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.

Lost a cover for the very useful head lamp washer. Anyone having one left lying around? It's the driver's side one.

I believe you are still able to get these from Citroen for £35 each!
Davetherave on the French Car Forum has made some moulds up to
make new ones at an affordable price too which is worth considering.

I'll be after a pair too soon so that is useful to know. Of course getting the washers working in the first place would be an idea really!

I reckon yours do technically work Rohan. If you put some water in the tank you may well find you end up with a very impressive fountain from the broken one. We should all now take bets on how high it'll go :lol: :lol:

If it helps, the guts of the washers look the same as on a Xantia although the covers are very different.

I have them available for £12.50 a cover inc P+P. I have more drivers side than the other at the moment! Need to make some more at some point!

They are replicas and come in primer and are not as perfect as the original citroen ones but I have had no complaints yet!

If the headlamp washer jets are defective the they often leak.
The tank then empties under gravity.
