Parts for Classic / Older Citroen, Peugeot Renault Vehicles

This may be of interest to Members with older vehicles where getting parts is a struggle and for those not already aware of the site.

PSA are embarking on a project to provide some supplies of original and re manufactured parts for older vehicles and classics, and have made it a...

Last post

I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

I've only had my Xantia a week. I thought that if you set the suspension to max height and switched the engine off, it would stay in the air. I set it up, went in for a coffee before starting work came back and the front had gone right down and the back was up in the air. Am I naive or is something wrong.

If everything was designed properly, then yes.
But in that case, they'd have put shear pins on the camshafts so that a broken timing belt wouldn't do so much harm, used LEDs or vibration-resistant lamps in the instrument panel, used waterproof connectors for ABS sensors etc. :D

Hi Simon,

Replacing the Bitron is the very last resort.
The most likely cause is bad contacts on the Bitron pins, particularly pins 7 & 14, which are the inputs from the brown temperature sensor.
The pins of the Bitron are tinned with solder, and they need a good scrape.
I scraped them with the rough end of a broken piece of metals hacksaw...

Tyre wear and steering pull

by Robin » 30 Dec 2005, 15:00

First post

Just wanted to share an experience. This has happened once before in my driving career, back in the mid 70's with a Rover on Pirelli Cints.
After having the steering checked and rechecked on my XM without any change in the tendancy for the car to gently pull to the right I noticed that the offside front tyre was wearing unevenly on the outside...

Last post

I fully support your conclusions. Probably 90% of steering problems are attributable to uneven tyre wear, unmatched or unevenly inflated tyres. Incorrect front wheel alignment will cause a number of strange steering charactaristics and wear, but rarely 'pulling' to one side.

Last post

Check all the fuses first, if you havn't allready done so. It would seem that you have a high resistance connection somewhere, its more likely to be under the bonnet as thats where most of the corrosion occurs. If there are more fuses there, pull them out, check them, if they look dirty or corroded, give them a good clean.

The Lower Engine Mounting was replace 22000 miles ago (its got a very comprehensive service history). Sorry to be green but is the lower mount the rear one? I haven't had chance to get underneath yet, I only bought it on thursday and then there was christmas etc!

Last post

It's the one that's behind the sump. You won't see it unless you get the car a bit off the ground and get underneath.

how long for suspension to rise?

by _kid_ » 27 Dec 2005, 00:50

First post

Can anyone give a definitive time taken for the car to rise after it is left for a long period of time (specifically if left say 12hours or more eg overnight). Mine takes 10 secs for the STOP light to go out, and another 20seconds for the suspension to rise to ride height. The car is the standard 6-sphere type.

Cheers and a HNY

Last post

That sounds about right for an anti-sink model. Presumably it is not going completely down overnight, only down an inch or two ?

On an anti-sink model you can drive off as soon as the stop light goes out provided the suspension wasn't completely down to begin with...

Mine (hydractive 2) takes about 8 seconds for the stop light to go out and a...

you will need to check your additive tank is not empty first if that is ok and you have already changed fap filter you will need to get your counters reset in additive ecu this tells engine ecu how much additive is loaded in fap filter,also driving the car for 20 mins at a constant speed say 100 kmh this should trigger the engine ecu to start...

Xantia Hand Break almost gone after changing front tyres!!

by modibaba » 19 Dec 2005, 21:36

Hi,
I had my front tyres replaced today then my hand break became very loose, it dosn't workas before and I have to pull it really high comparing to what it was before I replaced the tyres, can you help. Thanks

I think £40.00 for the cable is about twice GFS price, but its probably a genuine Citroen. £40.00 for fitting is probably about the right price for a garage.

Laptop DVD Rom

Runing either Win 98SE or XP Home & using Mediacar software.

Funny, I had a idea of replacing the speedo with a LCD screen....

What are these like for changing?

Rossnunn, as you said, small world.

There aren't many black V reg XMs about, if you see one it's almost certain to be me, give us a wave! Or if you fancy a short drive you'll find me in Littlemoor Lane, off the A16, last house on the right before you come to the bank road.

C5 Traffic Master

First post

Hello,
This is fitted (as standard I think) to my 2002 LX HDI estate but is not licensed. Does anybody out there use this system and can advise if it is worth the license fee? What do you get for your money? Is a hack available? (Tch Tch!!)
Regards,
John.

I have renewed my Trafficmaster twice now. It has saved me from queues, mainly on motorways. It is good when driving in unknown areas. £30 for a year is nothing compared to fuel, depreciation, servicing.......
