Hola, from Malaga

Post by MarcusMcGuinness »

Hi there,
I live in a small village 40 minutes away from Málaga city, and own a 1994 Citroen ZX 1.9TD Volcane and a 1999 Peugeot Partner 1.9D. Both cars are pretty knackered (although the zx is still a beauty) and can't be worth much more than 500 euros between them, so I've started doing any maintainance and repair work myself. I have already read a load of stuff here which has helped me to do bits and pieces, but my latest challenge is with the Partner. This had accumulated a long to-do list for an imminent MOT, none of which has yet been done, but added to that the engine has suddenly started making an alarming noise from the cam. I'll start a new thread to ask advice on that. Meantime, does the forum allow us to upload mp3 recordings of engine noise or do I have to make it into a YouTube video, or such like?
Thanks,
Mac

Hi, Mac, and a welcome from another near-Málaga resident.
I ran a ZX myself (but definitely not a Volcane), clocking up 90k+ of company mileage.
See a fair few out our way - it's Xantias (and certainly BX) that are really thin on the ground.

Thanks, Chris.
I know where you are. We're west of Málaga in Alhaurin El Grande. Not as unspoilt as your neck of the woods but still great to live here!
