revised introduction

Post by peter higginson » Thu Aug 01, 2013 8:36 am

Hi, I posted the message below, but forgot to say that the cables I referred to were the front window cables. Sorry!

I am the proud owner of the late Dr. Alex Moulton’s 1998 Citroen XM V6 Exclusive which I purchased in 2010 when it had done 70,000 miles (some 85,000 now). Its a beautiful car (see http://www.aronline.co.uk/blogs/news/al ... -for-sale/). When I met him at his house, with three Mini's parked outside and a Rolls in the garage, he said it was his favourite car, with a suspension far superior than the Rolls. He was selling as was getting a bit elderly. A very lovely man who wanted it to go to a good home, and knowing I had had numerous Citroens before (DSs, 2CVs, CXs, XMs), generously reduced the price.

All is well, barring both cables snapping virtually at the same time a couple of months ago, and will shortly have time to fix them. Purchased the cables from e-crofting, but I know it will be a fiddly business. Any suggestions?

Hi peter.. welcome to our fourm..

Just a little note. If you could go back to your first intro you can edit your post correctly to say window cables..

We can then remove this topic and prevent two intros of the same topic and any confusion.

Cheers.

You just can't get the staff these days can you Paul :twisted:

Perhaps if you locked this thread it might stop complete idiots like me posting where they shouldn't ;) :lol:
