Hey Kermit...

Try this..

XANTIA XANTIA XANTIA XANTIA

Yes, V6 XANTIAS are rare, but rather nice, especially the ultra-rare V6 Activa. Cambelts are a nightmare apparantly and they can be more economical than the 2L Turbo.

So, have I earned a ban for this post :?: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually I would have a V6 Activa.
Dad has a V6 24Valve for a while, and whilst it was a tad thirsty (mainly used round town, and an auto) but it sounded lovely and went like the wind.

The Activa I owned for 3 seconds was rather special too.

But yes, doing a cam belt on a 24v V6 is about as much fun as using a pnuematic jack hammer to brush your teeth.
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...
