Selling off one (or bits

) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

With reference to Roberts Signiture, anyone want to take a guess at which one is not mot'd??
My guess is the BX.

thanks paul i feel a whole lot better now

you could always restore it for me and i buy it back

did hear that knocking noise? do you know what it is? you found the rust hole yet? you can stick your finger in it! front sphere's are you sure? they were replaced in march last year.
but yeah it's a great drive and economical to boot too

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.
