I can't help myself.. Citroen CX Prestige purchased!
Discussion
I got a chance to have a look at this at the weekend - first thing to check was the leak of LHM from the solid pipe on the brake circuit to the LH front
As you can see, plenty LHM was being flung aboot!
I decided to start at the top- disconnecting the flexi from the hard line
Despite being a 10mm union, rather than the usual 11mm, it came apart fine. I'll need to find out if it was leaking of if the LHM on the strut is down to the wheel slinging it about.
This 17mm held on the banjo bolt setup at the end of the pipe attached to the caliper -an odd set up with a locator pin.
The pipe itself is scrap - so I now need to source another. I didnt look for one previously as I wanted to be sure I could actually remove it before shelling out for a replacement.
Time to get a hunting!
PS- sorry for small pics- the uploader was odd this evening!Click and they will biggify

Time to get on with the alternator bolt!
That'll be saturday sorted trying to dodge this dripping in my mouth as I lie inderneath and spray it.
I'm sure it'll come in useful as I work my way around the front end checking and cleaning.
I imagine the parts list could get fairly large..
Although when you know that WD-40 stands for Water Displacement 40th Formula then that's cool too.
