My Xantia HDi - Minor Electrical Question!

[Supernaut]

Supernaut collected an Omega from me before; that's 490 miles. He spent the first three hours going north. From Aberdeen.

 

Apparently you can do that without running out off planet.

 

Who knew.

I still have that plane ticket from Inverness to Birmingham hanging on my wall.

One random pls

[Supernaut]

Come on, surely some other people want a lovely Xantia?

 

Enable me to get something silly!

[dave21478]

I will take two consecutive numbers on the understanding that if I win, I probably wont come to get it and will fob it off to someone else on the forum.

[fatharris]

Two randoms please Snaut, I feel winning a different example of a car I've already owned situated at the opposite end of the country to me could only make total sense.

 

Right?

It should be noted that this has done long distance trips with no hassle and without a hitch. So no excuses. 

Hell, some of you guy's have even seen the thing down in Buckinghamshire at Shitefest 2016!

A+ car, is easy to push out of a muddy field, would push again!

 

Looks, I can see my car in that picture!

In a push towards trying to shift this, so I have space to plonk something along the lines of an E39 5er in front of my house, I'm going to look into getting an early MOT on this in the very near future, so it'll sell more easily* due to having a year of MOT. It's currently due to run out in April, but I'd rather sell it before then, and I know I wouldn't be interested in a car with 2 months' MOT...

 

I'll update this thread when it's done.

 

BUY MORE TICKETS PLZ.

[Supernaut]

As per the title.

 

For quarter of the price of the Range Rover roffle, you can get a car with more MOT and less warning lights illuminated!

 

More details:

- 12 months MOT

- 82k miles

- 4x Kumho Ecowing tyres that have done about 5-6k miles

- All round electric windows and air conditioning, all working

- Currently running LHM flush fluid, but will come with 4L of fresh LHM to swap out at your leisure

- Comfy velour seats

- Doom blue

[Tickman]

Well done on the MOT.

[Supernaut]

It doesn't seem the raffle is happening...

 

Does anybody want to make me a derisory offer on this? I don't need the money from the sale, per se. I have enough saved up already for my next purchase, but I need rid of the tax / insurance responsibilities for this car, and the parking space would be nice to have too.

 

Anybody? C'mon. It's a Xantia HDi with a year's MOT. Not going to set the road on fire but it's a nice place to sit and eat up miles.

[Supernaut]

It's still here, and still for sale...

 

Better condition than some other £300 HDi engined Citroens round here too...

 

 

 

[ruffgeezer]

I'd like it but I still have a worse condition £300 citroen to sell.

[Supernaut]

It seems £300 Citroens are very much out of fashion round here, doesn't it?

[bub2006]

Does it have a towbar and do you fancy a c2?!

[Supernaut]

No, and, er... no.

 

I'm just going to end up keeping this, aren't I? Ah well.

[bub2006]

Ah well! It's a nice enough motor to be fair mate. Are you just wanting a change?

[beko1987]

Would the tow bar from my xantia fit it?

[Supernaut]

Ah well! It's a nice enough motor to be fair mate. Are you just wanting a change?

Nail on the head there. I can't really fault it as a car, but I just fancy something quicker.

 

 

Would the tow bar from my xantia fit it?

Dunno. I never really mess about with tow bars. I imagine hatchback and estate ones are different though. Possibly?

[bub2006]

Nope, they are different if I recall

[ruffgeezer]

You would need a hatchback towbar Beko.

[Supernaut]

Today I might even attempt to re-attach the 'chrome' trim on the rear bumper.

 

I've got tiger seal and I'm not afraid to use it...!

 

EDIT: Bollocks to that, it's raining now.

[Supernaut]

The interior fan on this car seems to have a mind of its own with regards to speed.

 

On anything other than full speed, it varies up and down randomly, then when I press the brake pedal (illuminating the brake lights) it speeds up and stays at that speed until I release the brake pedal again.

 

These symptoms point to a bad earth. My question is: where are the typical earthing points on a Xantia?

 

Also, said interior fan is squeaking just a tiny tiny bit, so what sort of lubricant would one use on it?

[beko1987]

Mine does this, but mine is resistor related, not noticed it doing it with the brake pedal.

 

Its sensor fan makes a racket occasionally too, it goes away after a while. Mine is stuck on auto though after I broke the speed adjustment knob... I haven't fitted the fan speed resistor I bought a few months ago, want me to post it up and see if it helps? No idea if it works as its a cheap ebay one, many people on the French car forum say their shite and don't work, I've not found that out yet as mine stopped being naughty (fans on full pelt with ignition on was my symptom...)

[Supernaut]

I have a cheap ebay fan resistor too. When I tried it the fan just died completely.

 

I forgot about the sensor fan, though. I wonder if I could just spray some stuff in there to clean it out.
