Mudflaps were always an accessory fitment, the moulded ones you mention are called 'Contour'.
You are correct about the headlight adjusters in that they are unnecessary with self-leveling suspension.

I think its related to the anti sink or the height corrector. Had one which did the same once. But it was after being parked for a while, the front end would look very high. You'd get in, start it and it would drop and break wind at the same time! Never did anything else wrong though, so I lived with it!

The tank on the radiator is the expansion tank, and yes you will need a header tank to refil it (or a steep drive!).

Just a quickie: the cooling system on my ZX has no expansion tank - water is filled directly into the radiator.
So how should I bleed it after changing coolant?? Will I need to use a header tank on the radiator as I would if it had an expansion tank?

The Swedish Citroën forum ( has negotiated a deal with a stainless steel exhaust manufacturer and has got a price of 3700SEK = £290 per vehicle for a complete system. The vehicles coverd by this agreement are:
Modellerna som klumpas ihop i detta jobb är:
Citroën XM 2.0TCT Sedan med kat
Citroën XM 2.1TD (helst Sedan) med kat

Just wondered if anybody thinks these prices are right for an Exhaust for a 1991 V6 24v XM. This quote was from Partco.
Centre Section £389.15
Rear Silencer £57.81
Both of those prices quoted above are exclusive of VAT too So thats £525 worth of exhuast!!
If anyone knows where i can get these parts cheaper, then please let me know.
Regards
David.

Hi jon,
Yes it is a very interfering fit!
You will be hard pushed to drift it out, and heat will set fire to the rubber.

Well, GSF and GKN list them as being different, e.g. a GTi/16v and TD are the same, whereas 16/19/17D and 19D are different. As the gearbox types are basically the same (BE1/BE3) and the hubs are the same, I can't quite see why. The only difference is of course if the car has ABS. I will look into this and report back.

Last post

Is the N/S driveshaft on a BX interchangable between a TD and an N/A?
Reason is my N/A has a noisy CV and I have a good shaft on the turbo donor.

Yes it would be dangerous to leave them off. Extremely dangerous.
When you've got no load in the rear of the car, the brake compensator reduces rear brake force accordingly. Without them your brake bias would be very rearward and that would mean that the rear brakes would be prone to locking up long before the fronts are doing much braking. It...

Last post

Hello,
On the back of the ZX volcane with discs, there are those compensator things that (i think) limit flow to the back brakes under heavier braking to prevent lockup.
Has anyone ever removed these when replacing a brake line? Have they been known to fail in the closed position? Would it be dangerous to leave them off?

Front anti-sink valve is under the LHM tank somewhere, and prone to leaking on later cars AFAIK. Should be a case of depressurise system, removing the pipes, unbolting any mountings and replacing it.
