Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

Last post

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

My G went in for an MOT a few weeks ago...she passed! There was an advisory on an engine oil leak near the front inboard brakes discs. I'm a bit reluctant to drive it until I've had a closer look. If I remember correctly, Citronut reckons it could be related to the drain tubes.

Need to look into this rattle around the drivers side head area too.

'76 Gspecial Tyres

I run Michelins and in my ownership have forked out for 2 NOS ones when picking up a load of spares and 3 brand new ones (@£118ea) at a later date, prompted by the fact that one of the old ones (of some age) had some sidewall damaged. I think in terms of the correct size, it's between the Michelin and the Nankang, and it'll be a cold day in hell...

A G adventure to Paris on the 21st September!

by red_dwarfers » 10 Oct 2012, 20:03

First post

It's a little late coming but here's a write up about a group of five GS/A enthusiasts who went over to France on the 21st September (a first for two of us. Not the first time we had been on the 21st September, the first time we have been to France if there was any confusion) to go to a BX and XM club of France meeting at Citroen's Conservatoire...

Cheers chaps!

Removing remains of the sound proofing for welding

by red_dwarfers » 01 Oct 2012, 20:06

First post

I've peeled off the sound proofing from the sides of the boot but there is still a fairly even spread of fibres stuck to the inner wing. So far I've got away with a bit of smouldering from welding the opposite side. The problem now is that I need to weld directly onto the side with the fibres on so I'd like to remove most of them so my G doesn't...

Last post

Cheers for the tips chaps!

I went for the grinder with a sanding disk approach in the end. There was still a bit of smoke but the fairy liquid bottle was at the ready!

A friend spotted this pair of Citroens at a show:

What's odd about this gold one is:
It's at a Citroen Meet in Saratoga, New York, USA
right-hand rear door damage
UK vehicle registration mark (if it is the correct one at some point in it's life)
The vehicle details for NFC 223S are:
Date of Liability 01 07 2013
Date of First Registration...

I see now that it does have an export marker on the DVLA file.

GSA lump in a snail van

by handyman » 19 Feb 2012, 11:11

First post

Anybody any experience of putting a GSA lump and transmission in a snail van (Acadiane).

I have a friend who has come over from the dark side and bought a Citroen Acadiane van, but he finds the engine a little lacking in oomph and as he will be using it for his business, he wants it to be able to carry a load at reasonable speed. He has not...

Last post

It makes more sense to use a BMW bike engine, there are adaptors available. I think the 65hp version is normally used, but for reliability a GS box needs to be used, which as is mentioned above causes other problems. Using the fat four makes for a very front-heavy machine which can be fun but thirsty.

A good flat twin will pull an Acadiane along...

GS/GSA parts

by jwalshe » 05 Aug 2012, 20:11

First post

Hello all

Was clearing out my attic today and found a GS/GSA headlamp and grille plus a rear light for a GS (with the chrome surround). All used but in really good condition.

Obviously don't want to bin them but I'm heading up to the ICCCR in Yorkshire on Saturday in case anyone wanted to nab em off me?

Hopefully might be of use to somebody - I...

Last post

Hello all!

Malcolm says he'd like to see the GS/GSA parts when I'm at the rally on Saturday and in addition I found a perfect condition GSA instrument unit (all complete with speedo and warning diagram) and also a GS instrument cluster (stainless steel with all dials) in good condition. Plus a 2CV Charleston instrument unit.

If any of the...

GSA 2.jpg Having only just registered at this forum my nostalgia plugin has just reactivated. It's great to see that there are some dedicated keepers of classic Citroens out there, especially with cars that I have owned over the years, eg GS, CX, DS, BX etc..
Was sorting through some folders the other day & found this old picture of the GSA I...

Thanks for that Malcolm, I wish you luck with the front sunken GS. I see you have some other classics in your fleet, have owned those models myself. How about getting the DS on the road....
Regards, Adrian.

i would like nout more than getting her up on the road, but life has shoved her further and further back on the back burner :cry: :cry:...

Do all GS/A's hibernate while there is a risk of salt on the roads? I take mine for a run once a week just for fun.

Nice to know that there are still some GS/A'ers around. Gerry

It's now too late all the GS/A's and their owners seem to have gone into hibernation.

Restored GS..... sort of!

by wainy » 12 Aug 2011, 12:35

First post

Just thought I'd share pics of the results of a small scale restoration project.... 1:43 to be exact!

This was put together using two scrap Solido GS's bought from ebay a while back and put together as a GSX, complete with Jaune Helianthe body colour. My Dad's first GS in 1977 was a GSX exactly like this.... HLV 133P..... I didn't...

Last post

Next project (at this scale....) is a plastic Norev Ami 8 which is missing a wheel (doesn't stand on 3 wheels like a GS would :wink: ) and headlight......

Growing collection here too.....

Hi Folks

Thought it was about time I posted on here as I've been around since the Andyspares era.

We've still got our wonderful Dyane that's shown on my avatar.

For a couple of years my transport is a Xsara HDi - nowt wrong with it and fantastic mpg, but it's a modern, full of electronics (a subject which I do know summat about) and if anything...

That's right, Dickie; sold it as maintaining it takes your life over, but a great car.
They can be rather expensive to run, I spent quite a lot (loads) in the first couple of years after I bought mine.

Fair comment about the rest, but the comment below

and how on earth are you supposed to get it from Scotland with no wheels on it at either end?

only really applies to someone down South . :wink: The reverse is true about cheap motors way down in Kent or Cornwall...

By the way, if it is you Gerry - I'm Patrick's son and I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that that Blue Xantia Estate that you gave the details of to my dad is back on the road and being used daily by a friend. :)

It needed a good clean but it came up well - Link - to picture.
