Rarest XUD powered vehicle?

by bikeboyz » 07 Oct 2005, 20:54

First post

I was lucky enough to get a huge print out from the DoT on Peugeot vehicles licenced at the end of the year for Club Peugeot UK. It got me thinking looking through the models, which car of any brand is now the rarest for XUD power.

Is it the Talbot Horizon? or FSO Caro? or ..... your suggestion....

The Audi is boring me a little. I fancy getting back into the eccentric world of the Chevrons for my motorway cruiser - it complements the 2cv rather better!

Problem is, I don't like four cylinder engines. Too bland. So, I'm thinking about getting a Xantia V6. Do I need my head seeing or is this not a bad plan?

Or the other way to look at it....

But XMs are scary! Is it true that auto's have more than their fair share of problems? A V6 with a manual box just doesn't seem right - unless it's Italian...

If you remember on the old (shall we call it Pink forum ) the Peugeots and Renault forums seemed to be almost 'secreted' away, so when this one was devised, it was decided to place the three marques at the head of the forums so they all got almost equal billing.
The idea of course being that they would be placed in descending order of popularity...

The metal is bonded into the glass at point of manufacture. I'm not to sure how you can re-attach it. But be carefull as this happedned on my xsara. Any how next day after messing with it it shattered. Not pretty. Ask the Citroen guys this question as they'll have some product you can use.

Hi I'm guessing this applies universally to all cars, on the heated rear screens how does the connector bond to the screen? Mine has been caught getting stuff in and out the boot and is no longer attached, with winter drawing in I want to re attach it.

Warning: merely clicking unlock on your diesel car's key fob could destroy its engine if you have filled the tank with the wrong fuel....

I'll definitely have a look when I get home (to a decent connection!). I'm sure lots of us would love to drive our cars the way you get to. (That's fast on a circuit, of course! )

As some of you on here may know by now, I compete in sprints and hillclimbs in an old Visa Gti. It was originally a Group N rally car but has been changed somewhat by myself.

When exactly did Cats come in as compulsory.

The standard exhaust for this model...

This is a topic we've discussed several times on the forum, but it seems taking the catalytic converter off an XUD diesel could cause a car to fail an MoT in the UK.
I've been told by an MoT station that the problem is this:
During this year, all MoT stations are going 'on line' whereby the MoT tester is linked directly to the DVLA by computer....

First post

No idea im afraid but vaguely on topic...what was the diesel in the Maestro? My parents had an M reg Mastro Clubman turbo diesel but im sure it was a 2 litre. Was this some earlier engine which Rover gave up with and went and swapped to PSA ones?
