I managed to do it yesterday, it was the drivers side so not too easy to get too. Though ive got to say i also pulled the wires gently to remove the bulb holder.

For some reason the dial that diverts the fan air-flow between the windcreen/face/feet etc makes no changes when its rotated. the air comes straight out the vents on the dash only. So its virtualy impossible to demist the windscreen - which is really dangerous this time of year... there is resistance when you turn the dial, and viewed from below...

Last post

Welcome to our troubles, Krim J. :twisted:

Not sure about the Xsara, but if the Xantia is anything to go by, the moving cable is the white outer sheath of the cable that’s escaped from its clamp at the control end.
You will need dismantling a bit to reattach it.

My Xantia's decided to dump all it's LHM on the driveway. I suspect it's one of the rubber pipes that goes to the LHM tank (I recently had a dodgy garage burst one of them while replacing a clutch).

The front and rear anti sink valves are the same unit, we get lots of leaks with the front only and never the rear one!

Any ideas?

Last post

check the 16 pin grey connector on the under bonnet fusebox, this is where the fuel pump feed comes out, the pins can over heat & cause connection problems. have a look at the pins on the fusebox carefully & check to see if any of them have a blue coloured coating (cant remember the pin no off hand), clean the pin & re fit & see if it works then.
