1987 Citroen BX 19rd review from UK and Ireland
"Budget motoring for cheapwads"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Was given this from a mate who has a scrapyard, it looked too good to die. it was an estate, with blown head gasket. had the head skimmed and had a years trouble free motoring.
General comments?
Suspension was a bit hard towards the end, was told it needed new spheres, but what a cheap car to own! it never failed to start instantly, did 55-60 mpg and had good acceleration too. could carry anything and handled well, seats were the best I have ever sat on. it broke my heart when it failed the next MOT, the rear trailing arm on one side was knackered, would have cost £900 to fix.
