Citroen XM Forum

I Shall be there all weekend. Most likely in my Gs.
Look forward to meeting you all. Paul

Most likely in my Gs.

Nooooo, bring a XM Paul and preferably the V6! It is the 30th Birthday after all! With regards, Matthew T.

I need to take the engine out to fix the exhaust manifolds. I also have a leaking steering rack and an gearbox linkage that falls off regularly. Unfortunately that is the ball on the gearbox and not the linkage I've plenty of spares of.

For the gearbox linkage, just go underneath with a welder and weld the pressed in ball back into the arm. A permenent fix in two minutes.

I was sorry to hear about the issues with your V6 and I am guessing that is Andy's old car? I had the same gear change linkage problem with my 2.0i turbo and I managed to find a replacement ball with a screw and nut fitting. With regards, Matthew T.

That would be helpful Matthew. The edge of mine has worn flat so it's undersized.

Unfortunately I cannot remember where I sourced the replacement part, which I think was from another part of a spare linkage! With regards, Matthew T.

Please also see my thread on the XM 30th birthday with initial details of the 'fringe event' this weekend and everyone please do come if you can! Regards, Matthew T.

What about the French one at La Ferte Vidame in July - any one from here going?

Yes, I will be there!! Regards, Matthew T.
