For Sale xantia of many shiters

[bub2006]

You all know the car,now own it! Has a diesel leak from somewhere what I can't find and a dented wing after I kicked it when tyre blew out today. I will stick a part worn on for next lucky owner. I've had tracking done,track rod end,battery still under warranty new fuel filter etc. Ac doesn't work and central locking is French on the passenger door. Comes with hbol,papers and owners manual as well as two keys. Not till December. Needs gone asap. Owes me just under 500. Looking for 300 from shiters. New spheres, lhm flush and cambelt approx 20k ago. I've done nearly 10k since April.

Bad news Bub, surely the leak is sortable? Seems a shame to bin it after you've done all that work.

[bub2006]

It was the straw that broke the camels back if I'm honest with commuting traffic and a heavy clutch

[Lacquer Peel]

Is it driveable? Do you want a small van with a light clutch?

[bub2006]

It is drivable and not really,need car for family duties and towing

[Wilko220]

Thanks for crowding the broken Xantia market, you bastard

[bub2006]

I'm so so sorry sir but where else would buy them? Tempted to post on piston heads for shits and giggles

[purplebargeken]

Can anyone get an uninsured and untaxed A4 to Bub in Derbyshire ASAP?

I ken someone who may be interested in a small van.

French car forum?

heavy clutch

Hate to say I told you so.

Though to be fair Daz, you've stuck with it for a fair while now, and your regular journeys have probably changed a bit since you started work.

 

 

Maybe krujoe towers has space???

Not for me I'm afraid.

I'll mention it to Will, but he's up to his nuts in Nivas, and his BX front end still wants rebuilding.

I came across a C6 forum today. This is the ideal car for someone with a C6 to take the dog to the beach, so the C6 stays nice.

And I'd have stuck it out even longer if it wasn't for the comute. I'd have fixed it up etc. Mind you 9.5k since April and its never broke down bar fuel filter.

It's a superb old thing.  No I don't want it back, my spine prefers the seating position in the Rover, though I have to say it *is* tempting at a mere £300.

[bub2006]

To be honest the price will start dropping soon enough!

[bub2006]

If it was all sorted I would ask a bit more but I haven't time to sort it hence open to offers

Where's it leaking fuel from, engine bay or a fuel line under car or something and what pump has it got?

[bub2006]

Bocch pump and its leaking from front. Not sure were

[vulgalour]

@Cav:  Chompy told me it was suspected leak off pipe, of which there are four, which can make it look like the car is leaking from everywhere when in fact it's just one small bit of pipe.

 

Don't forget, this car had a brand new clutch fitted last year too.  Shame you've fallen out of love with it so suddenly after enjoying so many miles in it over the last couple of months.

[bub2006]

I've not fallen out of love with it. Its a brilliant car. But the main issue is I haven't time to look and fix it while working all day and commuting traffic is a bit tricky stop starting!

[bub2006]

Don't think its leak off pipe either but could be wrong.

[Lacquer Peel]

Leak off pipe is a 5 minute fix, try it.

[bub2006]

Filter looks fine and only 2 to 3 leak off was wet at number 3. I've trimmed that back so better fitting.. Doesnt seem to be behind can belt cover. Not t had time to look.

[bub2006]

Price drop. 250 or bring your own wheel with tyre for 230!

[HillmanImp]

My old xantia had a heavy clutch and I had a bad knee. 'Onest 'Arry said he could sort it by drilling holes in the clutch.

 

He did it and it worked. Made a big difference. He reckoned that the Xantia clutches were so big the holes weren't going to cause it to break or owt.

 

I am sure this will have resulted in the death if several internet kittens.

Quick update. Leak I think is fixed. Looks like it was a split lhm hose and was wicking down the block, diesel smell was a leak off pipe on number 3. Wing cleaned so dent not as noticeable and tyre replaced. After it being parked at a friends for a few week it started straight away and I drove it back home. Trouble is its now ho.e so space is even worse than before with cars scattered around Derbyshire.
