lots of salted roads make cars like this disappear😔My first car was a 97 Saxo 1.1 with the key panel immobiliser

Cheap French cars are great, we have a 2009 1.2 Clio and I actually q enjoy keeping it going. Have to say it’s actually pretty reliable anyway

I don’t think you should put an imaginary price on it. With a car of that vintage and value, if you’d paid £5/6/700 for it, you’d be able to sell it for that after a year or so, giving you a net loss of £0.

Was marshalling the truck racing meeting at thruxton this weekend and was involved with the JSCC which is essentially younger drivers ( I think 14 years up) racing identical Citroen Saxo cars which got me thinking change the badge and go racing?

Ha! I think Mini HubNut would like this conversion.

He may not like your bx, but he doesnt hold a candle to Jezza

i think the stalks on a sevel van take some beating for shite feeling 😱

So you were the exhaust hooligan I heard around LOS & Newgate Lane then 😂 I’ve yet to see you locally however

Having driven both a very ropey late CX Athena and an extremely early and meticilously kept CX2000 i'd say the Diravi steering is what makes that car. Obviously the early car's steering is very heavy at super slow speeds but ok when you get moving, the problem i found was when navigating longer curves the force needed to turn the steering seemed to increase drastically at a certain point and made the car feel rather pondorous and unwieldy, there was also a savage self-centering force even without diravi, which makes it hard to exit a corner smoothly as the wheel unwinds the 15 billion rotations you've made just to make the thing turn. At motorway speeds it's great as all CXs but around town i found it annoying. Unless the one i drove had something wrong with it, i'd say diravi is >50% of the driving experience of that car. Makes it feel so much more playful and laid-back at the same time and the feeling of being able to flick around this boat of a car without much movement or effort is awesome.

Lambo crash ' Karma!

McGuiness - big red flag!

If the only job being done is changing the strut boot/bellows, it can be done on the car without removing the strut from the steering knuckle. Just depressurise the suspension amd release the strut from the top nut as you would do it removing it. Using a long bar, lever the lower arm down against the bouncyness of the lower arm bushes. The strut pushed down will then clear the inner wheel arch enough to get the bellows removed and refitted. This reduces the job to under 20mins. Easier with an assistant on the bar but still possible single-handed. Take care to not shower dirt from the wheel arch onto the exposed hydraulic ports on tbe strut piston. Good luck

Earned you a sub... I don't actually like Citroën all that much. (They kinda pioneered commercial front wheel drive, I don't like front wheel drive... Personal thingy, pay no mind) My eye fell on the vid because I have a mate that loves the BX. He's had several over the years (last one was a Digit), never a 16V, but I know he'd love to have one... I also remember him always pulling away in the thing, because I actually did have to brake for speedbumps in my car.... But even though I don't like Citroën per se, I still ended up sticking around to the end.. So yeah sub well-deserved..

Brilliant! I love Dumpit even more now I can see how little everything costs!

Great content

Fix the old one. Of get one from a scrap yard.

Your video was the first recommended video after i passed a bx on the highway. What are the odds right. But am i glad i clicked on this loved hearing this story you have a great presenting personality. Definitely subscribing to see what comes next

Yeh gods, did they use string as plasiguage for big end clearances??? Or waiting for the valves to self pocket the pistons? 😮🇬🇧

I had a Citroen ZX with the same switch. That was a nice car as well. Good luck with Dumpit.

Power…….less is more?? 🤔😆

I'm looking forward to years of these little updates

Writing ‘nasty things’ in the comments.

What the heck is that noise as he’s starting - sounds like he’s using a hammer drill to start it. It worked though. Job’s a good’un !

😂😂

The wonder of being able to lock the doors before you close them is also the biggest disadvantage when you lock the keys in the ignition!🤣 I did it once with the most secure Leyland Maxi in the world, because k couldn’t get into it again, nor could my friend who was a mechanic!🙄 I love this content and ‘dump it’s is great bud!

first of your vids and love this one

Do the same analysis on the C6. 🙂

I liked Paddy McGuiness until this video. This car is mint! I'd love to have a unicorn car like this 👌🏻

You turn right, right again, right once more, and then you go straight on... Who needs a left-turn indicator?

I can't imagine that scene came off very well with most enthusiasts 😅 jokes on them buddy.

It doesn’t have the upper glovebox?! When was that introduced? Never seen a Mk2 without one.

I own a 1992 German market GTi with a metal bonnet.

Hah! This comment is purely to help the algorithm. Let's see what we can get for poor Dumpit.

I had a phase 1 diesel, non working heater and non locking doors but it was brilliant, unstoppable in snow. Loved that car

What about insurance, maintenance, fuel and road tax? Not very cheap

I don't think I've ever been so happy as a result of a Stanley knife. #TeamCutOuts

Looking forward to future episodes man, this has something mainstream shows don't have, necessity!

I was expecting you sound the horn while fiddling with the commodo ... some turn indicators commodo's dont like you activate them while the steering wheel is turn (like when they reset while doing a round a bout and you try to put it back on because you care for the other's ) and you feel a bad cruchy sensation ... ( FYI of some viewers ,commodo is also know as : sticks,levers,actuators,... :3

Scrap yards or vehicle recycling centres are your friends, whether on a budget or not
