E-Bay Seller wrote:Citroen BX RD estate 1.9 Diesel (non-turbo)
I've owned and driven this car for nearly 10 years now and it has been great on fuel, never failed to start and done everything I've asked of it but all good things come to an end and now I've bought a newer diesel, I have decided (reluctantly) to sell. My mother loved the BX, claiming it was the only car in the family she could get in and out of but since her death, the poor old BX hasn't covered much mileage and now needs a new home. PLEASE NOTE: this is a 1900cc normally aspirated Diesel and NOT the 1700 Turbo! On the plus side... no turbo to go wrong, no EGR system, no silly DPF, no ABS brakes, no complex electronics.

This isn't a mint, one owner car - it's a workhorse past its 20th year but still brushes up quite well. There is a little surface rust coming through the back arches and inside one of the rear doors (see photo) but generally the car is sound and has never been welded. In all the time I've owned the BX, it has needed just tyres, an exhaust, glow plugs, 2 spheres, a clutch + cable and one battery. The timing belt was changed 5,000 miles ago but now a good engine service is due (oil/filters) The brakes have been checked and fitted with new front discs in living memory. At some point, the front seats have been swapped for Honda items - originality nuts take note. I think the engine has been swapped at some point because when I asked my local Citroen garage to see why the rev counter didn't work they reckoned the engine was from a ZX. There's a small pin hole in one of the rear lights - I have a small bit of insulation tape over that to keep it legal. Suspension takes a while to go up - the Citroen garage say that the strainer in the bottom of the fluid tank needs cleaning out but I've never bothered getting it done.

The road tax runs out at the end of April 2013 and the test expires this July 2013. I'm not looking for a fortune and would much rather give the car away than see it scrapped. BX fans - get bidding! On sale from bid #1 but PLEASE no zero rated bidders - unless you contact me and convince me your bid is genuine, it WILL be cancelled and do take note of the car's location (NE England). I can meet buyers at Durham train station, if required. Should be OK to drive 100 miles but I haven't driven that far in a long time. I will, of course, check all levels are OK before departure.

Questions answered gladly (& hi-res additional pics too on receipt of your e-mail, as eBay does not support photos as attachments to an 'Ask buyer' question) but the description is quite thorough. Can be viewed/inspected BEFORE the end of the auction. Payment terms: Cash on collection ONLY. UK bidders ONLY!
The seller seems knowledgeable about ^^bx> 's are they a forum member by any chance as I notice there's a 'Pick-arse-so' + is that a C1 in the back ground too ?

Hmmm, if it's coming through something it's not just surface rust...

If the engine was from a ZX they'd have needed to change the cam and blank off the oil feed to the vacuum pump, plus all the ZXs I've worked on and driven had the keypad immobiliser and corresponding protected solenoid on the injector pump - also I can't see why a swap would stop the rev counter from working!

But seems like a fairly good warts 'n all description, and looks pretty tidy. Will be interesting to see what it fetches...

I had a new ZX 19D in '93 which didn't have any keypad thingy on it. The alarm/ immobiliser just worked off the fob button. :?

Ah, don't think I've had experience of anything older than an L reg so that must be a later device.

Check out the photo of the engine bay - there's a nasty looking patch on the inner wing by the VIN plate and another on the bulkhead. Looks tidy enough inside and generally well-loved, but there's going to be quite a lot work for someone. Nice to see a full and literate listing with decent photos for a change.
