Re: Activa no2 help needed
YES!! Another Activa has tried to rise from the grave (and it looks like it has succeeded)! Now all it has to do is to rise from the ground!

Re: Activa no2 help needed
Well, now let her really get off the ground and fly, the way she was meant to.

She may not be ready YET, but she will fly! All you need to do is believe (alright, and persevere)!

It cannot be Jim. As far as I am aware he (and you) don't like tobacco products, so he wouldn't chew baccy!myglaren wrote:Jim wearing his dog.

No, quite right James. I only look like Chewbacca if I forget to charge my beard trimmer...

Mike, pictures taken but run out of time to put them on the webserver today. I'll try tomorrow.CitroJim wrote:Mike, I'll give all the KingAS detail later and some piccys of his very excellent work. Can't right now, currently enjoying a meal in Wagamama and sending this from my phone...
Anyway,
Contact KingAS at info(at)elastomer.eu
His proper name is Irmantas and he's very helpful. I can tell you now he'll ask 75 Euros + VAT for each one. You pay outgoing freight and he pays it on his despatch back to you.
I got 4 despatched to him using ParcelToGo for £31..
New ones for a Xantia may still just work out cheaper after VAT, carriage and exchange rates are taken into account.
All up, the four we had done cost £370 all-in with carriage..

I believe V6 struts have a bigger hole, because the cylinder that goes into the strut is a bit thicker...

Activa is 17mm with 10mm (Hydractive) pipework Mike...
The V6 ones are unique to the V6 which makes them rather valuable..
Didn't realise Xantia tops were now NFP

It's unusual for the ram pipes to be bad Mike. They are thick metal but yes, hellishly difficult to remove; they really are buried. Looks like the ram pipes were the second thing to be fitted after the heater matrix when he car was built...
