Clutch release / pressure bearing. My old Zx had this noise and it lasted for 152K no problems. If you want it changing then best to have the whole clutch changed as well in one go. Could be result of resting your foot on clutch pedal, slipping the clutch when pulling away or pulling away in the wrong gear.

My guess would be that you need to replace the centre, anti-sink sphere. You can do that independantly of the rear wheel spheres. If you decide to change it, undo the pipe union at the back of the sphere, before spinning off the sphere itself. Fail to undo the pipe union first, and you'll end up sheering the hydraulic pipe. Presumably you've read...

Are the cams themselves undamaged? camprofiles are carefully calculated to reduce acceleration of the cam / valve contact and to allow quiet running. Only a small amount of wear will change this and cause tapping. It may be possible to pinpoint the problem using a rod held to your ear.

The GSF catalogue gives the part for all hatchbacks (except the 2.0 petrol turbo, V6, HDi and 2.1 TD) as N62316.
This is a 266mm disc, but its probably worth checking the diameter on your own car, because my 1997 1.9TD hatch inexplicably left the factory fitted with the discs/pads/calipers from the estate version!

OK
Looks like I need to buy another car. Heres my list of priorities:
1) Reliable vehicle, diesel preferred capable of 800 mile weeks
2) Good economy
3) Not too slow! Must be fairly enjoyable to drive.
4) Toys (aircon, ABS, remote locking etc) desirable
5) Must have 4 doors.
Budget £5k ish.

With a Xantia at idle, how many pipes should be returning a good flow of LHM?
I originally thought only one - from the regulator, but the car has a 6+2 pump without flow divider, so I'm guessing that there's one return from the regulator and one from the power steering.
That right?

That's odd.
The glowplug timer lamp is earthed one side within the instrument panel, and is feeded a +12V from the glowtimer unit as long as the timing occurs.
This means the timer circuit itself is leaking some smallish voltage to the timer lamp, when it's not supposed to do so.
Could be a simple corrosion problem, 2 nearby connectors on the...

You're right. If the car has been standing for a week, the oil can't be leaking from the sump gasket. I would 'gunk' the engine - getting it clean and dry. Start the engine, then look for the leak. Obviously, if the leak is on the rocker cover for instance, the oil will run down and drip off the sump.
