I can't speak for Xsara in particular but the ease or difficulty of getting exhausts apart is determined by the type of joint between the pipes. Xantia boxes have mating bevelled flanges encircled by a split clip. If yours is like this then you should have no problems providing you can get the bolt which tightens the clip undone. Liberal use of a...

Hi,
Would I need to bleed the `high pressure` side of the system if I change this, or just use the little hand pump with the ignition on as the Haynes Manual says.

My '95 Xantia with the same engine did 149k on the original clutch. The pressure plate broke and its springs escaped so a new clutch was needed, but the friction plate and release bearing were both OK and its those that usually cause people trouble.

What's the point of the numbers anyway? I mean, how accurate is it going to be? There was nothing wrong with the old red=too hot, blue=too cold and roughly halfway=normal. I think Citroën were just trying to be sophisticated. It would have looked better if the needle sat horizontally at normal too, in my opinion.

Donno on these separate PAS pumps.
But I think it's more or less a question of using your fantasy.
You must find a way bleeding the system from a low point. Then top up with clean (correct !) fluid. I'm unsure if you can use any common automobile cleaner, like petrol, thinner or white spirit. My concern is the seals.

To remove scratches from an alloy surface, you have to do a filling and then polishing.
Donno if such a repair is possible to do lasting as DIY. I doubt as the wheel is opposed to large forces and harsh environment.
