Re: jamescarruthers Knows how to use the parking brake
I had a cracked gearstick handle, replaced it with a very good used one. No visible cracks at all. Next day it had cracked so badly it was worse than the original.

The auto gear knob should still be available new from Citroen as the part matches the ZX! Regards, Matthew T.

Fits the Xantia and Xsara as well. But don't forget what John said about the probable 15-year shelf life.MTXM wrote:The auto gear knob should still be available new from Citroen as the part matches the ZX! Regards, Matthew T.
Awaiting the stories about attempts to glue it all back together

I think it is in the section for removing the centre console. I read it while dismantling my parts car a couple of months ago.Jan-hendrik wrote:Umm, where in the manual is this description?xantia_v6 wrote:Haynes (for once) gives a good description of the procedure.
