Yeah, seems strange doesn't it. Both mine were rotten. The GTi put the planet gears through the bellhousing aswell but it still drove home! didn't like going round corners though! :roll: Sadly, both are now dead... :cry:

I thought that as the ones I`ve seen have been pretty late reg`d cars maybe they were special editions to get rid of the last BX`s before the Xantia came in?
Perhaps (as with the Cavalier Commander) they were left out in the open for a while before being sold?

Don't you qualify for preferencial rates from the finance company that you use at work? :? :lol:

Go for it as it's that exciting & pay off the loan totally out of your next 2 pay cheques. :D

IIRC they were all J / K reg and were limited specials so you could well be right Billy.
My mate had a cavvy commander, it rotted faster than we could weld plates into it!

Ah yes, months on end of being stuck in open fields did for the body and electrics. Awful model that needs to be kept well clear of at all costs, unlike it`s sex-on-wheels cousin the SRi130 :lol:


Back o-t, anyone having a bash at this Hurricane-y/GTi-y motor?
