Citroen XM Forum

Thanks guys, but im still booking in a plumber i met yesterday to replace all the lead pipes in the bathroom....once the bathroom is done the walls and floor will be tiled. I dont want any unreliable piping underneath it as it will mean destroying the tiling to fix any problems. Its money well spent i think getting a pro to come in and do the job. Yes sure it will be money i could well save, but i am still coming down on sunday anyway so what the hell....ive had enough of DIY as it is

Yes please Id like to test the rears on mine, but i dont know if these are going to be removeable on a showfield or not? Im sure they are due replacing.....feels a bit firmer than id like it on the back.

The short answer to that is NO. Not unless someone brings ramps and fancies lying down in the grass, or finding a road to lie on and has tools.


Anyone?

No, it's not floating my boat Will... In the past I've done it and even re-sealed an Activa Ram in a rally field but sadly those days for me are truly in the past

Quite happy to bring a Pleiades tool with me if anyone fancies doing it for Vince...

Didnt think it would be possible.....never mind, ill just replace them at some point myself. Ive got a proper sphere tool myself now ; )

Hi,

Not been on here for a while..... my XM's been very poorly following a broken cambelt. However, it's now back on the road so you can add another XM to the numbers for Sunday

I decided not to go for a diesel conversion as it will now be doing very little mileage. So it's still a 16V and runs beautifully.... and now it's not my main car I can spend some time sorting out it's little "foibles". Can't wait.

See you there,

Andy.

Nice one Andy, it seems like we are going to have quite a turnout tomorrow....

I'll see you all tomorrow

Looking forward to it immensely..

Safe journey everyone...

We've scouted Stamford for you, it is actually very very nice around here. Blue skies, like I haven't seen for ages

Things are pretty much there now, we're all set! Got the stage of all cars packed and hopefully nothing has been forgotten... The C4 is rather full, cheaper than lowering springs...

So, just a repeat of a few details for you:

The full address is Burghley House, Stamford, Lincolnshire, PE9 3JY so if you've got a sat nav stick that postcode in and it'll take you there (hopefully!). If not then here's an overview of the area - main entrance is mentioned, and the other Tag is where our area is.



...here's the main entrance that you'll want to be aiming for:



Hopefully they'll have fixed the sign since Google's been around...
