Citroen bx tzd spares or repairs

I am a Citroen bx enthusiast and have had over 8 bx’s since 1994 when I purchased this car it was in pristine condition however 2 weeks after I purchased it an idiot crashed in the front drivers side corner it spent 6 months off the road whilst the insurance paid up. After the settlement my friend did the repairs for me new wing head light indicator and bumper. The front panel was pulled out straight. And the area was repainted silver along with the front wing. The bonnet was cracked around the drivers side head lamp but although I purchased another one I never got around to getting it sprayed this is included with the car. The front bumper was never sprayed either. Whilst driving home from work in December the car overheated and I believe caused the head gasket to go. A pipe before the thermostat split causing the engine to lose water. I had no idea anything was wrong until the car stopped. The engine is not seized and turns over freely but does not start.
Other faults with the car
Heater control knob has broken off the cable between the control panel and the heat shut off valve is stiff for some reason. Includes are a knob and control panel to be replaced. Rear suspension bearing has started to go. Included is an arm which I rebuilt with new bearings. Front drivers side seat has a split in it included are two complete interiors Citroen bx hurricane and Citroen bx gti 16 valve.
Included with this sale are enough spare parts to fill a sprinter van you are welcome to take it all excluding the van
The sunroof does work but occasional the over ride pin jumps out so you have to push it back in with your finger. The drainage channels from the sunroof are blocked this need to be looked at probably a bit of welding rod pushed up the pipe.
Rear bumper is original but needs respray passenger rear wing has some scratches on it passenger front wing has flaking paint on the top of it see pic’s.
It has air con but it is not working. Included in the sale is a nearly new heat exchanger also a pump and other air con parts which were taken from a previous car I owned which had a working air conditioning system. The car will need a good clean inside before use.
There is no tax or mot the car is sorn off the road at present. Note it will need to be tailored away. I have no way of delivering this car to you.
Before the car overheated engine was fine pulled very well all suspension was working fine.
With the birth of my daughter I just don’t have the time anymore to fix cars but I am sure it would not take much to get this car back on the road.
I have tried to be as honest as I can( have a good look at the pictures) be if you have any question feel free to get in touch you are welcome to come and view the car before you purchase it remember you bid to buy not to look
car is J reg 1991

You can contact me on 07811 111 567 (Kevin)

If so good luck with the sale Kevin !

Neil, You better be quick now that its been advertised on E-BAY too for £350 (or make an Offer) as the Hurricane interior is part of the advertised deal !

So if it gets Sold, (and if I was the purchaser) I would expect what's been advertised by the sellers description/listing :wink:

Good if you can get it though !

So Neil, have you not managed to secure the Hurricane interior on its own then ?

As it looks-like something is going on behind the scenes :?

a) The Gumtree ad. link has gone dead "Sorry, this ad is no longer available"

b) The E-bay listing is still live but the listing HAS been revised from the TWO sets of interior to ONE set !
Original E-Bay Listing wrote:Front drivers side seat has a split in it included are two complete interiors Citroen bx hurricane and Citroen bx gti 16 valve.
Revised E-bay Listing wrote:Front drivers side seat has a split in it, included is a Citroen bx gti hurricane interior
/\ therefore appears like the Normal/Std. GTi has been withdrawn from the sale but the Hurricanes set is still included !

Its a good job no-ones placed a bid on it as yet, as they'd be within their rights not to go thro' with a potential sale !

BTW, Does this belong to a forum member by any chance (Who could enlighten us all) ?

If so good luck with the sale, if its indeed it not already sold via. the Gumtree ad. ?

:)

Just checked/noticed the sellers revised E-BAY listing (With less than 24 hrs of listing to end) as follows :-
E-bay Seller wrote:Citroen bx tzd save it from the scrap-man

££££cash on collection please £££££

I have decided if it does not sell to scrap the car as I need the car gone by the weekend .

note car is located in Bath not Bristol

You can contact me on 07811 111 567
Also note that listing has been changed to a 'BIN' only for £200 but it looks like the 'Sprinter Van' worth of spares is NOT included !

I bought the 16V interior as I wanted the two front seats – if anybody would like any of the rest of the 16V interior please let me know. He also has some 16V wheels...

Hey guys, i'm new to the forum. Thought i'd drop a quick line to say that i've just bought the TZD in question and the owner has been kind enough to include all of the spares he has in the price. Headgasket is totally gone as engine is turning over very fast (cambelt is ok though) just no compression. Suspension is on bump stops, so that'll be fun for the recovery firm i've got coming to collect it!

I have had a few BX's in the past including a 91'J TZD hurricane which saw me all the way through university. Included in my spares stash is a genuine citroen sunroof deflector and door handle guards. Spares are being sorted out this weekend and anything that i don't need i will chuck a listing on for sale section - probably complete hurricane interior with door cards will be first.

Cheers
Steve

Ooh yes, please consider me for the Hurricane interior! The car collection lorry will probably damage the underside. If you keep the engine turning over, the car will eventually rise up, but try and do it in ten second bursts to avoid cooking the starter motor

Head gasket gone on every cylinder??? Is it not more likely the cambelt has slipped and bent the valves or similar?
