Been in Family from new , 5 yrs by me . 110K genuine. FSH every MOT.

fantastic versatile car and I am loathe to part . If they still made it I would be first in !

Loked at hdi version but don't want the complication .

It ows me nothing , I owe - it - decent maintainance and respect .

Had BX's , 406's, Xm, 405's muliples of ( just one XM though )

I never fancied one really. A buddy had a 2.1 TD which drove very well though.

I have owned a 406 2.1 + Xm 2.1

Both had Epic pumps which never gave me any trouble .

Everything else gave grief on the Xm. :evil:

Aux - Belt breakage killed the 406 :( ( got under cam belt )


My Last BX was a very , very good car , only sold it after 6 yrs cos I fancied a change - silly bugger ! G358KUM wherfore art thou ?
