throtle cable
All reet peeps!!!!! got a xantia td lx estate recently and the accelorator seems to b stiff it revs up ok but revs are slow to decrease when foot is off the accelorator.Ive realeased the cable from the fuel pump and this seems to be free backwards and forward could it be down to the gas strutt on the pump been at fault or is it somethin more sinister? oh it only does this when the engine is warm,when first started the engine revs correctly [?]

Firstly check the routing of the cable under the bonnet, see if the thing is being trapped or is running in any tight curves that can be avoided, the gas strut can be safely removed to see if its at fault, AFAIK it was originally fitted to slow throttle closing and make the engine braking more gentle.
