Citroen XM Forum

i can well imagine Robert!
Nice to see you all over the weekend, and thanks to John for bringing up the goodies for me and Jim for breaking out the lexia and making a rear ram bush for the activa too!
There were a lot of nice cars there including Pauls 24v sporting that half washed spoiler which sounded lovely, even with a slight blow.
i take it everyone got back ok? i made good time to the ferry but then had to wait for an hour to get on a boat.

Got back fine, thanks, after going to the pub to eat, that is..

What a shame Jim only made you a strut bush instead of taking you out in his Activa for half an hour...

Strut top changes can definitely be done in 15 minutes if pushed...

I'd like to mirror the comments of you all, .... what a superb weekend, after arriving at 2pm friday, .... no one there
But was truly a superb weekend, great to meet you all, and put faces to names

Would like to thank Paul for the help with the Lexi on my car, good to know iv'e only got to change the knock sensor, you where all a great help and a superb bunch of guys which made me feel that i could ask anything, and get a sensable answer

The test drive in Pauls 24v was something i will remember for a long time ,

Once again thanks to you all for making it such a welcoming event , and i will see you all next year for the same.

Thanks to Jim, for giving me some fag papers, !!! it really is in the middle of no where.

Liqourice papers at that, before i gave up i used to love them!!
Pauls 24v is some car, its just a shame they are so rare, he has got it in the right colour too!.

Strut top changes can definitely be done in 15 minutes if pushed...

I was a little worriecd about the fact my bonnet was open while i was out playing in a C6, i bet you could beat 15mins if you had too
Pub lunch eh some of us had to make do with a service station sandwhich

D

Is that what those papers where !

Wasn't quite sure , thay looked like my kitchen worktops on one side

certanly a taste to remember but got me by till i got back into civilization to bye some good old'e grren ones .

Good to meet you Dean, lovely Xm, and so glad it picked up an award

It's a credit to you

So where are ALL the pictures for those that couldn't make it?

The s1 24v growl is quite menacing and truly addictive - the
acceleration is almost a side effect.

Funny, mine has a faint blow too - the front poxy flexi cat...

reading between the lines I'm surprised there wasn't an outbreak of salmonella.

Nigel:

it was good to catch up at the weekend - definitely going next year....

I had a thought: Have you applied Autosol creme paste (it's sold as metal polish, I know) as it's a well thought of cure for 'fogged' plastic lenses....

A good tip is to wear disposable rubber gloves and apply it with your finger (easier to control and you get little waste). Rub it in evenly and give it some welly, rub off and buff up with a micro fibre cloth. Try it out, it's gotta be worth it?

Oh and photograph a before and after - because if it does work well, it's a good tip to pass on on the forum!

and you and yours!,the award was............unexpected shouldnt really of been sat in the field watching Jim playing with the Lexia, i thought it was JUST the raffle going on up there

D

Sorry Andrew i forgot my camera...........
i will second the above tip, a bit of metal polish will sort out scratched plastics too, i do the rear light units and tinted boot panel with it and it works a treat

For fogged and crazed sidelights and side chrome trims try some fine wet 'n dry first. About 1200-2000 grade is good.
