Sorry Skull

Saying it was just a morning's work put a bit of a jinx on it - my apologies

There are two sizes of track rod ends for the Xantia so that one is unlikely to be a Saxo one... The larger engined vehicles use the larger size and it's a minefield as not all parts factors appreciate this...

To be fair that's just the French ones, most of them were saved from the scrap yard, there are plenty of others plus a dozen motorbikes
