It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to sell the meteor.We are not able to move the boys school and I simply think it is unfair to the car to keep doing over 250 miles a week in it.
I have done nearly 11,000 miles in it since I boought it in January and the only time it failed to get me where I wanted to go was when the ignition module died.
So here's the details and I make no apology for this advert being long.
1991 ( reg 14/11/91) Citroen BX 1.6 TGS Meteorcrystal grey metallic
119,650 miles but this will increase.
MOT until 01/12/12
TAX until 31/12/12
three owners from new including myself ( although wifes name is on the V5 )
Cambelt changed at 107,779 so less than 12,000 miles ago (head rebuilt + tensioners ,fanbelt, hydraulic pump belt ,thermostat and waterpump changed at the same time )
the first owner ( and old gent) had it from new until August 2010 when he sold it to the garage who used it as a runabout until I bought it in January 2012.
Work done since my purchase
front N/S strut return pipe
heater tap/valve replaced with a cleaned second hand one and now works perfectly
two oil and filter changes
new front brake pads ( discs checked and found to be fine )
plugs changed
Dizzy cap and rotor arm replaced
ignition control pack replaced
Alternator brushes changed
recon starter motor fitted
fuel pipes replaced under bonnet (from pump to round thingy, pipe to carb and return pipe reinstated)
and as recently as the CXM meet
lhm tank emptied and cleaned, lhnm replaced and filters cleaned
new upgraded ignition leads fitted
K+N panel filter fitted
the car also benefits from
l.e.d heater panel lights
front splitter
Rear headrests
aftermarket remote central locking ( two fobs)
ring front fog lights ( just need wiring from switch to relay to complete )
sunroof deflector (has a repaired crack )
Will come with the following spares
starter motor
alternator
carburettor
(all need refurbing )
extra spare wheel ( needs new tyre)
rear caliper parts
various manifold gaskets and studs (new)
various water hoses ( some new)
flexi brake hose ( new old stock )
offside front indicator
nearside valeo headlight
nearside green tinted rear light cluster
windscreen washer tank
spare windscreen spray bar
untested chausson heater pcb with all knobs , facia panel and bowden cables
spare dipstick.
I will be removing my stereo system , the rear parcel shelf will be replaced with an uncut one.
The interior is pretty much immaculate
the bodywork is very presentable
there is no rust at all near the door hinges
any surface rust has been rubbed down , treated and primed ready for paint
the dent in the offside wheel cover panel that was present when I bought the car has been knocked out and needs finishing
the rust in the nearside rear wheel cover panel has been ground out , treated and primed
There is a small area of rust in the nearside front inner wheel arch that has been treated and primed ready for paint ( may need a little weld )
The only issues with the car is it can take a little while to start when hot and I think it would benefit from a relay in the starter motor circuit as suggested in the tech section ( I have the relay )
there is an lhm drip from the front near the accumulator sphere ( pipes may just need nipping up ) and the front offside brake bleed nipple is seized ( all others loosened and bled at cxm )
I am looking for as close to £400.00 as possible for the car
If someone agrees to pay the full price, I will also include
brand new clutch cable
brand new front brake pads
brand new rear brake pads
a pair of brand new handbrake cables
