Excellent choice Jamie!
I think the top speed could even be 90+ or thereabouts!! DIRAVI is totally fabulous isn't it!!
The 2.2 and 2.0's have a bit of a history of dodgy carbs and there's a chance the car has had
some previous activity from a past owner so I'd check the security of the fuel feed than runs
up the front of the engine and check if there's a fuel filter etc that may even be choked or not
secure. When you're at the front of the engine, check the metal coolant feed pipe than runs
across the front cross member as these have a tendency to rot with potentially disastrous
consequences...
Check the wires (especially the earth) inside the bootlid first to get life into the central locking
motor.
The fuses live under the front knee pad area ahead of the driver with a pair of slot screw
fasteners which allow the cover to drop/hinge down like the glovebox.
The Haynes IS worth having as it's from the old school of thought with proper overhauling and
significant surgery, rather than the HaynesLight dumbed down version of today that needs a
chapter to tell you how to change a wiper blade...
Check out ebay for the french Revue Technique/Practique manuals and there are links for the
proper Cx manual to download as a pdf on the web with a bit of creative Googling!
Enjoy - a sadly rare beast now and actually your model will be economically viable too!
All the best,
Andrew
