Hi,

Item number: 120088597189

I'm sure I've seen that picture somewhere on these forums before?

Anyway, THAT is a nice car, shame it don't have the bubble leather, i'd sell my kidney if it had them. Still tempted though.

Enjoy.

Hi Deian. The auction pics are fine - I posted these elsewhere (can't recall
where now!!) from the guy's last auction listing, for someone who needed to
be shown how nice a CX looks!!

I have a near identical car myself and it's MOST DEFINITELY my best
CX - and to be honest I don't think it needs leather seats - the velour GTi
trim is fabulous anyway. With this particular car I'd nail down what the state
of the clutch is - IIRC the last auction mentioned a slipping clutch and he
lists the car running on it's original one in THIS auction.

Nice though, but it needs a few quid on the clutch job...

Sorry Deian - god knows what made me think I was writing a reply to
Ciaran... confusing myself jumping forums again!!

I also recall the reserve wasn't met at well over 1750...

come to think of it, it may have been in the low 2k range. I can't find the old ebay auction at the mo!

For anyone brave enough to attempt the clutch change, this is what you are facing: CX Turbo clutch change £500 my foot

IT'S NOT EXACTLY ROCKET SCIENCE!

OK, it'll be a bit of a squeeze getting it in/out of the engine bay if you leave the ancillaries fitted...

I'd do it for £500!!

You do a CX clutch swap on a salty, rusted, seized pommy car for 500quid ????

You'll spend that much just trying to extract/replace all the corroded fasterners

Seriously, it's not a bad job, but you are looking at several days of solid work given the hurdles you will no likely encounter (eg: seized fasters, bearings you can't remove do to rust, alloy grown into bolts etc...). Or is this just expected with all cars when you live in the UK ??
