By christ they can get noisy quick and if you just leave it, like i did, it sends your ride height all unusual at speed. I assume the extra flappy about movement on the front ARB makes the height corrector go a bit odd.

Its fixed now, but not before i nicked a hole in the steel gearbox end cover, im not convinced i should be working on cars anymore.

Can probably bung you a spare cover mate! Tell what I've noticed, some (most - probably non genuine ones but I can't confirm this) have only small amount of movement in the joint that fits in the wishbone. The others have much more range. I wonder if the limited movement leads to a short life???????

they sure as hell aint made like what they used to be, I change mine every year now..

Bear in mind Matt's BX is a 14TU, so the end covers are different.. Sadly, I dont got any.

[Stinkwheel(Matt)]

Thanks for the offer Bandito but Docs right, 14. But not to worry, i used chemical steel on the nick, job jobbed, in theory temporary but knowing me, probably be there forever

[Father Ted]

Anyone know if the C8 has them?
I have a helluva rattle over pot holes from the NS.

[Bx Bandit]

Ah ok Matt/Doc, did na know that be different!

Your C8 will have drop links father, but rather probably a different design - does the same job though

[docchevron132]

lomg things on a C8, very thin looking wank things frankly..

Indeed! Did mine for the MOT in December, one is wank already (actually last month or so)... cheap shite, that's about £2 a month on a droplink...

[Bx Bandit]

I *think* that AEP will do original shit, so, if you can combine a load of service parts/oil etc to get it over £50 then dely is free.

As an aside, next time I do an order, I'll post up on here and we can all enjoy free dely for stuff!

Marty, if yours are the same as an XM, then I have a very low mileage used one for you. Let me know model and year of C8 and I'll check on Citroen Service. i can then post with that CB ariel I promised you 10 years ago!

Its a 2007 HDi 2.0 16v.
Woulnt have thought XM bits fit as its a Relay van underneath.

There's a new company on the net H.A.M.P. Products doing them for around £45 a pair.
That is all

facking different.....worth a look though

[Stinkwheel(Matt)]

hmmm, so you could get a relay and do a custom job for your own unique people carrier!!!!

[Philhod]

I used to buy a kit for mini vans. Came with a template for cutting the side panel and either a cheap fixed glass window or fancy sliding units.

Also a rear seat unit that folded flat.
Did dozenz of them in the late 60's to 70's ( well a lot anyway)

[Father Ted]

Dad had his fathers Bedford HA van (1967) when I was a nipper. He chopped out the back panels and put some windows in, a seat from the scrappers bolted to the floor with child reins nailed to it for my seatbelt.
Ahh, the 70's - the decade where H&S could go and take a running jump!

Only until 1974!!

Trouble with HA vans was, the mods would last longer than the body.
