Wanted parts

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.

RE: Towbars..

the Exposed Towbars if circular tubing is a Citroen Original unit.. and they ROT!

The hidden ones behind the bumper, or the exposed SQUARE box bars are also relativly rot free..

The one on my road car is a square type and looks like something from Mad max, the "hidden" type I have from my spares car is very crusty, but solid and is an aftermarket type.

I had a spares car a while ago that had a genuine Citroen tow bar and it had rotted and been repaired with fibreglass! Every inch was a mass of flaking, crunching iron oxide.

DaveThe Rave does indeed have repro washer covers and is a real gent to deal with: just make sure for the avoidance of confusion that N/S in French parlance is O/S in English, and vice versa. :?

Would like keypad cover myself if there are any more going begging? The problem would seem to be the catch at the front (rear?) which doesn't grip the spigot when you push it down. Is there a fix? :(

I just cut the corner of the cover. If you do it right and make it nice and smooth, it looks very much like originally intended. [emoji1]
