Good trade. Wine must be in food. Grappa is for drinking.

The hydraulics have improved since. I once owned a BX diesel and cos of it's weight it drove perfectly. When it was in repair I borrowed a BX light, the comparison with a boat makes sense.

They most certainly have not. They've been cheapened drastically.

Sounds like two very shagged out BXs...

It sure was heavy. That's why it drove so smooth, like being on a track.

My XM comes close to the BX diesel I had. The suspention on the diesel was better.

The BX TRD was great, the borrowed ones were junk.

Thanks for explaining. Didn't have any problems with that. Should have, but didn't. Racing was not possible with the car. It was way underpowered with only a small 1.9, no turbo, engine (50 bhp or so). Near Lyon, going North, up hill, with a caravan behind it was total horror. It could only pull in first gear.

The "cleverness" has increased. The build quality has decreased, drastically.

Hardly survived the e1100 bill I had to pay a few weeks ago.. Exhaust, rear brakes and some onther stuff. I was to late with the exhaust. The cat rattles. I'll let it rattle for a while. I'm broke for the time being. New cat costs approx e1200. Front weels are beginning to shine. This is a depressing post.

You're surely not asking a Citroen dealer about the parts, are you?

There's umpteen discount cat suppliers online.

Two secs with google came up with XM petrol cats costing about £150 from

Now I am depressed. Paid e900 for a new cat just a few years ago. The rattling of the cat is my own fault. The exhaust was broken but I continued to drive a few days.

Thanks for the link.
