How Not To Open The Xsara Bonnet


Recommended Posts

hi all,

 

how many xsara owners out there lift the bonnet by holding/grabbing the big chrome badge in the grille and close it by pushing down on it :o , well DON'T DO IT ANYMORE this badge is only pushed into holes then melted at the back to hold it in place and it NOT very strong at all, the badge can't be re-paired and you just can't get one from a scrappy they break off too.

 

how many xsara's have you seen on the road with missing front badges :(

 

a new one is £75 :blink: and this has to be fixed on by melting it as well !!!, just what is wrong in using a recessed nut/bolt !..... i'll tell you production costs :(

:rolleyes: i did that just after i bought my car (that was put on when i collected it) i new not to do it but its so big and grabby like so off it comes! anyway i found the best stuff to fix it with is a resin mix glue made by innotec its lasted me 20 months and its still on there. not cheap but its not 75quid and you can pull it off more than once.
