It is that loud that one can hear the tickings inside the car, when I touch it with my finger I can feel the the ticking. I compare it with the FPR of my Ford Focus, the Fords one is very quite and I can't feel its tickings when I touch it

Of course its not a guarantee of a good car, but just to show it has had oil changes at the right times is a big bonus. Obviously there is no assurance of the garage carrying out the work which has been paid for but you would hope it had been.

Xsara Picasso headlights - dipping

I've just bought a late 2004 UK-spec. Xsara Picasso Excl. and now need to register it in France. This will entail getting headlamps that dip in the correct direction for here. Some cars' headlamps can be adjusted to dip either way - does anyone know if this applies to the Piccy?

Last post

Pretty sure you will need to change the lights for LHD ones - they're simple old school incandescent jobbies - and not all that great at that as they use H4 bulbs, so the dip goes off when you go to main :roll:

Back again...

1995 ZX 1.9D, now on 136K. Since going into partnership with the car at 98K, I've been changing the oil every 4500 miles using Shell Helix 15W/40 and Purflex filters.

Recently, there was a post - which I now can't find - where someone said they change their oil every 3000 miles. This got me thinking (always a dangerous moment)...

Last post

How things have changed, before the modern diesel era I used to run quite a few cars fitted with Perkins 4/108 engines, you had to change the oil every 2,000 miles or when you unscrewed the drain plug nothing happened, I used to put a pint of diesel in the oil and run the engine to get it thin enough to come out!

Is the large tray that sits under the engine necessary?

Mines come away at the back and the bolts that hold it on have rusted solid and many have come away so I've just removed the whole thing. No more oil trap/tool thief/nut and bolt hider.

It won't cause any problems?

Will make the oil change much easier!!!!

OK Jim, ref recent correspondence we've had, you said my high tick rate could be due to a Hydractive fault.

Currently, I'm stuck in hard on the Xantia (sounds a bit rude that, says the missus) and the back end drops quickly once the engine stops. Regulator ticks about every 5/6 seconds.

Could this be an internal leak? What do I need to look...

Thanks for the handy tips, Mandrake! Though now I'm loath to take down the damn thing again, it will have to wait.

Not a single drop in soft or hard (engine running, fuse F34 removed) mode. I wish I had done...
