1989 Citroen BX RS Pilot review from Australia and New Zealand
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition lock wore out at 100K miles.
Suspension spheres replaced 103K.
Stalling on cold starts until carburettor adjusted.
High oil consumption.
Rattles & squeaks!
General comments?
A well loved car, owned from new.
Exported to New Zealand with us...it's now an exotic foreign car!
Fun, comfortable family transport. No major problems, all is well at 110K miles.
Recently we considered getting a new car...but couldn't bear to part with it.
