That C5 I bought last week came with an eye screwed in and now I have the tailgate open I find the original one still in with the spare wheel so I've got two..........are they the same as the Xantia?

The one's a bit bent but if it'll do you can have it.

Many thanks for the offer : I "think" the C5 ones do not fit as they have a smooth section before the thread and no flared collar......not sure if the thread is different as well.

I think the Xsara one is the same....

Yep, the smooth section between the thread and the collar is the problem on the Xantia...

The correct fitting is a thread up to the collar

Thanks for looking however mate...

I wouldn't concern yourself with what a chicken thinks - they've got no clucking idea :lol:
