It wasn't me that spotted you, but that picture has appeared today. I'm not sure how many S1 XM there are in Nottingham, but can say there was possibly yours and definitely another Series 1 TD there on Friday.miq wrote:
Haha amazing, didn't know there was a fellow xm owner so close to mine. I'd love to see one of your cars at some point if you are a local to have some sort of baseline for mine.
On other news I took the clutch cable out and set it back up, as citroenxm said the cable was the correct one, it's just that somehow it'd managed to be pulled about one clich or two too much. The biting point is a bit higher now, perhaps preloading the clutch lever a few mm I could add even more tension to it but it will do for now. I've also checked under they dash and the pedal stop is where the diagram shows, however, it still has quite a bit of free travel at the top where you can see that the pedal moves but the cable doesn't...may try and make a thicker stop for it.
I also found a cracked pipe that goes from the ns end of the inlet to some sort of actuator (big reduction), replaced it with a couple of bits of silocone pipe and a reduction, we'll see if it makes any difference! As it stands the boost pressure gauge goes up to the R.

The clutch cable needs free play at both the top and bottom cables for the self adjuster to work. The self adjuster has a collet which releases the outer sheath when the lower cable is fully relaxed and the shim fixed to the inner cable presses down on the collett. At that point the spring stretches the outer sheath so takes up slack. Once the inner cable becomes tensioned by the upper cable being pulled, the shim rises off the collett locking the outer sheath length.
There shouldn't be any slack in the lower cable as the spring should keep it tensioned. You can pull slack, but when it is at rest there shouldn't be any. If the collett is sticking, a spray of lube should free it off and make it work properly.
The pedals will be at different heights, with the brake pedal being the lowest, as the brake pedal hardly moves in operation.
The pipe you have found is the boost pipe that feeds the boost pressure transducer, which operates the dashboard gauge.
