New member with a BX txd
Hello all, just thought id introduce myself and my BX, been searching for a bargain turbo diesel BX since last December when i sold my faithful TZD, 22000 miles in 17 months, i had to sell it to put funds together to buy a 7 seat brat carrier!! But i yearned for another BX. About a month ago my friend said he'd bought a BX Diesel saloon with no MOT, i managed to get it off him in exchange for a nasty maroon Nova, me thinks i got the better deal. After a good half hour checking the BX over i found it wanted a CV boot and a small welding repair where the rear exhaust box hangs. I am now enjoying this car very much, Metallic dark grey TXD 1.7 its done 130000 miles, very quick car, quicker than my last BX and a pretty good example, and being as how my lovely wife introduced me to the joy of the internet, i can be part of an excellent club that caters for these cars. Below is a link for my new baby, enjoy cheers. Peter H.

could do with a couple of bits
My new baby needs a couple of parts, trying to track down a glovebox lid, roof ariel, and the windscreen washer that secures to the wiper. These cars are just so hard to find in breakers yards around Kent. Shame of it is i scrapped a TZD that id burnt my fingers on from Egay, sold its 16V alloys and Deflector for good money, in hindsight if i knew i was going to get another BX so quickly, i would have taken a lot more parts off the scrapper Must be some bits somewhere

Hello Pete
Welcome to the club.
Whereabouts in Kent are you?
I threw out a wiper washer the other day. Why? because I'd fitted a spray nozzle onto the bonnet, which actually send the water onto the windscreen, instead of anywhere but. Costs about £2.50 from Halfrauds, and takes 10 mins to fit.

Hi Tom, apart from as your good self under a bonnet, against my better judgement i live in Faversham, thinking of going down the avenue of either a washer fitted to the bonnet or a pug 405 spray bar on the wiper kind of thing, i managed to get the car through an MOT with just a single stream of water from some plastic concocted thing thats bound with insulation tape (not my bodge)
Citroen the thinking mans car, i think im off for a pint while i think about that tricky hydraulic job!!
