83C Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've decided to pass on the Xantia I got from colc a few months ago, it's been fun but really it is surplus to requirements. The good: 1.9 XUDIt mostly works - even the electric sunroof!Had a recent oil change.MoT until August 2017 The bad:Uses oil, probably a litre every 500 miles. Does leak some from underneath somewhere.Occasionally the engine can be a bit hesitant, like its suffering fuel starvation. It's never FTP'd though. Boot has to be opened with a key. The ugly:The bodywork. Just had a couple of part-worns put on the front, another pair will be in the boot along with a bottle of LHM. It will be available from 1730 on Thursday 23rd, come and get it! Located in Exeter at Exeter St Davids railway station. M'coli, Craig the Princess and KruJoe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthbay Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Must be one of the most underrated cars of recent times. I loved ours to bits and would have another without thought if I had the space. HillmanImp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phil_lihp Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Mega-tempted given that it's a short train journey from me but realistically I would have no real use for it. However, delivery assistance can be provided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83C Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 red5 has first dibs on it once collection can be sorted. The plan had been to have the car available tomorrow evening but a long session of explosive venting from both ends of my body has put paid to that. Tried to work today and swiftly found it to be a bad idea. If it falls through I'll let you all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
