1985 Citroen BX review from UK and Ireland
"Suspension on a shoestring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valves had to be changed... cost about £100.. apparently not bad, but quite expensive as a student... But I got a hire car so OK...
General comments?
This car cost me £200 from a French mate, so I can't complain... he got a company car...
I went to live in Portugal for a year and the fact it was left hand drive was a bonus. But it lasted me all that year and all I had to do was change the brakes once which cost me about 50 pence. Plus the diesel was 30p a litre. Damn, you can't complain. I wish I could go back to live there with my Xantia, only the wages are so crap... By all means get a BX if you want to - experience sublime suspension; if it goes wrong just get another, they are quite cheap now... Women love it...
