Right I've given up trying to find the sphere tester that uses a bottle jack, and as I will only use it on my car spending around £100 to get one machined is not something I want to do.

So, my biggest stumbling block is part where the sphere would screw into.

Does anyone have an old part that a sphere would screw into that they are willing to...

I have a few parts for a 99 1.8 Xantia available which was sadly written off by a distracted driver a few months ago. Parts are used unless stated otherwise. Need these parts to go as a job lot so make me an offer:

Front passenger side window regulator mechanism
Brand new Keyparts water pump and gasket - OEM 120198
Outer LH rear light

I'm scrapping our 54 plate Xsara Picasso shortly. It a 1.8i, on 89K miles with a rather rattly engine, as the pressure sensor failed & dumped all the engine oil, although it still runs.
Happy to strip off parts & post.

It has a remarkably clean interior as it was only used locally, but has one or two dented panels (not by me!). Recent new parts...

2002 Xsara 90hp Hdi Estate for sale.
Metallic red, only 80,000 miles recorded.

From my deceased dads car collection, needs some work for MOT but nothing major, would do myself but too many other things on.
Starts, runs and moves ok,
Too good to scrap and getting very rare now.

Hi all, want to put a standard DIN stereo in my Activa, and really want one of those flip-front adapters rather than the plain fascia types. Would anyone have one laying around they'd be willing to sell me? Like below:

Thanks

Long shot I know but I’ll ask anyway. My S2 Xantia’s strut tops have got the usual metal worm and will have to be replaced. These are the hydractive types with 10mm pipe and approx 15mm union,

I have a Lucas EPIC pump i removed from a 1997 Peugeot 406 in December 2022, it now has a bosch mechanical pump on it.

It had a few quirks when running, when it was fine it worked well but it randomly took notions for having an erratic idle or building revs without any input. It also weeped a bit of diesel. The wires that enter the top of the...

Hello folks

I took my car in for a check of the suspension at the weekend. Some of the issues are caused by sticking mechanical height corrector mechanisms, not the hydraulic part. The garage told me the ball on the end of the bracket, which clamps to front and rear antiroll bars. is very rusty. If the plastic dog bone linkage is disconnected...

Thanks in advance, Alan

Hi - sold my green '93 ZX 2.0i 16v about 3 years ago and regretted it ever since especially as my son is now showing an interest. It needed a bit of work and I sold it to someone who promised to do it properly ... within 3 weeks it was on Ebay!

I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows of one for sale or someone who could be parted from theirs....

E-bay

Presume it is on an Ami Super chassis, looks like wider tyres on the front. Might be a mare to get it road registered though if it's got no paperwork - needs an IVA? (or whatever they are calling it these days).

My 1993 Xantia with just 38k on its 1.9 XUD diesel, normally aspirated, a green one needs help. I'm hoping to either buy another one with broken mechanicals, but excellent bodywork. Or failing this, invest around £600 in a concours respray. Lifelong connections in the motor trade will make this happen. 12 months ago, in a moment of madness, I came...

I have a 2.2 HDi C5 Exclusive, one of the last of the diesel Mk 1, from 2004, VIN: VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]
The Haynes manual contains only representative wiring diagrams, and insufficient detail.
I used to have an excellent manual, that consisted of 26GB of data, and included everything needed for servicing and repair, with all the wiring detail....

There looks to be a number of different versions of these door lock mechanisms & at least to me they look identical but i cant see them being interchangeable, i have the part numbers (confirmed by GiveMeABreak & Wheeler), osf 9136 P2 & nsf 9135 N6. The vehicle is a 5 door, 2005 car, RP number 1033489 which i think makes it a late spec' 2005 car in...

Hello everyone. I own a 2009 Citroen c5 x7 saloon 2.2 hdi vtr+ nav. I am looking into changing my hydraulic suspension to standard shocks and springs. I have been told that the suspension from a Peugeot 407 saloon would bolt straight on, is this true? Can it be done? Has anyone else done this?

If it is possible… is anyone breaking a 407 saloon...

Hello folks.

My brother has recently bought a Xantia Hdi estate. He is in process of giving it a major overhaul, and found the small metal clip holding the white semi rectangular filter to the cluster is missing. Does anyone out there have a spare they are willing to sell?

James

These are not cheap car mats, these are luxury mats which I paid over £65 for. They are for a Peugeot 308 mk2 hatchback (2013 - 2021). I part exchanged my 308 in January and put the old mats back in the car as these were to good to let go to Motorpoint. Very good condition ,not even sure the back ones have ever been used as very rare I had anyone...

Well, my trusty C5 has unfortunately died so not so trusty anymore.

Before sending her to the great scrapyard in the sky, I thought it may have parts needed by some on here, (but probably not!).

Stuff that may be of interest:

A set of 4 recent tyres which have probably done 2,000 miles.

A recent new Citroen fusebox fitted at great expense.

After nearly eight years the time has come to find a new home for my Xantia.

1996 (P-reg) Series 1 Xantia SX, 1.9TD Estate, manual transmission.

175,000 miles.

Used as my daily car since purchased in March 2016. It has been extremely reliable in that time but changing circumstances mean I need to start using something more modern, and the...

Since my Friendly Neighbourhood Bin Wagon cut the corner and swiped my driver's side wing mirror trim clean off, I am in need of a new one. I looked, but the old one was pulverized on the road :-(

Hi, I have a rear silencer box for the above in good condition going free. It's a shame to throw it since they must be on the pricey side and harder to come by,

My C5 died and needs replacing.

I want an older C5 petrol which I be will using as a workhorse picking up and delivering generally dirty and horrible used car parts. Not too bothered about body condition, a few bumps and scratches are Ok, but don't like rust! Mechanically sound and serviced with timing belts changed etc.

An extremely rare opportunity for someone has arisen! My 56 reg Citroen C6 has basically become a rather large millstone for me, and needs to be moved on, sooner rather than later.

Thanks

My son was involved in a no fault horrific accident on Wednesday evening in his xantia which will be a total write off. The engine moved and the battery was lying in the road, difficult to tell from the front what make the car was.

Thankfully his 28 year old airbag deployed and the seat belt pretensioner held, so apart from bruising and aches and...
