I checked the LHM and it needs changing so I'll see what they charge for this. The fuel filter and air filter will be changed at the same time.Regards

Has it had spheres / fluid changes by anyone in the past?
If your dad gets stuck Im not a zillion miles away (near the Brig) and usually have a few bits floating about.

It's not got a FSH however there were a few recent Citroen servicng reciepts (WOW they know how to charge). The ride at the moment is good. I think the accumulator is perhaps on it's way out as the STOP light goes out fairly quickly and the LHM is a yellowie green colour.
I was suprised at how responsive the 90BHP is and it is also slighty lower geared than the 110BHP. I know this one is chipped but it is better than the 110BHP in mine.[:(] I drove it back from Leeds and it is absolutely spot on.
I'll pass the info on to the old man and hopefully he won't need to take you up on your offer.[;)]
Thanks

A quick update as it has had:
Cam belt
fuel + air filters
oil and filter
LHM
gearbox oil
The bad thing is he's not had the bill yet but I feel much happier now the cam belts been done (104000 miles on it [}:)]).

Any wonder considering the state of the LHM in your BX, it was minging![:0]
