this was the most not boring boring video i watched in my life. but. i am commenting this just so you get money... i still enjoyed the video.
I thought It was going to be them damaging It but this Is Terrible they should have payed you for that
Well Paddy was crap on top gear, knows nothing about cars, I had a 16V in the early 90s and everyone thought it was cool. Fast, comfortable, spacious
Great cars BX👌 I drove my BX14 all around Iceland in 1990. A fantastic roadtrip.
DJR V8 Supercar. Weren't too successful but the AU dominated the V8 2 competition a few years later 😊
I have a bmw 2002 and I have this same issue. For me for the time being I’m going to buy a ‘Roberts petite’ radio. As it will sit perfectly on the dash shelf. It has a built in battery. And it has Bluetooth. So I could connect my phone for KZread and play vids while on journeys, but have a better speaker. I feel it’s a great solution, as I also don’t want to cut holes in tbe dash for a radio. Or anywhere for speakers. I’m also thinking of fitting a second Bluetooth speaker for those longer trips. But for the small instant ones this will be my personal solution fkr now.
I hope this is car ‘pride’ because that soils be quite troubling😂😂 Brilliant I love that others are coming round and finically speaking out agaisnt that horror show of a mafia This channel just found new support👍🏻👍🏻
I think it's really strange this car got so much flack. I always thought it was really cool. Way cooler than some run of the mill SUV you can see 500 of in a day. NPC behaviour.
I like Dumpit. It has grown on me. I love the interior. Good Luck with it.
My dad owned the citroen BX GTi 16V and it was a beast! It beat many cars on the road back then
why you bothered mate. you got paid quite well I assume for them to use your car. nobody drove it. so no risk of damage to the car at all. They just commented on it. Yoiu make it sound like it's you child that got piss taken out of... i can tell you're not a dad. Because only a childless person would take to getting so insulted about their posession being roasted.
How much do you get paid commenting on KZread videos, then?
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.
Fair point. I haven't put a value on it, yet.
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?
Why would I need to change the badge? The JSCC use this exact model! But in a dream world, yes, I'd do exactly that!
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
Oh no, that's the pop & bang brigade! I'm not in that.
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 !
Or maybe there’s a little bit of conrod sticking out somewhere 😅
Since it seems to go away once it started I'd guess it's just super high compression and the utter lack of anything designed to make the engine quiet
😂😂
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!
Ah, but you can't do it with the driver's door, so the odds of that happening are reduced (though still possible that one day I'll be putting a brick through a back window...)
@@UPnDOWN the lady who was in the date with me at the time wasn’t impressed as it was November at Birling Gap…..in the rain…..and dark! Never saw her again, no sense of humour bud😎🤣
