New owner soon?

Post by Miles » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:50 pm

Hi from leafy Berkshire, at least that's what estate agents say. I haven't noticed it being more leafy than other places.

My name is Miles and I'm after an XM of some description. Not frightened of a bit of work.Or one thats been off the road for a long time. Or one that's up and going.

Please let me know what you have available.:)

Miles

Citroen dealers are supposed to have a right angle measuring gauge.
Part number is 2305T.
This avoids going under the car to measure.
Measuring to the wheel arch may give a rough guide.
I went and checked my car on the drive: Front 695mm, Rear 580mm.
Hopefully a few others will check theirs and list them.
Maybe also find someone who has compared this measure with the official check.
