Hi
Anyone out there used any good mechanics / specialists who are good value for money and know XM's. I want to have the suspension on mine given the once over, I think the ride height at the front is too high and the spheres at the back seem to give quite a bumpy ride. I live in Northampton but will be willing to travel within reason. I have considered a trip to Westroen spheres in Manchester, but do they check over the complete suspension or just fit spheres. Any info gratefully received. Cheers Geoff -------------------- 1995 S2 Citroen XM 2.1 td VSX estate

Westroen always used to fit and check height adjusters too so it doessn't take a great leap to suggest giving your suspension a full check-up. Sounds like you'll need some spheres too, so that's a good starting point.
Give Doug a call - they're very good. I'd trust them. They know their Citroens. -------------------- '99 'V' XM 2.0 CT VSX Auto Estate RP 8360 Green.

I Too second that they changed all 8 of my spheres and removed the Lhm tank and cleaned the filters then refilled the system with new Lhm, It felt like a new car.
