1987 Citroen BX 17RD review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gearbox gave up at 25,000 miles, and Citroen (after a struggle) agreed to pay half. I told them I had had a Ford Granada and done 96,000 miles in it before the gearbox went. I was not pleased.
There have also been various fluid leeaks from the hydraulic suspension which have proved costly.
The interior headlining very quickly developed a spotty appearence (mold?). I bought the car new and it has currently done approx 150,000 miles.
General comments?
I would not buy another Citroen.
