Did they fit a new anti roll bar as well as drop links?

Remote packed up earlier in the week. Got around to checking the battery today.
Turned them around and off it went!
Must change them though.
Is the light flashing normal when you lock the car on the key?

Another month and not too much to report.
A friend was using the car for a couple of days and got the clutch stuck to the floor twice!
Any ideas? I have not been able to repeat said incident- thankfully.
The clutch has always been quite heavy. Is that normal?

Fuel consumption continues in the low 40s.
Reached 168,000 miles today.
Still love her. My friend didn't but I have decided to christen her Helene in his honour...
All his girlfriends were called Helen but his wife isn't :D

That would require a much larger deposit I am sure ;)

Even an old Citroen doesn't cost as much to run as a wife.

I would think twice about putting that in the back of the car!!!

Not sure the good lady looks too closely at the back of the XM but................!
