The love affair ends

Post by BX596 »

It is with heavy heart,that I have decided,my BX is beyond economic repair :cry: If anybody on here can take it on,fine.If not,I'm afraid it will have to be scrapped,I've run out of time and patience.
1992 (J) TZD hatch
First the good bits
5 months tax
16 V alloys with centres and good Kleber tyres
New heater matrix and water pump 6 months ago
5 new spheres 2 years ago
Brand new front pads
New clutch and arm bearings 3 years ago.
A few bits and pieces of spares
Relatively low mileage for year(138000)
2 owners from new(me since Nov 2004)

Now the bad

MOT failure
needs front wings welding in usual places.
Hydraulic issues(air getting in system somewhere) causing heavy steering and brake delay
New front exhaust pipe needed(or this one welded)
Leaking brake pipe front N/S
back N/s rear wing's paint crazed
back N/S door bottom folded under
front N/S wing dinted
Usual ASDA battle scars :twisted:
Head gasket blowing a bit,though I've been told Steal seal is excellent stuff.
I've been as honest as I can,but if you want any photos of specific areas,shout up.Please bear in mind it is out of MOT and has hydraulic issues so ideally will need towing,but does still drive(quite nicely actually apart from the brakes)
Best offer within 7 days secures

Got any pictures of the corrosion issues, the rear door and crazed paint? Everything else should be an easy fix.

The hydraulics are the main issue and have become a rather elusive problem to fix,otherwise there's no way I'd have posted what I have,and I'd be tootling round for another year.I'm really struggling with work issues(shift patterns/changes) and am thus struggling for spare time.
