In all seriousness, I asked because depending on the engine, the job can be easy or bloody awful. An 8V non-turbo is pretty easy, the 16V not bad, the TCT is a horror - worse by far than the doing the job on a TCT XM - and the V6, well, it's twice the work but two heads are better than one
If we can get it sorted for some time next year, then the intention is for it to be open all Citroen models, with a emphasis on the hydropneumatic variants. Franklin has suggested holding it at Barry Anellis's place at Bourne Citroen. Watch this space, as they say.
Indeed, spoke to Alan and he reckons it's a go-er however I will speak to Barry about it (obviously it's up to him) at the next East Midlands Group Meet which is next weekend.
This weekend the xantia petrol one 16 valve will be decapitated. I think the job would be virtually similar on the XM 2 liter 16valve but I don't ever want to do that!

Cheers Franklin. Also just double check camping is ok.

No probs Mark - this is another thing we'll have a chat about too as there's not a huge amount of grassed area really, although I'll sure we'll be able to sort something out.

An easy job and you might just find if you pull the adjuster knob up it re-engages with the cable drive of the headlight.
To get proper access remove the sidelights then the nose-cone and all will be revealed.
