Where are you going to source them? Do dealers still have availability?

Looks like I can't get the wishbone rubbers from main dealer. All finished with. The motor factors have only one. Looks like that one on eBay will be needed! Pity. I don't like the way it's made.
Thanks again

I actually found the three bushes for 24€ on eBay. I bought 6 sets as I've two other XM's waiting in the wings.
Looks like I'll have it finished by next week end.
One of the bolts taking off the hall bracket is locked into the aluminium. Any suggestions? Hard place to heat up.
But delighted to get them.
I'll keep ur informed!

But I see what you mean. They are great value.
None of the other rubbers though

All fitted.
Off to the NCT on Thursday. It drives great.
Had trouble with the bolts. One sheared. Luckily I got it out and had a spare car.
Had to replace boot lock too.
I put the Xantia accumulator on it. Improved the sink in the back when brakes applied.
I think I'll get a sphere from plaedies for the XM.
There is a hissing noise all the time.
Yes indeed new accumulator
Taking it to Sligo this week.
Time to drive on.
Turby D drives again.
I'll let ye know how she flies

Where did you source all the bushes from and how good quality do you think they are?

Got them off eBay from a guy in Lithuania. Sound to deal with.
Hard to judge quality. Looked the very same as what came off the car. I'll know in a few months.
Still seems to be a problem that Jaap had described on full clockwise lock.
I'll wait till it gets worse to see what it is.
Do you want a link? I bought 6 sets for my other XM's.
