Yes,

Once you've fitted relays, then higher output bulbs seems to be the only option remaining. I'll see how the relay installation performs on my car (fitted 1 relay on the dip circuit) before uprating the bulbs

From Hayness book I understand, that topping must to be provided in lower position. Do I understand correct? (in Xintia I did this in upper position).
Then, they recommend to use special tools to extract air from the system.
I have not it. Is Citrobix enough?

Ah! Your drawing does not agree with mine, the pump drawing is identical BUT Item 6 marked Air Intake IS NOT an air intake it is actually the main pump suction input and is so marked on my drawing, i.e should and does go to the bottom of the reservoir.

Last post

I have an old Navman 530 and I have used it in loads of cars including a C5 and it has never had a problem in obtaining a Sat. fix.

IMO Brodit clips are best.. remember, if you need reading glasses you don't want to have the satnav positioned so you have to keep putting your glasses on or to far away that you can't see it.

If your sunergie has the ole XUD TD Engine, check your Injector leak off pipes, these can get quite brittle from heat, and split, it may split enough to let air in and allow draining, but not enough to allow diesel to seep out..

Hi, been a while since I was here.

I bought some Beru plugs for my Xantia months ago with the intention of replacing them myself, regardless of the car's history. Never did, of course!

Car has about 79K on the clock (1995).

Anyway, I asked the local garage to do them, and they did so, but said that the ones they took out were in 'very good'...

My MOT is due so I checked my car over for any faults and found that the handbrake was coming on earlier on one side than on the other. So I disassembled the rear drum brakes (Girling), cleaned everything up and reassembled. Now I'm finding that the offside handbrake lever (inside the drum) is not moving back to the shoe after the handbrake has...

I bought new rear drums and wheel bearings for my ZX 1.9D and kept them for years before I eventually got around to having the bearings pressed in by an engineering company. When I fitted the drums I found that the bearings had play in them. When I rocked the road wheel I could definitely feel a knock. As the MOT was due I refitted the old hubs...

If you've got a single brake piston with sliding calipers then pulling to the left could be caused by the sliding calipers on the front left not sliding properly. There are two metal shims/bolts on which the caliper slides and four rubber gaiters. Check the gaiters. If they've split then the caliper slide might seize and this usually causes one...
