Radiator blew up-faulty fan.
Ball joint and CV joint at same time.
Ignition module.
Squeaky brakes.
Starter motor.
That's it!
It was my first car. I was 17 and it seemed better than Nova's etc. And it was. Very well equipped for a base spec, quite quick for the engine size. Magic carpet ride, very comfortable, cheap to run.
The list goes on! Its gonna be a classic one day. I'd recommend one to anybody-I'm getting a GTi16Valve version hopefully.
Very very underrated car with bags of potential. Only real problem was the colour-beige with a brown interior! can't work out why someone would buy that brand new! avoid them-the blues and reds are nicer and worth more when selling. But lovely car and well worth £375.
Smoother than a Merceredes? I think not. I have owned in the Past a BX1.9D and have since owned a few Mercedes. The BX may have a better ride than the A Class (what car doesn't) but my 300TE is just superb. The problem with BXs is the complex suspension. If not kept on top of it just keeps going wrong, and costs a lot. The build quality was rubbish and the seats diabolical, but the chassis was OK. Comparing Citroen BX to a Mercedes is not really fair. One is just a French car, the other an engineering masterpiece!
