Thanks very much for that ellevie
I have a good idea now what to expect if the bearings fail again.
:D

I bought a Sony head unit last year and recall the instruction manual says something about a built-in setting to improve weak signal reception?

Hi Jim, :D

Hi G,

I will come up and help you put new lower arms on (have tools etc), if you work some magic on my Inj pump ;)

John

If you've got a xantia you could have a look at www.xantiaclub.co.uk

Hi all,

Whilst I've not personally dealt with a Xantia that early, most Citroen's that use the older two pin diagnostic socket have it located towards the...

If unsure then i wouldnt personally use SVO, not worth saving a few quid now to only have to buy or fix the pump when it self destructs. Best safe...

Excellent news Fangy :D :D :D

i have pulled all relays from fusebox area and still the wipers work front and rear along with the washer jets but no intermittent or 3 flick.as the...

All HDi xantias & some XUD's had vaccum pumps to opperate the EGR & fast idle system.

I made these some time ago now out of scrap, and have never failed yet!!!.

check the switch on the bonnet catch, they have a tendancy to unclip from the catch making it think the bonnet is open.

One thing about my Activa I've noticed is how things tend to stay put in the boot. Nothing ever seems to move or slide around to any great extent....

In the past I have resorted to bad language and skinned knuckles when changing the C5 bulbs. However, it's not actually *that* difficult to get the...

John

Thanks both :D

David, I think your idea of replacing the steering column complete could be a winner. I'll have a chat with a few breakers..

Spot on. Took a quick look with a torch tonight and was lucky enough to see it had popped out, i pushed it back on with a screwdriver for now and...

So true. I love to browse the FCF and see what's happening. And since my extremely reliable Xantia has started to play up, I've really missed the FCF...

Just remove the lower bolt and the caliper swings upwards, make sure you wind the piston back in.

Mike, I hope you mean 3.29 MINUTES and not seconds :lol: :lol:

For anyone with low tick rates that are considering changing their accumulator, I...

The arms are made of mild steel. You can wind them into a spiral before they break. What you're hearing is probably the holding spring objecting to...

Similar affair as the Xantia; the switch and the plug on the fan motor.
If it’s the switch, wriggling or turning to restart will bring it back.
A...

Thanks Guys, my car does indeed have a Airbag as its a Oct 94 on a M plate with the facelifted front end etc, which I drove for the first time when...
