All you need do is to loosen the clamp nut and bolt where the hub carrier meets the strut, spread the hub carrier slot, then reposition correctly. There's a raised section on the strut which should sit in the slot.

Right, where I'm at now is that the front rises and falls spot on, whereas the rear falls ok but will only rise once I start to jack it up on the tow bar so I'm guessing something is getting stuck at the rear? Anyone got any ideas at all?

The bellhousing is the large rounded housing that attaches the gearbox to the engine. As you look at the engine, its just to the right or N/S of the engine, the sensor itself is found at the top of the bellhousing.

Do you have a timer? My DTR Turbo does not. The most likely cause is the failure of the switches in the door hinge face. New ones cost about £1.50 from GSF and can be tested by removing one (one screw) and earthing the connection to the bodywork.
Does the lights on buzzer work? Put sidelights on and open the door -?

If you set your suspension to its highest setting (with the engine running), the float should float and register a level, at all other suspensionn heights it just records too high a level. I've had a float sticking, but I think some of the others on here have had on BXs and suchlike.

Is it the seatbelt warning light - or side air bag warning lamp? The former (if fitted - and my 2000 90HDi never had one) is usually a dodgey contact in the drivers seat belt clip point - try spraying and cleaning the contactc with a propriatory cleaner.

Hi
Can anyone help me here? My 2001 Xantia HDi 110 has developed a not serious but never the less agravating habit of the seat belt warning light coming on as you are driving. When you start her up from cold the light goes out as usual and then as you are driving along after about 20 minutes driving on it comes and glares at you from the dash. If...

Shoot me down here but I'd be tempted to remove the engine and box then change the subframe, due to the amount of pipe work around the subframe. It will give you more space to do the swap and will make sure nothing is trapped or damaged in the operation. I suppose it can be done with the power plant in situ but my choice would be to create more...

Foglights don't really need adjusting as they dont have a directional beam, they should throw out a semi circle of light low down in front of the car.. .

I have a dead ZX TD engine I'm going to rebuild. The engine in the car is fine and doesn't need replacing so once the engine is rebuilt I would like to bench test it instead of putting it back in the car. Does anyone have experience of this or is it mad to even think about it without proper workshop facilities?

If its like BX and ZX there is a steel cover on the nearside end of the gearbox and one of the securing bolts is in fact a combined filler and level plug. - its larger and the cover curves around it.
Make sure you use the correct oil otherwise your gearchanges may deteriorate.

I went to a stainless steel exhaust manufacturer called 'Longlife' in Leeds. Cost me £130 ish on my Xsara HDi whereas for a new cat front pipe would have been about £200.
