Davie's french attraction.

[daviemck2006]

At least it is all in the plastic of the rear door so no going rusty, but it's a pain. The other little ding in the wheel arch was there when I bought the car, and also there when Chris bought the car so it's old! It will get done as the door shut needs painted anyway, it is a silver hammerite bit at the moment.

I noticed a crease on the f/n/s wing today on the Synergie. Right on the swage line about 3 inches back from the indicator. I'd like to crease their car with a ball pein and see how they like it. I find it so annoying. Its our throwaway society, its only a car there's another one up the road when that one's knackered.

It's only a car, but it's my car, and my baby. It maybe does need a clean but I look after this one. I'll bet they won't bash the Leon while it is down there. I'm not really worried about it, although I would say it's a keeper for the moment, to be honest it's in banger territory. The activa is way beyond banger status and intimate as I said my baby.

So many peolple seem happy to do this and leave without doing the decent thing and putting a note with contact details on the car, even when the damage is very noticeable.

I've left a couple of notes in the past, however I wouldn't now. No-one who marks my car does, so I'm not going to lose part of my NCB for anyone else even if it is my fault. It's perhaps the wrong attitude to have, but ... It's a sign of the way society is turning these days.

Obviously if it was more than a minor ding, I'd still leave a note, but a little mark or scrape on plastics? No way.

There is a correct way to determine what the height should be (I don't know what the correct heights are), but a reasonable judge is finger width. I believe (but I am not certain) that for the front it should be 3 - 4 fingers between wheel and arch, and for the rear it is 1 finger between wheel and arch. With Marc's help I have got the correct height done for my C5 estate, so maybe it would have the procedure for a Xantia Activa (but you will want to do it on a car lift that supports the car on its' wheels, or a decent maintenance pit, and with the engine running, to keep the hydraulics active and responsive).

I have been sent that previously, but never checked mine. I'm going purely on looks, and that's 3 different sets of wheels and it looks high. Some day I will get round to measuring it properly

Has anyone noticed it's a bit high at the front?

The tyres on it makes it look worse, 215/40x17 on the front and 215/45x17 on the back. Ireland would be better with 45 on the front too, but even then I think it needs the front lowering about an inch. The back is fine. Even the little activa on the dash is more level lol

The ride height looks about right to me. The wheels don't though!
