My BX time to go :(
My BX time to go :(
Just a little heads up for you all.
Does anyone know anybody who would be interested in my bx and a few bits for a few quid? Mine has just about had its day. I think the Gearbox is shot at. I came home from work on Wednesday night any there was a trickling sound I looked underneath and I am fairly sure what was box oil was p!ssing out all over everywhere. So the time has come to get shut and move on. I have about a week to get it shifted. Otherwise unfortunately it will have to go to scrap.
The engine is fairly sound and it still has 9 month mot. Front suspension was done last year before my "bump". Interior is not to bad slight hole in drivers seat. otherwise what you would expect from a car 18 years old. It really only needs the box sorting I presume. It could be seals or something like that. But last year we said the next big thing and its time to get shut. So the time has come.
pm me for any other info.

To be totally honest cav mate I don’t know. Because it has not moved off the drive since I got home last Wednesday. And I only presume it was box oil as it was from that general region underneath when I had a 30 second look. Could be a hole there or just a seal but from the amount of oil that was pouring out it looked bad. i supose it could be lhm from something.
I will start it tomorrow and just double check the lhm and engine oil. Trouble is I don’t really want to drive round the block in case something has / does pack in, and I end up stranded.

There is a smell, but its more "gassy" than "fishy". any way i will have a bit more of a look tonight.demag wrote:Chances are if its gearbox oil it will smell very fishy (honest!). LHM has a more "sweet" smell and can be identified by a green stain on the floor if there's lots of it.
cavmad, i have done a lot of work to it but at the end of the day i bought it for abut £2200 in september 1995 so i dont think it owes me anything i would rather give it to some one to help them keep one on the road rather that scrap it, however if its has to go to scrap thats what i will have to do as i just dont have the space to start stripping it and ebaying parts or stuff like that.
