Citroen XM Forum

Paul, you are a star. The R clip is free as a bird. I have had it out and dropped the front of the strut to access the gaiter. I also took out the suspension feed pipe and the retaining wire. I couldnt get the strut out. I assumes the wire clamp holding the top of the gaiter on was the problem. I didn't want to pull it off anf give myself another job!
All help and support greatly appreciated. I shall chuck all my jacks, stands and field plinths into the back of the wreck next weekend.

HUGE thank you to Paul for bringing and fitting a replacement rear strut to the X Rally.

There was some rather anxious looks from fellow Citroen owners when the saw the surgery taking place in the grassy grounds of a historic building

Needless to say Paul was successful and the final score was: Wiltshire to Leicestershire 1 litre LHM, Leicestershire to Wiltshire 0 Litres LHM. A clear winner for the Welsh(ish) team!!!

Other than a rather tedious return journey it was a great day.

Excellent to see some old faces from CXM Rallies of Yore and put some new faces to names on the forum.

Thanks for all the encouraging words about the car (I know you were just being nice!!!)

Rob

Glad to have made a scucess of it!

As for car.. no we werent being nice we were being honest. Just look at the photos.. any one took one of mine? NO .. yours yes.. over in other areas i noticed a picture of the first three .. will and mathews two.. then Paul stringers black one then ooo hang on camera angle and position change .. the rest of the line up.. mine.. missed out.

So no.. yours was way nicer then mine.. in order i think mine was at the bottom of the xm assending condition order...

Bet you didn't wash it again Paul!
Not seen it in the flesh Rob but it does look very tidy in the photo's, very tidy.
Didn't realise you went to the cxm meets, did you have the silver CX turbo with the nice alloys?

Course not Dean..... did polish the dash though.. but after the flying wheels and smashed mirrors you start to loose heart!!
