Xantia know your suspension thread (request)
Guys, ive had a good idea.....shock horror
Can anyone post up a picture of the front underside suspension and rear underside suspension and add arrows and titles to show what each component is called? A bit like the "know your engine thread"
I know it would help me.....and countless others i reckon

The Haynes BOL makes an attempt at this but the annotation goes
something like:
1: wheel - maintain pressure - 3 spanners (or ask AA man to sort out for you)
2: another wheel - tyre pressure - 3 spanners (as above)
3: engine - caution big heavy oily thing (15 spanners) main dealer maintenence recommended only
4: washer bottle - VERY IMPORTANT - this must be kept above halfway mark (5 spanners)
Actually, If I can find the French Revue Technique the illustrations in that
are great and worth scanning in and posting here!!

The good thing about a Dee, is there's one to please everyone.
Plushophiles will love a late DS23P, while those with eccentric tastes might pick an LHS-suspended second front Safari.
Personally, having a love for that era when "everything" was new and technology was a wonder to admire - not resent - the earliest Dees float my boat.

Well, after careful consideration, no. The 2.1TD stays, as does the Acticva and the V6. To be honest, I can't bear to part with any of them. Too emotionally attached...andmcit wrote:Mind Jim, did I read that right?? Are you seriously considering parting with the 'only sensible one' in your stable?
One day another will join the stable. I still very much fancy a Slough built Light 15 (traction) but my real aspiration is to get an SM...
Cost and lack of garage preclude either for the foreseeable

i was going to say a traction (no not engine),
the SM has the ACTIVA side ways leveling struts on its head lights,
these are to make extra sure the head light aim is corect,
why a self leveling car needs self leveling head lamps i dont know, a bit OTT,
although the D's have mechanical self adjusters on there head lamps
