FIXED - Xantia fault code reader & my fault

sbraud · Post by **sbraud** » 12 Nov 2004, 13:21

Has anyone found a fault code reader for the Xantia that works, apart from Sykes-Pickavant @ £300 plus cradle?
Like a lot of others, my cit has an intermittent fault light. This ones at speeds between 50 and 80mph after 2 or 3 miles between these speeds only. Below 50mph OK and if I accelerate hard to over 80 before fault light kicks-in, then OK. Only seems to come on when doing constant 50-70mph. If light is on and I slow down below 50 for a mile or two light goes out!
Anyone else seen this or found a code reader that works?
Ps. If anyone has a Sykes-Pickavant for Xant and lives in and around Dartford/Gravesend SE London, I’ll happily part with some cash to use it!
Cheers.
Steve

I do have the Sykes reader and am willing to help but I live near junction 16/17 M25.
