjoy, as someone who’d have a rust free cx as a daily car tomorrow, but is the gearbox oil still available? Edit - my first car was a 2cv, my second a (manual) CX Pallas. How’s that for a culture leap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I think Total T is still available from the Citroën car club. I wasn't a huge fan of the C-matic to be honest, but it definitely adds an extra je ne sais quoi to what is already a fascinating vehicle. Excellent purchase!

Rocket88 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 It is.......and there's a green fluid pervert lurking in Maidstone, just up the road from me where I can get it fettled, if need be.First thing it's going to get is comprehensive rust treatment.......... richardmorris, forddeliveryboy and Jim Bell 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardmorris Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Great then, enjoy the experience! I did have a few spares left, but managed to give them away at last year’s GSA rally. If you’re new to CXs watch out for a leaky de-aeration chamber ( black bottle thing next to the reservoir). It was £4.50 last time I bought one, but I doubt citron sell them now. I don’t think that year has a problem with oil pressure switches but they’re not a bad glove box spare for £5.And if the heater fan stops working it’s either the resistor pack in the air intake trunking or a break in the wires under the central console below the aircraft style levers.Good luck, I’m envious!
