Selling off one (or bits
) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Hi,
I need to renew, ideally, the two rearmost parts of the exhaust on my '97 16V. Any suggestions on the best places to get them from / places to avoid? Even better if someone out there has got the parts lying about in their garage / shed!
There's a few on ebay but would rather see them before I buy after some recent experiences with a washing machine motor!
The closer to Huddersfield the better.

Ebay would be the first place to look but otherwise I have found these people very good

Hmmmm I thought they were good peter, but after a couple of orders, no so perfect...
I ordered a middle sideways and rear box for a TCT Turbo, the Rear box would no way mate up to the sideways point...
No so good... so Im a little reserved, I beleve other people have had other problems with them too...

Hi Paul
I must admit that the centre box I got for the wifes ZX didn't fit very well, but it was the only place I could find one!

Were quite lucky up here, we have a local indi called "Barnes Exhausts" CUstom made, or OEM supplied...
IE: If I wanted the "cats" removed from my S1 24v V6 XM, I could take the 'cats' to them and they would copy the pipe shape! They arent ready to be removed just yet though....
Stainless, etc etc... Ive personally not used them yet, but hear a lot about them.. Prices very reasonable too... IE: dad bought a front to rear pipe for a Xantia TD, No Cat, 25 quid.. IIRC...

Useful to know Paul. When I did diesel conversions I used to go to 'Wigan Road Springs' and they would make them to virtually any specification I wanted - don't find many places like that any more.
