Not sure I have. I do have the Xantia_Evasion_Xm guide.
Do you have links to the others.

I do have that already, but thanks.
So 0.6mm is correct for a series 1 car, which is presumably why they ride a bit brittle.
I'll have a play as 0.7 seems much better.

Forgive my bad technical English but what do you mean with brittle in this case? I'm looking for new spheres so I have to look for spheres for series 2 instead of 1 or do you get them drilled to 0.7 mm?

Just a harsher ride I think Jaap. Picks up jolts and ridges a little too much compared to S2.

There is nothing wrong with the series 2 ride. Its fine. The 16v is the lightest of xms. Diesels at heavy enough to be fine also.

No, didn't mean they had an issue.... I think Will means that S2 models ride a little better than S1 cars.

They do, because the damper orifices are larger.

They both have their charms. I prefer the series 2. They are better made.

Both have good and bad points.
