Kiltox Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Yeah, I'd never seem one in real life so thought it was worth mentioning. A useless french feature that never caught on.It did catch on - most of the vehicles I own have an oil level indicator, it’s just a digital gauge now. Good luck with the collection!!!

It's all big sturdy stuff. 20190307_110937.jpgOdd that they included a button for ‘halp, im in rowing boat and about to crash into a buoy’.

Jim Bell Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 During this collection trip the poo count was very much like the gear changes on the way home. 1st to 4th happened a bit fast and hectic, but once I got to forth I felt comfortable and settled down. I did try and find reverse at one point as there was no toilet paper on the Cross Country train. Not easy to do in a panic. mercedade, Supernaut, Uncle Jimmy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 So it's a less than one litre Citroen AX originally from late last century, but more recently it was from eBay. Seller mentioned new oil,oil filter, fuel filter,air filter,spark plugs,HT leads,ignition coil,windscreen wiper and replaced the Cam belt, the rear brakes. From what I could see, that all seemed probable. No receipts or history though. Oil looks brand new to me. Had a chat to the seller. A nice lad who's had 15 AX'S and he showed me round the car ,(I also pointed him toward Autoshite and asked him if he thought that Cavcraft should step down. He said no.) He's welded behind the headlights (TARTS).And fitted VAUXHALL ASTRA sound deadening to add a bit of quiet. cms206, Schaefft, Burnside and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 There doesn't seem to be any other rust, but I may be looking in incorrect places. It's got a few dents, a few scratches but seems pretty straight. Tamworthbay, Split_Pin, Shep Shepherd and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
