For Sale Xantia for spares or repairs, mot'd til November

[michael1703]

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

[dollywobbler]

Depends where it's leaking from as to whether it's worth the hassle I guess. And which engine.

[Cavcraft]

If your mate lives in Chester and thinks scrap is 40p per tonne I'm going party like it's 2016 and a half.

[Inspector Morose]

Please be petro, please be petrol, please be petrol, must resist, please be petrol.....

[michael1703]

Think it's diesel, think it was a recon engine too.

 

I'll get more details

[320touring]

Yup. Wondering if the box would fit too.

Happy to help!

[Inspector Morose]

Hang on, hang on. W reg. That would mean HDi, yes?

[artdjones]

Yes, HDi,an Exclusive which means leather interior also the 110 HP.If it's not beyond redemption it could make a lovely car.My 110 did 50 mpg with loads of go.

Exclusive also means Hydractive suspension like an XM.

[320touring]

Ah dear, not the simple swap you were hoping for FPB7

[michael1703]

From the owner:

 

"first reg'd March 2000. New engine, water pump, turbo & glow plugs 2006 at 108k miles. Done 80k miles since inc new cambelt at 60k miles, Summer & winter tyres. MOT till next November. Has fluid leak around power steering unit. Could be a hose, could be seals. New discs all round."

[ruffgeezer]

how much and where?

[Lacquer Peel]

how much and where?

 

 

It's in suffolk, IP6 9NT

 

I'm glad it's an HDi and way too far south.

[michael1703]

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

[ruffgeezer]

Colour me interested, I'll have a dig around and see what the leak is likely to be, would more pictures be a possibility?

[UltraWomble]

Im assuming its a Manuel

 

If its an Auto however with the AL4 then I'll go and fetch a trailer.....

[michael1703]

Manual

 

He needs a couple of cars trailered down to him from Derby and Leeds

 

If a shiter with a trailer could do either, they could have a free xantia plus some money there way

[Anthony30]

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.
