It's funny. My parents don't get Citroens with their "hydroelastic" suspension. Can we swap parents?
Not for swapping I'm afraid. He is a daft old bugger, likes his cars a little left field, he is keeping an eye out for another CX 25 GTi Turbo as he regrets selling the last one. Just needs to convince my mum that a seventh car is really necessary. Mustard said:

To the dealer I presume?
Given his a dealer, who obviously wants to make a profit, is a £1200 spread less VAT etc so massive?
... Not like there's another one just around the corner to compare!
As always worth what someone's prepared to put their hand in the pocket and pay, so we'll see how overpriced it is, in the land of BMW and Mercedes 'classic specialists' they'd want a damn sight more than £1200 across a car, they'd want at least £2-3k, photograph it very well and sit back and wait

Today for a change I went down to a local car show, called Gosporteers. It's an annual event, every Aug bank holiday. I paid my fiver and went into the event, along with a friend in his BX and Tony in his tamora.
We all parked in family cars 91 onwards. We had a good look round then I got a bit bored, so I waxed my car and the BX.
Each segment is judged and my XM was awarded best in class. The BX was runner up, and the tamora wad disqualified.
I had to go and collect a trophy too.
We were the only 3 cars in that segment...

It's taken 3 weeks, 1100 miles but it's happened. I'm bored now 
Go and play with the armrest.
Been out in the XM today and the ride at the front is still hard, the rear is intermittently hard. I drove over to my new XM friend John who owns 10 XM's in various states of decay and we fitted a known working suspension ECU (a test unit)...What a difference! This has narrowed it down to my suspension ECU being on the brink causing a good proportion, if not all, of my hard ride issues.
John is rather old school and a bit eccentric (as a good majority of Citroen owners seem to be). He is planning on driving XM's till he dies which is why he has so many. He has a lockup full of spare parts (and cars) and is going to strip down and repair a spare ECU he has and will take mine in exchange. Hopefully this will be done this week before the big XM/Xantia rally next weekend
It's twin is on eBay if anybody else wants to waft in style. There are only 18 SEI's left according to "how many left"
