What if and a big what if, we dont know the part number? I suppose no sale. They dont make it easy for themselves do they, or us for that matter.

If they were that bothered they would list them seperatly.

I'm only the messenger lol!

In my opinion, they probably have a very large number of different parts and frankly are too busy to go through and list each individually. What would be handy would for this Club to be able to find the part numbers quickly for any part - Mat, fancy sourcing an old Citroen microfiche lol?

There is this, thanks to Matt H for making it searchable. Or people can register on Service Citroen or whatever it's called now, and get the part numbers from that.

I can see whey they've not listed everything - it'd be a mammoth task when potentially only a small proportion will be sold. Better this than just dumped in the skip!

I have a van load of Subaru bits, with part numbers. I have no reference to tell me what these parts fit. Very hard to sell them. Maybe I should do the same.

That link's an Error 404, Mat

That's strange, as it works fine for me! Anybody else able to view the PDF?

I get the error message as well. I'm viewing it via Safari.

How can I find out what part number an upper speedo cable for my BX would be?

I'm sure Malcolm ( Citronut ) will have the part numbers Phil.

But still a little frustrating separating out BX parts but it is a helpful addition to the original listing.

Myself and PhilGreaves spent a highly amusing hour or so going up and down the parts racks at the place in question (a former Cit dealer oop north) a month or so ago – I'd bought two windscreens and a bumper from Ebay and passed one screen to Phil, and when we picked them up the parts guy (who's about 20 and has no idea at all about older cars in general, let alone Citroens) invited us to have a rummage. I cleared out a big box of most of what I recognised to be BX bits (although some turned out not to be BX at all!). What's left unidentified is mostly small stuff - nuts, bolts, fastenings, there's some trim, quite a few light lenses and dash gauges etc. They've also still got all the 80s special tools etc - I've already expressed an interest in those when they decide they don't need them any more!

A little bit easier to pull numbers from. Done in a bit of a rush, I apologise for errors

Things starting '95' have a greater chance of being for the BX.
