Hi Malcolm.

Was it overheated to yellow or to red? Yes, I know it's the difference between "almost certainly" and "definitely" head-gasketed..

Does it geyser if removing the rad cap on startup? You've probably got it in your signature, but what colour is it, please. I know someone who likes and uses workhorse BXs and has the odd 1.9D engine knocking about.

sorry she is red arent they all TEA HE,

i think my daughter fairly well cooked it,

i do run my own car repair shop mainly fixing citroens, other makes under protest (screamming and kicking),

i have/did spend quite some time trying to get her to hold water but to no avail,( the BX not my daughter )

i had fitted a new clutch about a week before my daughter cooked her,

trouble is/was my daughter was a long term dersh owner/driver before i gave her my old BX, so i give her the excuse of not beeing used to water cooled cars,

if your freind dose have it and sticks another lump in her, i would like to keep hold of the GAS FLOWED head

regards malcolm

Thanks, Malcolm.

Will have a word with my friend and see if he's interested. If he is, he does have a trailer, but what he thinks will be dependent on yard space too. When last seen, his yard was a little clogged with an aged caravan undergoing serious repair, and a motor home about to be returned to the owner.

As you say, they nearly all are red - and probably faded too. Remarks about the head noted.

Could you PM or post an idea of how much you are looking for, please?

I finally got to have a longer chat with my friend this weekend.

Unfortunately he's not exactly flush with yard space either at the moment, though he does have lumps which might go in it.

Sorry, it has to be a no, Malcolm.

Looks like it's going to the crusher then!

I don't think the 'open to sensible offers' is working. Last throw - why not say gratis to an enthusiast? Might work - and if it doesn't a small cash bonus awaits.
