1995 Citroen AX Elation review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap, quick nippy motor"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fag Lighter Fault.
Speedo Needle sticks.
Rattles everywhere typical Citroen. Found most of them now thought.
2 New CV Boots. New front pads and discs on front due to leaking grease from the CV Boot.
Cam belt @ 55,000.
Gear box is a bit noisy in 3rd.
Annoying vibration in the door.
New instrument bulbs, they go regularly and it's a pain getting out the instrument panel.
General comments?
Good cheap car, but when they get older and do more miles problems start occurring. Good for a 100mph, I've also had 97mph with 5 passengers which in not bad for a 954cc, however the brakes don't work well with 5 up.
Rattle like hell, handles like a dog, through any corner you must expect the body roll.
Not many performance parts for AX's available.
Not bad for 1.0, cheap and goes well when pushed.
