michael1703 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I've got a mate that wants shot of his xantia It's a bit of a turd but I mot'd it before Christmas and it passed first time. It keeps sinking and leaking and he can't be arsed. Think it will be scrap money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Depends where it's leaking from as to whether it's worth the hassle I guess. And which engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 If your mate lives in Chester and thinks scrap is 40p per tonne I'm going party like it's 2016 and a half. Bren, Rusty_Rocket, The Moog and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael1703 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 More than scrap price as is, answer from the owner is "The only item of use for me would be the high capacity battery I put on that cost £100 and thé spare pair of winter tyres on wheels for another 100 odd quid. So I would be happy with around £150 ?" May be negotiable sans winter wheels and take a scrap battery etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffgeezer Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Colour me interested, I'll have a dig around and see what the leak is likely to be, would more pictures be a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony30 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Would you actually notice the difference, in comfort, between a 'normal' car suspension set-up and hydrolastic suspension? Just noticed a 1999 Citroen Xantia sx HDI on Ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dugong Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Would you actually notice the difference, in comfort, between a 'normal' car suspension set-up and hydrolastic suspension? Just noticed a 1999 Citroen Xantia sx HDI on Ebay. Depends. Hydrolastic and Hydropneumatic are different types of suspension. There's way too much fanboi worship of the latter on here IMHO.
