The cable on the P-reg is always adjusting through the spring on the clutch itself! Its the way it is designed!

Forget about the a/s sphere.
You still have a simple mechanical problem with moving the HC's valve rod. The HC is a slide valve, and in principle will last forever as it does not contain wearparts. But external problems in the linkage like dirt & rust may make it stick in some positions.

Mate,
If it's leaking from there, I think the problem is much greater than something a bit of thread tape will fix.
I've had that 12mm bolt completely out & no LHM has come out.
I'd be more inclined to think it may be a leak up from it that is dripping down on it.
That bolt really only releases an internal pressure that allows the return line to...

Hi, the trouble is as described above - the pressure regulator is greasy with LHM leaking around its relief screw (M12, the one released 1.5 turn when depressurizing the system).
I never tried to remove the screw all its way to Reno, i.e. the legendary small ball is still supposed to be there.
Is it reasonable to try putting some gaskets under the...

You can't get the gaitors on their own but you can get a repair kit which includes the gaitors and slider for £25ish, very model/year dependant though as there are quite a few different brake sizes fitted to Xantias.

Just been reading a thread on here about the BX register, and wondered how many of us have XMs.
As there were only something like 45,000 sold in the UK, there probably aren't as many remaining as the BX, but it would be nice to know how many of us have them.
Also, is anyone considering meets for all Citroen owners on here?

Hi
Although both Citroen and Valeo say that the clutches chnage from the metal bearing to the plastic one in 4/89, in reality, for RHD cars this is not the case.
If you have the bolt on type lever arm that pushes a clutch rod, adjusted with 13mm nut, then regardless of the age of the car, then you have a metal release bearing = early clutch

If you've run the CV joint dry (i.e. without any grease) for any distance at all, you will have ground all the moving parts with road dust (about as lubractive as valve grinding paste).
