Hey folks.... Well, stumbled across this site as I researched solve-it's for my 3 strokes of bad luck...... throttle cable, bonnet catch, no cold start....
any ways, after ankle biter number 2 appeared the need for a family estate arrived... so wife bought a Vectra.... on the way home from buying it it blew up, so i fitted a new engine..... 8 months later... BOOM.....
So in haste I needed a car for work....... and I spotted the xantia on fleabay.....
95 VSX estate, 19td with bosch pump, 1 months tax, 11 months mot, won for £250.....
I feared it would be a heap... but until yesterday it's been pretty damn good for a car with 198000mls on the wrinkle counter...
here's a piccie... i've branded him ecto1....
took it from the doorstep as its just started raining.... oh, and its in service high as i was topping up the lmf....
anyways, here's to asking a thousand questions and hopefully providing some answers too!!!
