1988 Citroen BX rd review from UK and Ireland
"Very good car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed all new spheres, not uncommon.
Needed new radius arm bearings, not uncommon.
General comments?
Well I treated this car like rubbish, its brilliant.
Easy to fix yourself despite what anybody says about the suspension.
Good powerful diesel engine and very reliable.
Practical estate well recommended.
Seats rather uncomfortable though, not for my back so I changed the interior for a gti one which is much better.
Very comfortable ride quality.
