So true.

Did you just use underseal on the cleaned metal??

Thanks. No I treated with Kurust before and after for which I drilled 2 holes. Applied a lot of Kurust and use airgun to spread in between. After that I coated the metal and welds with zinc primer twice.
(@Jim in between I decided to clean my workshop 'kitchen' and even did some paint work there )
Afterwards I applied underseal and next week will waxoil the inner works as well. Should hold out for a while.

That’s not going to give any further trouble Jaap

Just got the message that now this XM, ALSO is showing the HATED orange ABS light, once again........

AAAAAAARRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[so smug someone will string me up mode] What's ABS? [/so smug someone will string me up mode]

NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! oh dear Jaap....what are you doing to them!

I let them work - that's all! I don't buy them to look at them! Give me some moral support here!

It'll be alright Jaap. Honest. Don't worry, everything will be okay..... That enough moral support!


I don't know...looking at them is far less expensive...

Don't you have some spare sensors from the black scrapper? At least it is a Teves system, if they were both Bendix it could be a lot worse.

Jaap, here's another bootful of moral support...

Every Citroen I have ever owned has needed ABS sensors so I have heaps of empathy...

Mine too jim Liz just got home and the light did NOT come on. So not too bad there. Possibly a duff rear sensor But they are easy to find.
Will have a go at the Turbo now, wish me luck, not in the right mood really...
