BX turbo diesel wanted
BX turbo diesel wanted
I'm new to the forum, I currently own a ZX 1.9D and my first car was a Pug 306, also a 1.9D.
I'm looking for something different now, and the BX looks very interesting to me. The trouble is that I can't seem to find ANY for sale anywhere, so I wondered if someone on here has one going?
I'm not interested in estates as I'm only 17 (18 in a couple of weeks) and they're too big for my needs. I bet you don't get many people my age on here, eh?
OK so if anyone has a BX hatch for sale, please let me know as I'd love to own one!

Well for the 1.7 TD insurance is about £200 more than I'm paying now, for my ZX. I want something different, I've had 2 cars with the same engine now.Roverman wrote:Welcome aboard James, bearing in mind your age I would check the insurance on a TD against a 1.9D and see how it works out.
Relating to my first post I'd like to add that I will take good care of a BX if I can get one, I'm not a boy racer
Oh and thanks for the welcome.

Did I miss something? Does it have to be a TD?

Hahahahaha! I did miss something.....the title
Theres been a few on here recently alone, I don't think you'll have an issue finding one, although what you want is a nice xsara TD, and it just so happens I can help you with that!
Otherwise get a valver and hang the insurance. You only live once....briefly.

Recent scruffy diesel n/a estate - "The Red Shed" - is no longer mine. - x 9
Strangely enough, this particular car seems to be sitting on a set of ZX alloys (unless I'm very much mistaken). Don't dismiss TGD turbos - the TXD turbo's predecessor. Both are easily upgradeable to TZD spec if that's the way you want to go, and the best-driving BX turbodiesel I've ever owned was a TGD turbo.
Back on two wheels and pedal power for the moment.
The wheels look like boggo aftermarkets to me.
Welcome along by the way. You should get a BX 14... Cheap to insure, cheap to tax, cheap to run, usually low mileage, and easy to work on.
But... sounds like you're after a diesel to me. In which case good luck finding a nice one. They are out there.

BX 14 FTW
The diesel will need to be amazing on fuel to make up the savings on insurance and road tax. And with the right mods, a 14 will keep up with a TD...mine did.

Aye, but with 'the right mods' and whilst keeping up with the TD, I would wager it would be drinking *substantially* more fuel...Kitch wrote:BX 14 FTW
