Headlamp washer

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

ditto, next month. Connect the abs warning light with the battery warning light :) Gonna have to sort it out really soon now.
I still don't see the logic - take out the abs parts and it is not a problem. Maybe this procedure will give light to the failing part :)

I assume your dotmatirx does not work then! I suppose you could set it to french so the tester does not know what its saying when it would be saying 'ABS OUT OF USE'

I don't have a Dot matrix on this XM, not all XM's have one.

no I am a big fan of gaffer tape, just a bigger fan of it being a temporary fix and not permanant..I'id rather have them working!

gaffer tape has its uses...

It's very good to make temporary bungs for the front wing mudshields where the bumper bolts are accessed.

And it's great for repairing splits in turbo hoses. I had a 110HDi Xantia once with a pipe so repaired. lasted for months!

Thanks XMX :D The only problem is I never ever go to a breakers and I'm very unlikely to in the foreseeable...

I don't get on well with breakers :evil:

I'm more likely to go to a Pug dealer and get them if they're not NFP...
