@Raglan Niall :lk: :tinoflag: Thanks.

The Citroën CX was Car of the Year in 1975:

But yes, it's "weird" in many ways, which is part of why I love it so much 😎

@hans my dad had a DS Safari and loved it. Before I was around so I have no memory of that.
I had a BX for a while. Its hobby was blowing hydraulic pipes in hilly Swiss towns.
Enjoy your CX and replace rusty pipes early!

@Raglan Niall :lk: :tinoflag: Oh wow, that's not just any DS 😍

The BX was a nice car too, I got my first driving experience in my dad's.

The hydraulic system isn't something I've ever had a real problem with. If you do your regular maintenance, it should be running fine forever.

All I've experienced is rubber return lines that started to come apart after 15 years, and a leaking high pressure line that was caused by a design flaw, both on my Xantia.

The latter was fixed for free, even though the car was 16 years old at the time 😎
