D Spares & Tyres Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Someone please rescue this beauty Xantia 1.9td 2 months MoT 130,000 miles, full service history. loads of bills and a fully stamped book Only 3 owners, the last of which had it for 14 years Interior very good Drives very well, no mechanical faults other than the reason it came my way.... It has burst a fluid pipe. quite easy to get to and only £60 from Citroen It is generally tidy other than the rear wings which are rustier than any Xantia I have ever seen The drivers side was due to a badly repaired scrape years ago and the passenger side one I was assured just needed a rub down. I disagreed. The hole is a result of me proving my point by poking it with my finger It is in Ludlow on my trailer and cannot be driven as the fluid leak is quite bad Will put it on ebay for £300 if nobody on here wants it. Or £200 + a bottle of your most local ale to any autoshiters who wantit. Not online all the time and I don`t have a smart phone so call me on 07805 157 639 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Wow, I have never seen one go so badly in the back quarters like that. Front wings and strut tops yes, but never the rears. Vince70 and BorniteIdentity 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Looks like it's been parked next to a ka. Sadly looks like a breaker. Grundig, UltraWomble and Vince70 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 With a fully stamped service book might it not be worth getting some repair panels and sorting it properly? I'm sure a good number of shiters have undertaken way bigger jobs than that. Rust is the only thing that puts me off that really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince70 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I didn't think the old xantia rotted out.. We have had 3 of them in the past and all of them have been superb motors..The only bodywork issues I've ever had on them is crazing on the rear hatch after years of being out in the sun. That does look terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's where they go when they do go, I think it's about the only rust trap on the whole car. UltraWomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraWomble Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 That's where they go when they do go, I think it's about the only rust trap on the whole car.Ive seen the inner wings go frilly and the strut tops, but thats about it. Mandy (MDY) has nothing in the rear quarters. Thats a BX trait, when they start going in the rear door shuts then you know its rusty as fook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Its worse than any Xantia I have ever seen but easily doable.

cort16 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 You'd have to be pretty hard core to go to the bother of welding new quarters onto it. Fibre glass and hammerite on the other hand... Jim Bell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrett Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I don't wanna sound like Ian Buzzkill over here, but £300 would buy you a pretty decent TD, prefacelift model with a bit of test on it that doesn't need totally reconstructing from papier mache or whatever. I like Xantias, but this thing deserves to be put out of its misery and bridged. Lacquer Peel, Vince70, Cavcraft and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Morose Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 True but as DT said, the engine is worth about that on its own. Then again the £195 engine is usually out of the car and on a pallet waiting for delivery. Say, if you were to break it, fancy putting the engine into a BX instead. I might have one that could suffice. I wonder if the gearbox could be persuaded in there too? Monies could be exchanged for such an adventure. Just a thought, like.

UltraWomble Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 If it was a badermatic I know someone who would do just that - gearbox and engine into a BX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 /\There's been the odd one kicking about in the last few months, they are in that stage where they're only just emerging from 'straight to scrap' to 'slightly desirable' so they are out there if you look.Engines/boxes worth £195?

D Spares & Tyres Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 that doesn`t look like a particulary decent pre- facelift...... I have sold loads of XUD 1.9 engines for between £150 and £200 dependant on mileage and spec , they are in quite high demand. Not just in the UK either, there is plenty of demand for them abroad Being as this is one of the very last Xantia XUDs built they also have an extra high spec internally and are in demand with modifiers ( a small amount of people admittedly) Can`t quite remember what exactly, possible something ceramic?????? I tell it like it is, no flies from bullshit on me Fuckloads of horseflies about yesterday though, the bastards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 People are strange You will fuck about travelling the length of the country getting shite You will fix all sorts of mechanical issues But are frightened of a bit of rust and some welding that wouldn`t be a big deal on an Escort or something Pansies Anyway, its not for sale any more. My Scenic died yesterday, need a family car ASAP and this will do the job in an interesting way. New pipe, £60 and a small bit of bodywork and I`ve got myself a tidy Xantia Seen and done worse Fiestas / KAs Xantia saved catsinthewelder, KruJoe, solid61 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bell Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Everything in for sale threads is only worth half of what people are asking. That's the law if you're looking to buy. Every fucker has an opinion and no wish to make an offer. That's the law when looking to sell. These are our rules and we will soldier on.
