Xantia V6 broken exhaust (update: and rough low rpm running)

Paul would be the man to ask

Good excuse for a visit, do the swap there and then and drive home again

Anyway, soon I'm sure we'll need a visa and passport to visit Scotland and spend hours at Hadrian's Wall Border Crossing so take adavantage of an easy vist whilst you still can!

There will be a line of hairy aresd scots men in kilts to negotiate lol

Is there any rush for the bonnet? I ask just in case anybody is coming down to the XM rally, I know David has mentioned he might be heading down.....

[KP]

That's my backup plan Steve but I have an engineer in Grangemouth and Larg tomorrow so hope he will swing by and pick it up on the way home and then I can fit it Saturday and have it ready for a trip

NO!! I'm not putting it in the boot of the XM!! Forget it!!

[Trainman]

Oh well, wonder if any of the scottish contingent are are heading down to the Midland Rally or XM?

[DHallworth]

Small things I don't mind but not a bonnet! My XM would have a heart attack if I shoe horned something like that into her!!

Would mean taking the rear window etc out inside it too.

David.

[daviemck2006]

Not me. Being on benefits now means that I can only afford one trip a year, and I've already done it.

[KP]

Ha ha don't worry David, I won't increase the mileage of you xm with the addition of just one car part

[DHallworth]

You wouldn't be increasing the mileage as I'm coming down in it anyway, just not shoehorning a bonnet into the back of it!!

David.

[KP]

The mileage of all the parts in the car would be loads higher could you even cope with a car part being close to you that's got over 100k on it :p

... but I have an engineer in Grangemouth

I'll wave to him out the window, as I work in Grangemouth....

Might not be anybody there 2-3, but I will leave it outside leaning against the side of the garage, he can help himself.

[KP]

Muchos gracious Richard

Might not be anybody there 2-3, but I will leave it outside leaning against the side of the garage, he can help himself.

Hopefully it doesn't blow over in a gust of wind and get scratched...

[CitroJim]

You could always put a set of small wheels on the bonnet and tow it to wherre it needs to go
