It was good of you to setup the special bright lighting behind the trees, made your images look lots better.
You have performed a nice transformation from a dumped car to a very nice example.
As far as the strut tips go, I don't think there is an issue, but check them from underneath with both front wheels hanging.
Thanks! Yes that's how it is. All the ES9s that I have seen to date in Spain are automatic.
Thanks for the appreciation, I will review it but ...xantia_v6 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 6:42 pmLooking at your engine bay, the LH (driver's side) strut to and sphere appear to be a few mm higher (closer to the scuttle rail) than the RH ones. This could just be as a result of the way the car is parked, or could be an indication that the rubber in the strut top is starting to separate.
I would suggest that you measure it with the car on a flat surface and the steering pointing straight ahead, and if it is the case, you should consider getting the strut tops rebuilt before you have a failure.
Thanks for the tips. Also with your help it has been possible to restore from a car destined for scrapping.Dieselman wrote: ↑Wed Jan 05, 2022 6:41 amNice photo's of a great looking Xm.
