Citroen XM Forum

No, the linkage wants just LOTS of Plus gas Penetrating oil on it...

Just seen the pics. Will get on eBay and grab a can. Cheers

What Paul is saying is that other than the risk of a slightly seized corrector rod bearing, there won't be any issue.

Welcome to XM custody Sam

You realise it's a lifelong thing? Once you have one that's it You'll always have one...

Reminds me I must lube up the height correctors on all of mine...

Welcome Sam.

This XM thing gets under your skin . . . no matter what you do.

It's the same as when someone says to you "Urgh Citroen, don't you have all sorts of problems with the suspension, electrics . . ."

"Erm . . . yeah"

Cheers guys. Eddie, I get that from my work colleagues about the zx, and they always seem shocked when I say I've never had an issue.

The collection trip is confirmed. My step dad is driving me up to Campbell's on Sat the 12th in the morning (fully expensed company fuel card ftw) then drive home again.

Can't flipping wait! Already thinking about audio...

Absolutely. I check over all my cars once a week and leap on any small issues I find immediately before they grow into something big.

Touch-wood I've been left stranded once by a Citroen and that was when an ignition coil on a V6 Xantia failed totally out of the blue as they do. That could have happened to any car of any age at any time...

Apart from that one incident, totally reliable and trustworthy.

Isn't checking everything weekly a bit of overkill....Oops, forgot, you drive petrol engined cars...
