Mk 1 BX 19RD For Sale

A clutch is about £65.
Free labour if you can do it yourself, and it aint a bad job on N/A's.

If you can't do it yourself, I guess your looking at about £200 labour?

It might not be slipping, it could be the thrust bearing is siezing up under load and burning through the "fingers" making it difficult it get gears, especially 1st and reverse. But yes, not a bad afternoons work on a n/a 19d

I could supply you with a brand new ferodo re-con clutch for 15 quid or a new valeo for 50. Though to be honest, if you're considering keeping the car, I'd be wary of fitting a re-con clutch.

But if you fancy a rare BX diesel. I'd go for this and worry about the clutch later.

Hmmm, I'm quite tempted by this actually, always wanted a mk1 and its such a nice colour.

dumbtime, is it still drivable at the moment? It only needs to come 20 miles or so down the M4 as I'm only in Newport.

If you want it Nstarmore, go for it. Looking unlikely that I'd actually have time to go and get it. Still lots of family stuff to do! Does this season never end?!

Nice one, I'm glad it was saved by one of 'us' I have to be honest I would have been struggling for space and would probably have to sell my TGD to make room so I'm happy. Keep us updated on progress

Wow, I haven't looked at this post for while because it was going a bit off topic. So sorry to those who suddenly showed interested but yes it's sold, well done Chris for a deal of the century!
As we talked I would be interested to know what it gets up to and any pics of it at any 'meets' with other BX's!

It feels like there's a big hole in my heart now, as this car has always been in my life.

I now don't have a BX, Boo hoo.
But still gona keep my account, YAY!

That's very kind of you, though I've already got a free car sorted, a VW golf.
when I graduate and have a proper job, I think I may go back to BX's as I'll actually have the money to look after it properly.

Contrary to popular belief they dont take alot of looking after, trick is to get a decent one to start with and do as much work as you can yourself.
