Just been looking on ebay for Metro spares and came across this shop which has a selection of spares for older Citroens, including BX:

Re: New old stock spares

Re: New old stock spares
Motaquip was, until about 3 years ago, PSA owned. It was their factor division, so cheaper to buy the bits in a Motaquip box than a Citroen or Peugeot box!

Re: New old stock spares
But be warned - Jollygoodcarspares can sell you something which is NOT as advertised. I got an o/s drive shaft described as 'new', well it was not. A couple of new CV boots and a knackered new intermediate bearing, with wear on the splines do not a new drive shaft make....
So caveat emptor and hassle the shite out of them if they fob you off, even if unintentionally.

Re: New old stock spares
I used to have a LOT of my parts from them, but they went downhill a couple of years ago and now I think they're jst overstretching.
Parts are often wrong, not in Stock or poor quality cheapos (despite expecting something specific), mostly though, when it goes wrong, their service just sucks like a Dyson factory.
