Offside drop-link.
Handbrake cable replaced.
Head gasket leak fixed with a liquid fiber product added to radiator without the need to drain down. Be careful that you check product compatibility with anti-freeze. Read the instructions yourself. Do not take the advice of salespeople unless you know them well. The wrong product can cause serious damage to your cooling system and engine.
Snagged accelerator cable released and adjusted.
ABS instrumentation light showing caused by dust in sensor.
The paintwork is almost spotless with a couple of inconspicuous rust bumps on the rear wheel arches, concealed by the doors. There's also a few cosmetic rust blemishes to the front of the sunroof.
The sunroof is a few millimeters low at rear edge causing partial leakage. This can be easily adjusted by removing the interior cover and manually adjusting it. Sunroof is a little noisy in operation. The runners needing cleaning and lubrication.
TIP: For an effective temporary seal to a leaking sunroof, raise the roof and run a generous coating of petroleum jelly around the neoprene on the outer edge to expand it.
Exhaust down-pipe needing replacement.
Both front tires desperately needing replacement. Cage supporting spare having to be cut free as heavily corroded onto bracket.

Battery old and defective.
MOT and Tax just expired before purchase. Always worth running car through the MOT test to realize immediate faults.
I paid just £50 for this, my 4th BX, a
beautiful black top-of-the-range Turbo-Diesel.
It has had two previous non-smoking owners, the second for the past 10 years.
A tow bar is fitted with single electrics.
The car has the velor interior and is spotless throughout. All upholstery and carpeting in tact with no signs of wear to any part.
The front lights are fitted with lens protection visors.
