WANTED: passenger side side light

Post by PhilibusMo » Wed Feb 19, 2014 6:37 pm

Hi all,

I have the MOT coming up on my XM this Monday and a suicidal pheasant has taken out my passenger side (Left hand) side light lens.

I need a new unit pretty quickly but it is proving pretty damn difficult to source. Does anyone here have one spare or on a car that is being broken?

I can pay by paypal and need one as soon as possible.

Mine was blown out of the car last week - I got one in France. However, here's one on German ebay http://www.ebay.de/itm/Citroen-XM-Stand ... 43c3806801 by someone who will ship here.

edit - and another http://www.ebay.de/itm/VAN-WEZEL-BEGREN ... 5d495a4814

I take it the one in Poland for £730 isn't tempting you!

I don't think a missing sidelight lens would fail an MOT test.

In honesty, a side lamp for £27 euros is a VERY good price really!

Paul the links /\ are to E-bay.DE and the prices are in €'s not £'s and the €/£ exchange rate may vary dependant on time of purchase too !

So I searched thro' to the German E-bay.de (From Charles links) but using the actual item no's via E-bay.uk so that you get the English page version which gives you the Approx. prices in £'s !

There currently showing as #1 LINK :- £22.92 + £18.07 postage = £40.99 and #2 LINK:- £22.23 + £20.54 postage = £42.77

Which is quite a bit more than £27 (or even €27) ;)

Crikey - didn't look at the postage. I paid £15 for the sidelight from France and about £12 postage.
