V6 Xantia......... the beginning of another adventure

[KP]

Do you even have to go Steve if they could get it to the train station it could surely get upto you?

[Trainman]

Will, different companies and the politics make it a headache, easier to go myself.

[KP]

Ahhh thought they stopped off at Milton Keynes

Nightmare indeed post it tomorrow and should be with you Thursday, even get it delivered to me if you want and then pick it up on your way past

[Trainman]

Thanks Will, but getting it delivered to work is easy, it's what I do with fleabay, some of our trains do but they via Brim, so it's 3 hours each way.....

[Trainman]

Just been playing about on fleabay and noticed a 4HP-20 gearbox for sale.out of a 2.2 C5 now that's got.me pondering, are these switches definitely unavailable from Citroën?

[CitroJim]

Steve,

PM me your address (or a suitable alternative address) and a switch will be in the post to you later this morning..

Has to be today as this is the only day I can get to a Post Office at a reasonable hour..

OK?

[Trainman]

Jim, You're a star, PM to follow.................

[Northern_Mike]

DEAR GOD......... I didn't spot that

Must've been under the V6 'influence' at the time of reading eh ....

enough said

I guess I'm just wary, getting to the motorway is fairly easy and shouldn't put to much strain on the car, my concerns are more around the Peterborough end and getting stuck in traffic, with the added weight of the trailer.

Great that's good, at least a bumpy like me can do it, so where to get one from, I happy to travel, to get one in person that way I know I have it, but I will settle for it being posted......

Go to http://www.parcelmonkey.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Create an account.

Ensure parcel is ready to go.

They'll pick it up and do next day for about a tenner.

I used them lots for sending bits around the country. It's actually cheap courier work done by City Link. Sent lots of laptops. never had an issue with them.

Steve, PM seen and is in progress

Mike, you're forgiven... You are in Bogota after all..

On the same subject, those ParcelMonkey things work well.

I see you can now deposit a UPS parcel with your local corner shop now. Join up, print off the labels and job's a good 'un...

Also, UPS parcels can be sent to your local corner shop for collection.

Used it. Works a treat.

[CitroJim]

Steve,

Switch is now in the hands of Postman Pat and his colleagues. It should be with you tomorrow..

A 13mm spanner, a screwdriver and a small 10mm socket is all you need to swap it. 30 minutes from start to end should see it done a treat

And that time includes a cup of tea half way through

[KP]

If you get stuck Steve let me know and I'll lend a hand a hammer

[Trainman]

Guys, thanks very much, i'll be in touch tomorrow afternoon when I get home from work

[Trainman]

NO I haven't removed the gearbox before you ask or shout at me, this is a picture of the one destined for Jim, but it got me thinking....... Can somebody highlight the switch I'm changing to give an idea.

[xantia_v6]

Do you see the cable with a connector clipped to the heat exchanger? The switch is on the other end of the cable.
