Improved feature for unsubscribing from email notifications

by xantia_v6 » 11 Jul 2019, 06:09 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

As part of the work being done to improve the deliverability of emails, I have made some changes to the system for unsubscribing from email notifications.

These changes are to ensure stricter compliance with RFC2369 and RFC8058 (which are the internet standards for such things), there are also some additions for Microsoft-specific rules which are...

Restrictions for users with @outlook.com and @hotmail.com addresses - RESOLVED

First post

We cannot currently deliver notification or registration emails to users with @outlook.com an @hotmail.com email addresses.

This is due to Microsoft having designated our server as being a junk mail source, apparently because some users have been moving our notification emails to their 'junk' folders.

There appears to be nothing that we can do...

Finally, after a month of sending repeated support requests to Microsoft, and spending quite a bit of time researching and rewriting some of the forum software to be more RFC compliant, we have been advised that Microsoft are no longer blocking our emails.

Note that in the meantime, to reduce the quantity of bounced emails, we have adjusted the...

ZX Blower failure

by froggy » 23 Jun 2012, 18:37

First post

Hi, the blower in my 1995 ZX has just stopped working . I have checked the fuse, it/s ok . I changed the resistor pack last year, so hopefully that/s ok . Iam wondering, could it be the switch ( dashboard) or maybe the motor itself . If so, how can I test both items? Thanks inadvance Terry . [-o<

Last post

Hi Terry. As Lighty stated, and as happened with mine, the blower gets tight and blows the resistors. Time for a replacement blower.

It's an easy DIY job if you can get one.

C5 MkII aircon failure

by Superaquarama » 29 May 2012, 21:44

First post

Recently bought a s/hand '08 C5 whose aircon didn't work. Under warranty, so took it back & they regassed it and it worked fine - for a few days ! Then in S France realised it wasn't working again, so took to a Citroen garage who checked it over, left a pressure test on it for an hour, declared no leaks, regassed it (and added dye, none visible)...

Last post

New pipe arrived and cost ~35 quid - it is modified in that the metal section that connects to the compressor is longer and has three bends in it, presumably to cause less flexing/twisting of the rubber section during engine torque reaction? It did come with the 4 x sealing rings in the end and was a doddle to fit - 10 minute job max. Regassed it...

Can anyone show me how to remove the front door trims on my 2009 C5 Tourer? I've just had a new window mechanism fitted under warranty but they seem to have left something rattling around inside - it's too much inconvenience to take it back for them to sort!

Last post

take it back ! its a pain of a job and the clips will most likely break and you need to buy new ones to re-fit. seems a very common fault, the metal cable corrodes and the window can't go up/down anymore

My 1995 ZX 1.9D Elation has a TDC sensor - as I found while taking the gearbox off to change the clutch. I've pondered upon this all day and still can't think of any reason why it's there - unless it's for diagnostics. The only bit of electric string going to the inj pump is for the fuel cut-off solenoid.
Does anyone know why it's there...? :?

You really do need to be careful with tracking, you will be surprised by how little movement creates a big difference at the wheel, due to the leverage effect.

Yes, shortening the track rods pulls the wheels to toe out, making them longer creates more toe in.

Hi,
a fellah helped me from Greece, no sooner did I get a pdf from him, I immediately placed an order with the Technosir for the valprex valves, C850 Eccentric valve remover tool, as well as the Technosir C720, I got a return communication from Sandro at Technosir and I initiated a payment via the PP and their parcel was here to Canada from...

Last post

I do not see any current message pertaining to the Trchnosir
I posted yesterday, that one is shortly to arrive at my house - ordered after the comments of people including yourself. It will need adapting to the Australian gas bottle thread (probably a $100 exercise).

On other websites, I read some criticism that Valprex valves don't hold...

window door trim what to do??

by waynedance » 28 Jun 2012, 20:29

First post

The trim on my car doors have a few lumps under the rubber I guess from the alloy going funny. What can be done with these did think about using a hammer to gently flatten them.

Last post

Don't think it necessarily means the metal underneath is rusting. MY rubber has a few bumps too but the metal is fine. Think it's the result of UV on the rubber.

Xantia HDI

Hi,
How do I find out if I have a Xantia HDI 90 or HDI 109 ??

Last post

According to the VIN its RHZ for a 110. Dont know if thats good or bad to be honest!

Eddie, believe me that's good :-D The 110 is a superb motor. Some say the 90 is a bit or a weakling in comparison but to be honest I can't comment as I've only ever driven a 110...

Just had the injectors done on my ZX...

by RussellF97 » 28 Jun 2012, 11:52

First post

Hi All,

After a year or so of my ZX (1995 1.9D, 139,500) getting more and more asthmatic, to the point where it was getting embarrassing on steep hills, I finally had the injectors serviced. Woo-hoo...! What a difference. It now starts easier, it doesn't puff out clouds of blue smoke when starting, it's got rid of the annoying chugging at idle...

Last post

Peter.N.: Unfortunately it's not just a slight slipping. It now gets embarrassing on hills for an entirely different reason!
The new clutch is on order from eBay and I'll be getting the gearbox out over the weekend for when it arrives. What fun. 8-)

Hi, how difficult is it to fit an auxcillary belt on my 1997 Xantia ? never done it before ! any aqdvice will be gratefully received, thanks Terry .

Last post

Get the ecu box out the way, look down between the auto tensioner pulley and the hydraulic pump, you'll see a tab with a square hole, recessed by about an inch.
I have a small breaker bar with a floppy head which can get into the square hole at an angle.
I've also used a pair of size adaptors (best to go large, then back to 3/8) as they were about...

Stuffed C5 2.2 - Questions

by addo » 28 Jun 2012, 10:38

First post

OK, there is no practical way an outcome of scrapping the car is to be entertained.

I am just the messenger/gobetween in this one; a local car has had a motor swap organised by another bloke I occasionally work for. He sublet it, and now it's come back on a tilt tray. Neither he nor I have confidence in the sublet agent's ability to make good -...

The 2.2 is a direct injection engine so no swirl chambers.

C5 bumper replacement (Mk3 2009)

by whatdoesthisbuttondo » 26 Jun 2012, 10:08

First post

I've managed to scrape the NSFront side bumper just in front of the wheel arch whilst turning a corner, and its lost a bit of its 'Gallic flair'.
Does anyone know if the 'chrome' inserts on the bumper can be replaced or is it one big bumper piece? The plastic drirectly below the trim is scratched as well, can it be filled and painted?
Thanks!

Last post

Thanks very much Gents!
I live in Leeds, Norfolks a bit too far for me!!.....
I dont fancy my cack handed results so I think Ill get a quote to fill it and paint it. As for the chrome bumper edge, Ive seen them on different sites, all around the £38 mark.

I have been working thru some issues with a V6 I bought a year ago & the only major issue I have left is that it seems VERY thirsty on petrol. It seems to run very well, smooth, very strong acceleration, there does not seem to be any odd problems,..( leaking fuel etc) so I was wondering just what can be done to tune a car these days?? A mechanic...

Ok chaps, an update on the MPG situation. I seem to be getting a consistent 20MPG +/- 1MPG pretty much regardless of the balance between urban and motorway driving... :?

What I have discovered is a completely knackered right hand outer track rod joint. I can wobble the slack by turning the hub very easily and although I haven't measured it I...

Rapidly blinking right turm doing my nut

by boristhespie » 27 Jun 2012, 15:06

First post

Okay so left indicator okay. The right decided to double speed. Someone said it could be to do with bulbs. I did have YET ANOTHER bulb go but I just changed it and it's still having a blinkin fit (see what I did there ;).

Is there a setting maybe. I know some european cars have this speed of blinkin but really it is really getting on my nerves.

Last post

I had this on my Xantia, it ended up being a faulty connection in the indicator stalk, fitted a replacement one from the breakers and problem solved.

C5 Limp mode issues

by Tony Quinn » 21 Jun 2012, 21:19

First post

As you'll see from the Intro section, about a month ago I bought a 51 reg 2.2HDi Exclusive. The previous owner, Phil1969, had experienced some problems ( see onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;) which was traced to a punctured swirl valve diaphragm. This was replaced by Phil1969 who reported back on the forum that the car was now OK....

Last post

Yes, I think I understand that. The car's running fine now. Many thanks. Tony Q
