Hi Louise

Keep an eye on ebay and car and classic, best place to find them.

Thanks for the reply...been trying for a little while to find...however not having a great deal of luck. I may have to reconsider and search for a manual!

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks again, Louise.

Patience is the key.

...thanks for the heads up on ebay...looks like it's gone now! typical eh! i think your right...patience is the key.

Is it worth contacting the citroen owners club? any advice appreciated given that this is not my specialist subject and have given myself a task looking for my dad.

Thanks, Louise

Yeah you missed it, bought by a member on here.

I wouldn't bother with the CCC as the guy who covers their BX section is also on here.
Keeping checking all the internet sites like Loot, Freeads Gumtree etc etc. They do turn up, usually in three's

You could also try posting up a Wanted ad on the various classic car websites as well, you never know your luck.

Best thing is to regularly check the internet on various places where they may crop up. The auto diesels are quite rare, normally more petrols can be found, so as long as your'e not in a rush, a diesel one will eventually turn up.
