I'm back in the fold.
Well if any of you remember me I left the forum a few years back after buying a used Mazda 323 (BA) Great car with no little problems unlike my Citroens. The wife was running a Reno Megane Soft top and then traded up to a Megane CC. I then went and traded up to another Mazda 323 (BJ) which has not missed a beat for over 18 months. The Reno on the other hand became a pain. With more rattles in the roof than ciggies in a pack of 20. So as I now have a little girl who's now 2 and nearly a half, the wife dropped the Reno and bought a Citroen C4, SX 1.4 model. It does the job far better than the Reno and seems as well built as the Mazda. How ever..... A change in jobs for me has meant my little 30 mile a day to and from work drive is now an 80 mile a day drive. The Mazda for all it's auto climate control . ABS, leather etc was only doing 35 to 38 MPG, and that was with proper Mazda servicing and a free flow K&N filter. So this week end I became the owner (once again) of an 1997,'R' reg ZX TD SX. One local owner by me with 113k on the clock and a full get this Citroen service history!!!. I couldn't believe my eyes, full Citroen service history with all the stamps. Now with 11 months MOT,6 months Tax and some insurance for me I've paid the sum of £900 for the car. A little more than I want too but I think this one aint a lemon. The Mazda is now snuggled in the garage for the winter. And tomorrow the ZX gets a wash 'n' wax and if the wife aint looking an oil 'n' filter change and interior clean. Good to be back guys 'n' girls.
The wifes got a C4 I've got a ZX TD SX!!!!

Welcome back Stuart
Sounds like a good deal you have there. Never worry about paying what seems a lot for a decent example. Buy cheaper and the cost of sorting it out soon surpasses what a good example might cost to begin with.
Just goes to show; once a Citroen owner, always a Citroen owner
