1990 Citroen BX TGD review from UK and Ireland
"Great car at a low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New front hydraulic struts at 88,000.
Replaced radius rear arms at 88,000.
All 5 spheres replaced at 85,000.
Normal maintenance procedures have studiously replaced cam belt at 60,000 and 90,000.
General comments?
Comfortable, wonderful to drive.
Seriously economical 50mpg plus.
Cheap spares from Non Citroen dealers and scrap yards.
Can be picked up for very low prices as people are put off by hydraulic complexity scare stories.
Shape you either love or hate - the estate is very roomy indeed.
Very rarely see a rusty BX unless its collision damage.
