Cause and effect, all assumed I was talking about the same car as in the post. I just said "an old Citroen" so assumptions kicked in ?
I didn't reply incorrectly to the wrote quote that actually came AFTER/ in reply to what I said, just setting the facts straight that were assumed after I posted that it was not a BX.
Also confirming that quite possibly she was incorrect about the steering and misunderstood the car and in hindsight maybe it was broken. All I know is its the heaviest steering car I've ever driven ( not for long though)
I can't help for others assumptions. So if it was a Posche 911 thread and then said "she had an old Porsche once" and you assumed 911 I'd be in the wrong there too......
It was indeed me, a lifelong citroen fan for shame, who made the assumption all the lhm cars had power steering. I was glad of the information provided but did not mean to cause any grief, it was my assumption that seems to have caused this, mea culpa, apologies I didn't reply incorrectly to the wrote quote that actually came AFTER/ in reply to what I said, just setting the facts straight that were assumed after I posted that it was not a BX.

No worries I was just setting it straight.Perhaps would have been better shedding on and working out the deal with the steering ( as I don't usually back away from problems ) but that's just how it played out.
She never made out it was any better in the past in her ownserhship, but don't know if she had picked up faulty for all I know before I knew her - so who knows! Assumptions and all that.
