So incorrect you are. The great marque of Citroen (with an umlaut
on the e) is on-topic within alt.autos.citroen. Not in alt.config.
Bu sure to mention that in your FAQ, you've got plety of time to
write one.
We need a FAQ soon.

I think you ought to make a list of the immature trolls, just to
ensure that everybody knows who they are.

Immature trolls? What, exactly, made you and i decide that today
was 'insult 2Rowdy day'?

It's my young looks and sparkling mind that makes people want to
insult me. Some have it, some don't. Live with it.
Owning a Citroen makes one impenetrable to insults. You should try
it.

Forgot teh x-post

I once had the misfortune to drive a borrowed citroen.
I think it was a BX or summat.
anyway it had nasty hydraulic suspension which made it feel more
like driving a boat.

The hydraulics have improved since.
I once owned a BX diesel and cos of it's weight it drove perfectly.
When it was in repair I borrowed a BX light, the comparison with a
boat makes sense.

Okay, push means that when you enter a turn the vehicle, though the
front wheels are turned, tried to continue in a straight line. This
happens primarily when you take a heavy vehicle too fast into a turn.
Basically the front wheels have insufficent bite to maintain track.
There are several other reasons this will occur but those have more to
do with racing than a commercial street vehicle.

Thanks for explaining. Didn't have any problems with that. Should
have, but didn't.
Racing was not possible with the car. It was way underpowered with
only a small 1.9, no turbo, engine (50 bhp or so).
Near Lyon, going North, up hill, with a caravan behind it was total
horror. It could only pull in first gear.

My XM comes close to the BX diesel I had. The suspention on the diesel
was better.
