For Sale Citroen Xantia 1.9 TD Bosch pump full service history

[D Spares & Tyres]

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 want

it.

 

Not online all the time and I don`t have a smart phone so call me on 07805 157 639

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.

[Bren]

Looks like it's been parked next to a ka.

 

Sadly looks like a breaker.

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.

You don't say.

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.

[Richard]

That's where they go when they do go, I think it's about the only rust trap on the whole car.

[UltraWomble]

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

[purplebargeken]

Wow, that is rusty! 

[Bren]

I got rid of my P reg example in 2009 - it was rust free.

[D Spares & Tyres]

Its worse than any Xantia I have ever seen but easily doable. Its solid everywhere else. i don`t have the heart to break it but I`ve priced it at what the engine is worth

[Coprolalia]

 

 

ORL DA VEG!

 

 

If someone wants to get this guy on the blower and cut out his wings for the transplant, I can happily courier from Brixham to Ludlow. (On my weekly commute!)

Can I hear James Brown ?

[cort16]

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]

That's a bit posh. Duct tape and tin cans surely.

[oldcars]

Shame is a diesel, you could have filled the hole in the quarter with one of these lpg filler caps 

[barrett]

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.

[Inspector Morose]

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]

If it was a badermatic I know someone who would do just that - gearbox and engine into a BX.

really??

 

Can you find me the phone number of one and I`ll buy it today

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? Get me a contact number, please!

With 6 months mot

[D Spares & Tyres]

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

[Mr_Bo11ox]

 Rust is the only thing that puts me off that really.

 

 

I've been chuckling at this all day

[D Spares & Tyres]

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

[Cavcraft]

People aren't strange, they just know their stuff more than you're giving them credit for by the looks of things.

[Lacquer Peel]

You can buy a Xantia TD that doesn't look hanging for not much more than your asking price, there's the problem.

[D Spares & Tyres]

wel

 

People aren't strange, they just know their stuff more than you're giving them credit for by the looks of things.

People are really really strange on here, myself included or I wouldn`t be here...

 

This is Autoshite, none of us are normal

 

Most of my comments were tongue in cheek anyway....

[Jim Bell]

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.
