1988 Citroen AX GT review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch *3, Replacement Trans and engine, usual things such as brake pads, lines etc.
General comments?
I love these cars !
Don't expect it to stop too well on standard brake components. Interior can be a bit rattly as car gets older, this can be fixed with a small amount of effort. Quick to 60mph and great fun for throwing into corners. Not recommended if you spend all your time on the motorway at 90mph!
BTW the reason mines had so many expensive parts is because I drive it too hard, however second hand parts are dead cheap compared to some makes. Be warned if you want to put different alloys on, the wheels are three-stud fitting, this is quite rare. Pipercross aftermarket air filter recommended for making nice noises (and a bit quicker:), saves the need to replace the filter every service as well.
