Model: Citroen Xsara 1.9 Diesel
Year: 1999 / S
Mileage: 155k miles
Tax: Not included (5 months available separately)
MOT: Dec 2011
Location: Bishop Auckland DL14 & Tyneside
Price: £300 or offers
Additional Information:
This has been a great economical daily / family runabout / holiday car / parts chaser for the few years we have had it but it's now time for a change.
Typical 1.9 Peugeot / Citroen diesel, runs well with no nasty noises.
No major problems in the time we have had it, semi-regular oil & filter changes (I have new oil & filter + fuel filter here ready for the next service - will be included if I don't get a chance to drop the oil before it sells)
Boringly reliable, always starts even in deep snow, all the fancy electrics work (front windows, sunroof, mirrors, etc). Good battery fitted. Bodywork is tidy (see below - bonnet & boot
), no rust on doors or arches, don't think there are any other knocks or dents. Factory remote central locking fitted but batteries removed as girlfriend prefers manual locks 
Bad bits ? 2 parking dents in the back (girlfriend reversed in the same tree twice
), and the bonnet has blown open - no damage to the screen but bonnet is rippled and ariel on roof slightly bowed. Cause seems to be the bonnet safety catch was stuck "open" so when bonnet came up there was nothing to stop it. Safety catch now oiled and working fine. All tyres need to be changed, hubcaps were removed after 2 went missing - now runs plain black steel rims. Exhaust started to blow a few times, new center section fitted, backbox totally reskinned, tube insert fitted to fractured frontpipe - then rewelded. All solid now but mentioned so you know about it.
Interior cleans up nicely, varies between scruffy and fairly clean (we have big dogs - one loves to play in mud )
Overall, a very reliable daily car, not being used much as we are now a 2-car house, and I'm keeping the Hillman
Viewing welcome at Bishop Auckland DL14.
We're often visiting around Tyneside so can meet up if needed.
