I've seen the balls you refer to, they are green, yes?
and when one of them failed on a BX a mate was driving, he lost brake servo,
power steering and suspension all at once. hence suddenly he wasn't driving
a boat, it was more like driving a slab of concrete.

now I want one. a car that farts at pedestrians has to be a good

Especially if it has a built in ignitor. Any of this covered in a

If you don't mind, I need to get a bit technical now.
My car has balls.

Thanks to the balls the car floats.
I guess the model of my car is the last model that farts. Never
models have an antifart ball.
That ball also prevents the car from dropping onto the pavement
when the engine shuts down.
So it's a sort of a fart collecting ball, keeping the car upright.

Like I said, my car doesn't have such a ball. My car has enough
balls. It's unnatural to stay upright when the engine stops.

New cars refuse to fart nor do they drop.

Besides. My balls are not intended as subject for discussion.

That wasn't a ball that broke. It must have been one of the pipes
towards the green balls.
And yes. If one of those pipes breaks you are in deep, deep, deep
trouble.
Citroen drivers are stong believers in higher powers to protect them
against braking pipes.

It could have been the main accumulator let go and dumped the nitrogen into
the system. It would have bled itself and been fine in a few seconds,
though.

Of course, there's no substitute for maintenance - rotten pipes and flat
spheres should both have been replaced *ages* before causing a problem...

Didn't think of that. But lucky me, I never experienced something like
that.

even a few seconds whilst driving a car which ceases to function is a few
seconds far too long, man!
fortunately the friend I refer to is an experienced driver and fortunately
managed to not to destroy his car or any other objects/pedestrians in the
way.

actually the car was very well maintained.
I'll take a normally sprung car anytime over one of those BX beasts.
my peugeot 405 turbo diesel has an identical engine/transmision but none of
that hydraulic ****.

Handle well if the suspension fails, does it?
