Suspension pipes corroded. Clutch arm snapped off.
Boot lock failed. Head gasket blew. Suspension belt snapped.
I should have known from the high milage and Citroen reputation for complexity that the BX would be a mistake. However, I was lured in by the superb ride, comfortable interior and distinctive looks.
Over time the car became too much of a liability and soon went to drive on the great motorway in the sky. Since then I have stuck to cars with ordinary suspension and it would take a big lump of cash to change my mind.
Should have kept it, no need to scrap a good car. Yeah the different suspension is better.
OR reviewer here again (a bit late but...) :
Trust me, it wasn't worth keeping it going. The interior had developed mould due to the car being left standing whilst I figured out how to fix the clutch release arm and the engine dieseled badly when switched off. The doors were getting very rusty too. I never could get the fiddly integrated washer/wiper jets to spray properly either.
Given the condition of the car it just wasn't worth spending money on a reconditoned engine etc. It would have just been throwing good money after bad.
Had it been something worth saving like a BX GTi or something, then who knows?
