sending xm to the scrappers soon. anyone want it?

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

yes.. the date on the spheres were from 2004.. so a little on the harder side rather then soft but by no means hard...

yes i heard the npise on the drivers side.. i specifically drove over cats eyes for a while to try an ascertain what was making the noise.. dont onow yet. will shout when i do find out..

ah right, yeah that makes sense, i did think it was abit hard as it used to bottom out abit on multiple bumps. my mechanic must of done the rears and the hydroactive sphere's then.

the drop links have been replaced, my guess it might be wishbone bushes? there should be a brown jiffy bag with 4 bushes in amongst the spares in the boot.
