1988 Citroen BX review from UK and Ireland
"It was a ideal car for a car crusher."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Steering rack broke in 1999.
Alternator broke in 1999.
Hydraulic suspension completely destroyed in 1998.
Electric windows wouldn't work in 1997.
Radio was terrible always.
Radiator overheated in 1996.
General comments?
It was a okay car in the beginning, but as the years went on, more problems occured. It was a 1.9 diesel, no turbo, so it only could do 70mph flat out. It was a ideal car for a car crusher.
