I Dont want sporty ride

Citroens were made for a SMOOTH SOFT ride! NOT a sports car ride!

Jim, You wait till you see my TD SX, which incidentally, passed MOT with 4 advisories today at 220k...

"Hydractive is g.....awd damm annoying!"

CitroJim are you able to carry out these repairs or are you more of an advisor on this forum? 8)

Never, ever worry about going off-topic in this forum

It is encouraged as some very interesting discussions result from it.

And banter (such as what is going on between Paul and I over Hydractive) is perfectly normal on here. This is a very, very friendly forum... Thought I'd better explain that before you wondered what was going on. As I say, all very normal on here...

You just wait until you have had a spin in my Activa Paul

Yes, I am and by appointment and after the snow has melted, we can do. I also have a speed sensor here so we could look at that at the same time...

I'm not a tremendous distance away from you...

Hi brmartyn, welcome to the forum

I had wondered what had happened to stevetheskaterboy, as last i heard he was in Finland, seems the car had a good trip there and back then. It did look very smart in the pictures he posted of it.

Enjoy your Xantia ownership

RE: ACtiva: Yea they are the ones that are rock solid on corners arent they! And dont lean

My TD goes round corners quite well, albeit on two wheels

Couldn't afford the tyres they have an appitite for

CitroJim I look forward to meeting with you at some point and thank you for your posts so far. On looking on Google maps I see your just North of Milton Keynes so not too far to travel at all.

I'm glad you like my new car Paul thank you

I drive a Series one, 1994 L reg TD SX, but I do actually prefer the Series 2 car from 1998 onwards..

Id have to have a HDi 110bhp model to replace this ole TD if ever she decides shes had enough...

But at 220k I cant see that happening just yet!
