Is it just my end of the world blocking the FCF/BXC servers, or have they gone awry?

And, just to add a little discussion, why were RHD XMs never fitted with variable PAS as came on the 605?

Adam.. i have an fcf issue too but it may be a while XA and citrojim will be at the xm and cx with xantia rally today so they won't be on to check.. might just send Jim a quick text and let him know..

xm pas used the bx derived system which was of their own type.. 605 had normal car pas setup and not citroen type which is my guess.. i know you mean variable. remembering that originally the xm was divari originally in France..

The XM/605 racks here, seem pretty much interchangeable in physical size - I just robbed a 605 spare rack to fix an XM unit. Ram eye bushes may differ in OD, but that's about all.

I know the LHD cars had Diravi, but with all the other doo-dads on offer for upspec'ed XMs in RHD you'd have thought the variable PAS had a place...

Hi Adam :D

The FCF and BXC were perfect, no problem at all if you were sitting on top of the servers but from nowhere else. It was all a problem with the dynamic DNS.

Yep, both Xac and I were at CXM but to his incredible credit, Xac sorted it sitting in the sunshine at Bletchley Park using his iPad :D

All fixed now :D
