1987 Citroen BX 14E Leader review from UK and Ireland
"A cheap and nasty run about"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Intermittent fault that no one could diagnose.
Engine mounts.
Lots of electrical faults.
General comments?
Handled way better than it looked. It's a shame that it was so short on power. The GTI version might be interesting.
