Afternoon all,
I bought this in June as a cheap daily and it's performed that job impeccably. It's very scruffy outside and pretty dirty inside, but mechanically spot on. The tax is out in 10 days and the MOT at the end of Nov.
Faults:
ABS light on - I have found the rear RH sensor wire has rubbed through, replacing this may sort it, but cannot guarantee
Central locking not working - there was a current drain so I removed the fuse.
Some slight knocks over bumps from the front suspension, I'm assuming bushes but haven't bothered to diagnose (see below)
Will need a battery as I'm taking the new one off. I can provide one to drive away.
Positives:
1.9XUD avec turbo. Fitted with veg friendly Bosch pump, pulls well, doesn't noticeably smoke apart from the obligatory puff at start up
4 elec windows
elec sunroof
up and downy suspension
some service history
CD player
erm...
I get 45-50mpg from this, day in day out. It starts first time and is pretty refined once up to temp. My first hydro citroen and I'm impressed with the comfort. It's big too, loads of room for 4 adults plus a big boot
About 6 weeks ago, I was side swiped by a courier van and I've finally reached a settlement where the car is written off but not taken away. Damage is cosmetic to the driver's front wing, door mirror casing now rattles
plus a broken side repeater lens (bulb survived???)
I decided to offer it here as either an engine donor or a repair if you want, before it gets weighed in at the end of the month.
If you were to sort the ABS light, investigate the front suspension and fit a new repeater lens you could have a year of the cheapest motoring possible - maybe for the price of a sensor and a couple of bushes.
I can provide pics if you want/need, but basically it's an M-reg, blue LX spec xantia...
PM me for a number
