BXs come in 1.7D and TD and 1.9D flavours. The engines are similar and

common to 205/405/306/ZX/etc models. Higher spec ones have good seats,

I was very fond of mine. The load area in an estate will be relatively

wide because of the design of the rear suspension.



The Hydropneumagics in a BX are not all that complicated to anyone who

knows what they are doing, but something like a blown bulb can easily

cause the cost of repairs to outweigh the value of the vehicle. Bits

are cheap from the likes of GSF and Eurocarparts.



Ride is very good for a car with its roots in 1983. Steering is a bit

woolier than I care for but they grip and handle OK. And by jings they

stop, the powered brakes can take some getting used to.



The bodies don`t rust, there`s loads of stuff about them on the internet

and the isosceles styling means they look a bit cool, especially if you

were young and impressionable during the 1980s.

Yay, we agree on the right person, for the right price, on a 166.



That must be a first. Don`t suppose there is a cheapish JTD 166 that you

could get an allowance for, instead of taking a company car is there.

Werl, thats got me interested. 1.9D sounds about right for enonomics,

and I`m on first name terms with Eurocarparts anyway. Cheers for the

info Doug.

Title: There is my car, now watch it turn on.

So to begin with, this is not real or augmented reality. It is a trickster

“…to automatically unlock/lock*3 the car door and start/stop the engine. Nissan and Sharp has now integrated these electronic intelligent-key, wireless communications and electromagnetic technologies into the new handset. ”

I have always been jealous of my friends that can start their cars from their key fobs, especially on those cold or hot days that could use some warming up or cooling down. Hopefully one day, I will be able to download my make and year of my car (and maybe some private registration info) to my cell phone and be able to access my car and other cool features from the palm of my hand.
