Have picked up my BX
Hi everyone,
Just picked up my BX. Due to the stuffed clutch we traileredd it home with the help of a mates 351 ci Ford LTD. Was a great site with the big old girl towing the little Citroen home through Sydneys afternoon peak hour traffic.
Shes in my garage and safe now. Next week will have to find time to get the clutch out.

Honda Civic Type S
Thanks for the advice kitch.
Just started her. She starts easily, couldnt see any hydraulic leaks but shes leakind a bit of coolant. Will get under her later to find where it is.
On the negative side of issues it has, the alternator light never comes on so I can observe it go out. Suspect blown bulb as the batterry voltage when runnung is 14.3 volts. ABS light never comes on either. Hoping its a bulb also. Cant complain as I got it for next to nothing. The engine appears strong and it seems like it was looked after up until 12 months ago when the clutch went and the owner just parked it.

nice one matey! from what i remember from a couple of our aussie guys they are like hens teeth over there!!
there are a couple of downloads in the main page here for abs testing so you can see if you have any senser issues, i admit to taking the bulb out on mine to get it through its mot one year! then decided to fix it!!!
as kitch said, white P2's do look good!!

If it is the bulb, perhaps you should still here the ABS system do it's self check. Turn the ignition on and listen, you should here a clicking sound after a couple of seconds. That is when the bulb would ordinarily go out.nigel wrote:

Always liked the Alpine white, looks nice and sporty.
Prefer it to the Lamborghini, like Signor Gandini!
Thanks for all the positive comments guys.
Unfortunately the BX 16V is an underappreciatted beast in Australia as some of you may already know. Most people Ive met dont even have the faintest idea what it is.
Was going to get the gearbox out this weekend but its postponed . Wife and I have been treated to a weekend away .
Again thanks for the encouragement. Its a great site and I will be asking many more questions and providing updates on the BX.
