Hello,
just before leaving the house, I found out somebody is offering the complete DIRAVI steering for a very decent prize. The thing is it is supposed to come from a V6 12v car, which I'm not sure has even had DIRAVI (mainland europe, steering wheel on the right side). Can anybody enlighten me, ie. has there been the DIRAVI steering on a V6 12v car (I have no further information about that right now). thanks! PS: I quickly skimmed over my XM catalog, until I realized it's an English catalog, and I remember somebody here mentioning that English cars were never fitted with DIRAVI (I found no mention of it under a "Power assisted steering" heading) -------------------- XM V6 24v manual, 1991, green

DIRAVI was sold in mainland European countries ie. France/Germany/Holland etc and only
fitted on the v6 12v and 24v although I'm not sure if it was a cost option on differing levels of trim specification. It would be wrong to assume it was standard on all these v6 models but it certainly never got fitted on a right hand drive UK spec car from new. The rack and governor do appear on ebay from time to time and will cost around 100-200 EURO. Andrew |

Hi Andrew I think it was a standard for any PRV V6 (12v, 24v), any year. cheers George -------------------- XM '94 V6 12v, manual, Diravi - Mark "1.5" in black - bought: 138,000mls now: 167,000 miles

In 2 hours, I should know whether or not I've won in an auction that offers the part for cca 17 EUR. The sellers claims it's fully functional and comes from an abandoned XM car that was apparently standing in the garage for some time (the car is disassembled at the time). I just wasn't sure the v12 were fitted with DIRAVI and so wasn't sure the seller isn't not knowledgeable enough to know what he's selling (as I'm not that knowledgeable about what I'm buying either). And for that price, I don't really risk much! thanks for your help both of you! -------------------- XM V6 24v manual, 1991, green

Hi Y
It was only ever fitted to XMs with the PRV V6 engines. cheers G -------------------- XM '94 V6 12v, manual, Diravi - Mark "1.5" in black - bought: 138,000mls now: 167,000 miles

I also believe it was only fitted to Mark 1 (before facelift) V6s, as I've driven a steering wheel on left side post facelift V6 with regular steering only, too

And it was only fitted to LHD cars as there is, apparently, not enough room on RHD cars to fit DIRAVI.
I have never seen or heard of a RHD DIRAVI XM and I have seen and driven cars as mentioned above - ie S1 24v, PRV etc etc. -------------------- Craig Keller
