Only dealing on the net? What no workshop facilities or shop premesis?

Thats a shame, i had my BX 16v done there some years ago, front struts, pipes etc. Also the 16V i have now has had their rear arm mods and some pipework.

Shame, more and more 'old school' citroen people are packing it up.

A case of "use it or lose it" I suppose.

I wonder whether the quality of information available on this forum had anything to do with their demise. If people can do it and do it for themselves, Pleides doesn't serve a lot of purpose does it?

K.,

But they supplied reconditioned kit, whereas most of us cannot recondition out own components.
