WANTED - PRETTY URGENT (more so than wheel bolts!)
Billys odl 1.7na Diesel has become something of a deceased car!
Engine has failed big stylee, wont rotate, blowing big bubbles and last time we flushed the rad the water was like chocolate! Yes the head is gone, but i suspect the whole bottom end (and probably the top) are rotten out!
Matt qualified as a Paramedic Technician yesterday (has been doing a good 100miles a day to work and back without too many problems from the car) and starts shifts monday afternoon and is in desperate need of transport!
He's after (ideally) a replacement 1.7 NA diesel engine that can be dropped straight in, or alternatively a white 1.7td saloon with some or more MOT, but all in all a BX with MOT is fine so long as it's nice and cheap!
Please help! Even if you just happen to have a car lying around that your not using and you can spare a loan of, let me know!
Cheers

Vanny, will POSSIBLY have the chance to collect a cheap (£75-ish?) petrol BX hatchback over the next few days. Not sure if it`s tested though and whether it needs any work. I`ll probably buy it anyhow and if it`s too far gone then I`ll break it but if it`s saveable then all well and good.
I`ll pm you shortly with refernce to Matt`s car.
Incidentally would the 16V be alright for him to borrow when done assuming MOT isn`t too much trouble? He could drive it round and we could post a for sale note in the window at the same time?

Nice one AbarthMark, I`ll look forward to a free ride in your cab one day by simply stating the secret password: `BXClub`
Welcome along to the forum mate, you`ll probably have already realised it`s a good place to be.
Undoubtably I`ll see you koncking about in your cab one day and introduce myself. If you have a look at the events and meetings section you`ll see a few of us are meeting at Cholomondeley Castle in September if you want to pop along, should be a laugh.
How near to Chester are you btw?

its a cinquecento abarth. The engine is standard with induction kit and ANSA rear silencer, lowered sports springs, powerflex front bushes, momo steering wheel, red dials, lamda gauge, voltmeter, minilite 6x13 rims with yokohama tyres, ferodo competition pads. I've done 2 track days with it at Oulton Park and Brands Hatch.
