Hi
Hi everyone,
my name is Susan and I live in Hertfordshire ,I'm a 24 year old student nurse.
I am kind of new to all this citroen BX stuff so if I ask silly questions please dont bite my head off as, after all , I am just a girl.
my trusty ,rusty corsa gave up the ghost a month or so ago and public transport isnt great where I live.
I have recently got a BX 19 RD its a G reg
it has been in a barn at my dads work for 8 years, a couple of weeks ago my dad connected a good used battery to it and after a few turns she started and he drove it out the barn, not bad huh,
He said it had a small hydraulic leak somewhere underneath, and she wants a little work, but it was free so I cant complain.
the leak has been sorted and dad took it for a mot which it passed second time just needing brake pads and discs.
I waited until yesterday to tax it and will be using it for work for the first time today
I will try to sort out some pictures of it later if I can work out how to put them on here.
speak soon
Sue

Welcome - BX 19 diesels can be very trusty transport and you've obviously got some good mechanical back-up from your dad. That's a big plus.
I wish I could persuade my daughter to drive a BX rather than her Fiesta - I'd be able to spend less of her money and mine in fixing and maintaining it. Perhaps after the next MOT, as I suspect I know how it'll turn out.
Should you ever need it, a post in the "Technical" section should get a helpful response on maintaining or repairing the car, or generally ensuring it has a long life.
Happy BX-ing.

Don't look at the names - just post the appropriate reply if I happen to be on, which I have been rather more this week after getting an internet connection again... silly me, should've seen the general drift. Dohh...
And the motive for the post - apart from general wind-up?
Happy to take bit of harmless fun but it doesn't reflect well on us should there be any prospective female posters out there.
Mr moderator?
