Post by scarecrow »

This looks to be a very nice example - I'm terribly tempted,,, but I want a turbo really.

Bought it.
My first BX. It's not as quick as my old renault 19 1.9 TurboD but still goes really well.
Seems great so far, slightly tempremental drivers speaker and an occasional flicker on the fuel gauge other than that it looks incredibly well looked after.

One question which i'm sure is easy but I haven't had a look at yet was that I was going to get the spoiler sorted out as the lacquer is pealing, is it pretty straight forward to remove and get colour matched.

oh and and trip counter doesn't work is that an easy fix? not that it's really a problem.

Welcome to the forum, the spoiler has four bolts securing which can be removed but sometimes they can be a pain and end up taking part of the spoiler with it!.

The trip meter do sometimes get stuck and a fiddle with the rest button gets it sorted, failing that its live with it replace the speedo head.

Remember with all new purchases get the cambelt changed if you dont know when it was last done.
