Ok, and don't say an Xm estate rear suspension cylinder!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-XM-ESTATE ... 0057585450
Since when was there a non hydractive Right hand drive Xm estate?
TBH, it doesn't look like anything I'd expect to see at the back end of any Xm.

Ah that was for the non hydractive..........non hydraulic R/H drive xm estate Andrew, now you have something to mount those coil springs you tracked down onto.
Surprised you of all people didnt know that xms came with Mc bouncy struts as standard

More's the pity they all do come with McFearsome struts (or is that loathsome?).
You could get very spoilt by the double wishbones and centrepoint steering/geometry on a G and Cx...

Did you see the fantastically rare Monroe shockers for a Xantia I found on FCF the other day?
You just wouldn't find these rare gems anywhere else but ebay...

Im not listening Andrew, have you not been warned about trying to tempt already weak citroen owners into Cx ownership before?................ (drool drool)..... no! im not listening
And yes i did see that, you really must get the shocks too! to complete the set, could be worth a fortune in years to come as parts dry up

Is that the same guy that is selling springs for the CX as well!!
Dean, you know you have to get a CX! I think a GTI Turbo 2 would be just the ticket for you. I am really enjoying my CX this week, it reallly is an excellent way to travel. I am even seriously contemplating using it as my daily runner for a while when I eventually get a job that is nearer home, when the costs savings of a diesel are less noticeable. I think if you ask Andrew nicely, he could put you in the direction of a nice cx in his fleet!

Yes you have me sussed, a GTI Turbo2 would be the one i would go for, when the house is done in a few years (when we eventualy move in that is) i was going to treat myself to a Quattro but i would like a CC equally i think.
