BX17 TGD Hatch - Low miles

MULLEY · Post by **MULLEY** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 9:04 pm

Rare 17n/a diesel in very nice looking condition & low mileage. Price is healthy, but it is rare car & if the condition in real life is as good as the piccies, dare i say it, it's probably worth the money

What kind of idiot would buy a 17n/a!?

That looks bloody lovely and not unreasonable money if it really is THAT good - I bet it is.

From GT Cars of Leicester (now gone), where my dads 19TGD and the Xantia came from.

Looks tidy, nice mileage.

If anybody views the car, I can attend with them if they want.

I've never seen this round Leicester.

Never knew there were any without it, until the other day i thought all hydraulic citroens had it as a matter of course until i saw someone say mk1 bx's didn't have it ,but that's a later one so i assumed it would.

My old man had a 1.4 leader in the late 80's and i used to drive it sometimes not long after i passed my test , i don't remember it being that heavy but i don't suppose that model would have had it either?

If you do a search It's been discussed on here many times before, the petrol BX's are apparently ok without PAS but the heavier diesel engines are a pain without it IMHO. Only some of the more basic 1.7N/A diesels didn't have it, all the 1.9 diesels have it.

Yeh my mrs' ZX 1.9 diesel doesn't have it and is a bit of a wrestle until you get it moving along TBH.

A 1.4 petrol TU unit weighs ALOT less than a cast Iron 1.7 XUD hence why it wasnt so heavy, mind you saves you going to the gym!

Yes i hadnt thought of that

perhaps they would be better with a massive 2cv van steering wheel

Just pump up the tires and dont try and move the steering wheel unless your rolling...

Sophie is a MK1 1.9 diesel and she dosnt have it so is pretty heavy when driven slowly.
