Full story then:

Last month when I had a text off of Dave (CND Isle of white division) Asking did I want to buy a Citroen AX with a months MOT for £175? It had been offered to him by a mate who runs a local body repair / sprayshop.

Two owners from new and one family based on the Island. Dave had a a quick test drive, Reconed it drove ok, save for a clicking CV joint. it was dirty inside, with some bodywork issues but otherwise looked pretty solid.

Heres the pictures I received:

Seemed a fairly safe bet so Dave bought it!

There was a Lose plan was to get it MOT'd again on the Island and then bring it over to the mainland were I could use it as a runabout... I also think I may Drive it to Paris.

Dave had a bit of a poke round it and came up with a list of jobs that would be worth doing:

  • Replacing the wing mirror held together withn duct tape.
  • theres a small hole in the passenger door sill (sort of hidden by the door seal)
  • Threaded inserts for the boot catch are loose and need re-epoxying as they looked like you could pull on the boot and leave the catch behind!
  • Theres a leak from the rocker cover gasket / rocker bolts.
  • Something large rolls around inside on the NSF tyre and makes a funny noise...
  • one tail light is quite cracked.
  • Driveshaft definately wants replacing
  • speedo cable did not work
  • some dead bulbs in the dash
