At Last

Unread post by daviemck2006 »

The guy that did the radius arm found that it probably had been removed and put back together not done. He had to do the weld on the bearings to get them off, the plastic tube was mangled which would explain the squeak and the reason for thinking it had been disturbed, there is a spring clip holding some thing on which was severely butchered then welded in. He thinks the other side may need doing in the not to distant future. I will also have to now do the alignment, steering wheel off by about 15* which will annoy me. I'm scared to go back and ask them, might take another week to do it!

Well, she is getting there. It also suggests that the mechanic (not the garage) has an understanding of Citroens. It might be worth cultivating him (if he is prepared to do OOH work).

Yes. I have the dentist in Huntly at 11.30, and I am going to Kemnay after that, be there at 1 ish I would think. Chris is going to run his Lexia over the car and we are going to measure seat mounts to see if c5 and xantia seats are physically interchangeable. Are you going up to have a mini meet Rick?

Got a couple of appointments tomorrow but I said on a PM that I might manage an hour at most. Don't know if it's worth it or not. Don't know the address either come to think of it!
