BX hydraulic leak

Post by Sicile »

Does anyone know a good place for repairs on classic Citroens in Kent? The local Citroen dealer doesn't seem to be really on the ball with hydraulics and the only specialist I've found only does the DS. I don't think its a leak caused by the system becoming old and decrepit, it appears to be a split in the return pipe but I can't get to it by just jacking up one corner. Can anyone help?

Not in Kent I'm afraid but if you can nurse it up to Pleiades in Sawtry, Cambs. then they are the best in my opinion. Or, Southways Automotive, Fareham, Hampshire equally as good.

Well done on approaching the Citroen dealer for a laugh!

It's a bit shit that the DS place wouldn't offer to help out with, what is hopefully, a simple return pipe leak.
