OK, jack the front up as high as you can safely support it. Leave the arse on the ground and chock. Pull up the rubber grommet around the base of the steering column - you can then do a lot of the work through there. Read the PDF

There are a number of vulnerable rusting places visible from that angle and this van has them all. Only the ones near the headlight are a bit hard to cut out and replace because there is a brace behind that traps the humidity and now gets in the way of the welding and cutting. The real problem spot is invisible. It is the box sections under the floor. If they need replacing it is a skilled welding job which here requires costly inspection as...

na just leave it there, so 2BXORNOT2BX knows that I will not be drawn into HIS little battle of words

Do you have the charge lamp hooked up? From what I've been able to gather, without that, there will be no charge. Bill Well....... no... that's what's got me .... um ...... confused ! I know some alternators need to connect through a lamp to earth, while...

Only with Citroen? The car has decided that is DOES have central locking after all. All I did was drive the car about 20m to the other end of the underground parking area. I then put the back door cards on, opened and closed the hatch maybe twice, drove the car 20m back to the garage and then tried the central locking and PRESTO, it worked! Now it is just a case of waiting until it reappears. Unless there is a counter that only allows the...

The only things that the panelbeaters removed were the exterior door...

That might explain why the ride isn't so good with my Bob Jane T-Mart specials on the CX compared with the previous "French Rubber" it used . Very elastic and caring when considering ride performance. Yes we are talking about cheap transport as a criteria at this time. All the best,

Have a look at the front of right rear wheel when the car is on low setting and see how close it is to the fuel filler pipe it is a bit frightening as when we got our car it had 215/17/50 tires and wheels !

Most unusual, perhaps it should have 50 bar...or maybe 40 bar. Depends how strictly the rules apply as to application and dates. Interesting, perhaps the spheres are original to the car, it is possible. Either way, I could recharge them, or you could buy new ones from Chris. Mike, you have options, what a wonderful position to be in :-) cheers richo
