Strange Xantia Ticking!

Post by Sahand »

Hi all,
I bought a 230K 1994 TD Xantia just before new year. Despite from the braking shakes (which i assume relates to fron and/or rear discs warp - and am bidding on ebay to get one [:D]) it had no other problems. Until recently it began ticking and last week it was ticking so quickly maybe every 5-10 sec. Even once it ticked every 2s for a short period! so reading previous posts i ordered an accumulator sphere (SP376). However the ticking disappeared as soon as the sphere arrived and now ticks maybe 30+ sec!! seems the car just wanted £31 off my pocket! any suggestions?
meanwhile, rear of the car sinks very slowly from full to normal height using the lever. is this related to acc.?
thank you all.
Homer

They do that. I still have a brake light switch for a '94 model which I ordered after mucking around with the switch for several hours. By the time the part arrived the car had healed it's self. I kept hold of the switch expecting it to go again.
