Pictures taken and it`s looking good. What doesn`t look good is the fact I`ve (read my kids) lost my cable from digital camera to pc
Do my best to find it afterwards and will post up when done. MOT wise all I know of are tyres (minimum of three, probably all four), ABS sensor (thought to be a wire) and a seatbelt clip BUT... as I`ve not taken it for test yet I cannot and will not rule out anything else, this is just what `ve spotted.
Someone`s coming Saturday to have a look so if you want to view then anytime after that is fine.
Seeing as you appear to live in the same fair city as I do you`re probably not too far away incidentally.
Digital camera is having a senior moment, have more pic`s than this but cannot upload at the moment. Here`s one to whet your appetite for now, sorry if it`s a crap picture...

How powerful is that pug engine? & what is the insurance like seeing as its not a standard car? I may be tempted & get rid of my GTI........
Performance/power should be bloody good for a diesel, I`d suggest asking Vanny or Stewart (Oily) as they both have converted TZD`s with the 1.9 (turbo) fitted.
Insurance wise I haven`t a clue as I have trade insurance, sorry!
Insurance should be a problems as for the insurance its upto you if you tell them, theres no way you can tell its got a bigger engne it unless you were told as the units lok perrt much the same?
I wouldn`t recommend not telling the insurance company, it`s not worth the risk and if they find out it will invalidate your cover and you could really be up shit creek without a paddle.
I can`t see the fact that it`s a 1.9 as opposed to a 1.7 making a huge difference and would imagine insurance to be about the same as a Xantia 1.9TD though obviously it`s best to phone round first for some quotes.
I`m about one mile from the M53, Matt, on the west side of Chester if that helps?

Modified car with a bigger engine than any fitted by the manufacturer. Modded brakes, Alloys? You will need a specialist insurer. No high street company will touch it. Flux will be your best bet if you are old, a householder, member of a car club, and able to pay the premium in one lump sum. (They do a payments plan but is is ridiculously expensive.)
If you are not these things, forget it because for the premium you are about to be quoted, you'll be able to buy much better than a
BX. Tell us anyway, give us old men a good laugh.
1.9 TD Estate, (Modified, fully comp, 20,000 PA, £208 bank.)

. Insurers don't like modifications.
