Which is why I suggested just bolting in a 1.9TD - I rather suspect it would be a LOT more than just the pump gone FUBAR

Yeah, but then it wouldn't be a 2.1, would it.

It`d be a -0.2 and that`d never do.

The 2.1 is also a real shoe horn job in the Xantia, so there's not much room to work on it - might make the pump change awkward. I suppose you could source a mechanical pump from an XM or something, jump a supply to the stop solenoid, and dump the ECU

They aint too bad to do, I'd rather change a pump on the xanty than do a head on a synergy........

Just received this response from the bloke:

whoops actually mot has expired.
full service history mostly from citroen
106,000 miles
a couple of garages checked it and said it looks like pump is the problem
i bought it salvage just over a year ago it had a small dent/scratch on the sill no big deal
and was going well before it stoped running

I think I'll leave it if it's got no MOT on it.
