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.

Just been having a discussion with bernie and we've realised after quite a long time that we keep bidding against each other, something that could easily be avoided if we knew each others usernames!
So, whats yours?
Me eBay user name is 'Vannystick'

First post

Xant's got a really good write up in last weeks Sunday mercury (Birmingham paper) a few people pointed it out to me at work, made me quite proud!!!
Couple of people wanted a go in mine after reading it!!!!!!

Last post

Well it's nice to see that the Xantia has appeared in the motoring press this week. If you happen to be in a newsagent, (or that useful magazine reference library called WH Smith's) have a look in this weeks Autocar, the issue dated 9th August 2005.
Here's a link :-

If you look for the magazine with the new BMW M1 on the front, as shown at the...

I fyou get mega desperate i might be able to play at some time. Dont have a van but could pick one up off Salford Van Hire and do the dee, though im a bit of a way away from the lot of them in Liverpool! No points on the licens though!

Last post

With access to a transit. I have slipped up and bought a largish item of furniture off ebay and need to get it from there to coventry and I dont think the activa is big enough. I blame my other half for getting auction fever and dropping me in it from a great height. There is lots of beertokens in this for somebody as with 8points on my licence...

Interesting ancient Peugeot.

Rather nice, and BIN price seems reasonable. Cannot figure out the bit about the Austin Seven - a very small car, and I think that Sir Alan would be upset about calling it whicker- work!

Look at this, listed under Austins for some reason-

Bought a Xantia 1.9TD SX

by martyhopkirk » 09 Aug 2005, 00:39

First post

Sounds nice - must be the seson to trade in low mileage diesels - how much???

Last post

I've bought a Xantia 1.9TD SX with 51000 on the clock and FCSH, no CD player like my previous HDI but it's got the rain sensing wipers.
The front spheres need changing and it's bouncing down the road like tiger at the moment. Anyway a trip to Accrington to get front spheres should sort out that problem.
Regards

Advise needed on towing frame please

by VisaGTi16v » 08 Aug 2005, 18:10

First post

I dont think they are legal unless theres someone in the other car or they are being recovered. There was a thread about it on my motorsport forum somewhere...

1 page down, states the legalities or lack of, basically only to be used to move a car to a safe place or by a registered recovery firm it seems

Last post

What is the position of law regarding towing another car with an A frame?
They are supposed to be 'one man operation', does this work in practise?
They apparently fix to the lower wishbones, has anyone used one?
Has anyone got one for sale?
