Isn't that blue 128 one of Mr Bickle's?

A few autotrader bargains.

 

1991 Peugeot 205 D Turbo

 

These are a quick old car, This one needs some new spots and a indicator lens but is only £389.

 

1991 Nissan Sunny 1.6 GS

 

As boring as sin but for £299 with mot until October is still a cheap motor.

 

1989 Vauxhall Senator 2.5i CD

 

Shame about the dent on the wing as the rest looks quite tidy.

 

1984 Triumph Acclaim 1.3 HLS

 

Must be one of the last on a B plate.

 

1977 Mitsubishi Celeste

 

This one is stunning but better of in the ebay bargains thead at £4700!

[meggersdog]

I bet that old Bond was a hoot to drive in it's day.Coventry Climax engine in the back and one wheel up front.

The film is about the car why derivation in brand why brand that whether brand from early 1880s to present day consumerism where cheap is less than mediocrity

 

 

Oh, ok, that explains it.

 

I think he has edited it to make more sense. Giving in to the composers nightmare of banality and consumerism then ?

[Milford Cubicle]

Are BX and presumably 405 4x4s that bad? The BX has done 127k presumably without incident - that seems ok.If the 4x4 gubbins breaks is it driveable in FWD?

[Richard]

I think the concept is flawed. I can remember Vauxhall issuing a bulletin to Cavalier 4x4 owners that basically told them not to use 4WD.

[Milford Cubicle]

Is there a choice in the matter? I thought those cars had permanent 4x4.I guess you could manually disengage it by dropping the prop shaft.

[Cavcraft]

If the 4x4 system goes you're bollocksed basically and the chances of finding replacement parts aren't too clever. A bigger/faster engine would probably just rip the BX 4x4 to shreds so maybe if they're driven gently they're not so bad.Someone in BX circles is working on a replacement spline, will have to mail him and see how he's getting on. For some reason 405s seem better fared to cope with a 4wd system.The 4x4 fitted to Cavalier GSis was the stuff of nightmares and they fucked up if you have differing tread depths on the car so a puncture or one or two worn tyres meant replacement of all four. They could be run in 2WD I believe and lots were 'converted' that way.

[Mr Lobster]

Looks like this could be a big job to get it back on the road again...

[Milford Cubicle]

Why are they so shit? Are they just overly complex compared to the reliable Subaru AWD and Audi quattro systems?I read that the 405/BX system had been engineered by Steyr-Puch who are usually good at that kind of thing.

[Richard]

The BX and Cavalier try to drive the back wheels from a transverse engine, I've a feeling all the drive to the rear comes from one front driveshaft.

[Milford Cubicle]

Ah yeah, there's me forgetting that Audis and Subarus are naturally set up for sending drive to the rear.

 

Here's a transverse engined 4wd car that has a reliable 4wd system. I wub it.

405 is better than the BX. It's a weak transfer box that's the issue I believe.

I know that car, and Im sure seth and EL do too, it used to be parked near camden market.

Someones sorted the slightly crusty valance, its travelled quite a way south.

[CortinaDave]

If critically flawed cavalier 4x4's in particularly poor order are your thing.. how about this one

 

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vauxhall-Cavalier ... 27b0def6f2

 

The engine in this car was 2.0(seh) i have removed it, becouse i wanted to put 3.2 + super charged. There is no interior inside, allmost everything is removed from the inside, no fron pannel, no front seats

Nice work.

[Milford Cubicle]

The side profile shot has me wondering how many driven wheels it has.

Yup, I can still ecall the technical bulletins that were sent round about them and Calibras. Plus the Cav 4x4 had independent rear suspension that apparantly rusted like crazy.

I would quite like an old Reliant van, just for a lark, because they take up f-all space, and I could dribble to local shows in it. But you just know that you would spend all your time being told that it would be GR8 2 MAKE A TROTTER VAN, M8.

 

Wankers.

[trigger]

1986 Audi 80 1.6 CL

 

Looks tidy enough and with mot for £380

 

1989 Vauxhall Eagle Quest Hearse

 

I couldn't bring myself to scrap this vehicle last time around but now I really do need the space so it will scrap this week if it doesn't sell.

Scrap it then!

 

1984 Reliant Fox Electric car

 

NOT GR8 4 MOTORWAYS

 

1976 Humber Sceptre 1725

 

Looks like the one that got scrapped the other week.

Cant think any real reason why as the drivetrains of both were identical - the 405 even used the rear suspension of the bx lock stock and barrel.

[dollywobbler]

I think the 405 must have been beefed up because the Mi16 could be had with all-wheel drive. Try putting that much power through the BX system as you'll be going nowhere.

[Volksy]

Could the BX 16v not be had with four wheel drive?

[Cavcraft]

No, it would have ripped the four wheel drive system to bits!They did make a 4x4 GTi though (1.9 petrol 8V) and would expect they're very rare now.If anyone's feeling brave, rich, stupid or all three, apparantly there are one or two 4x4 BXs (estates I think) languishing behind a Citroen specialist near Chester.
