We're back!!
I wanted the little 7mm ball bearing that is behind the pressure release screw, as I thought I had lost it.
My local dealer said can't buy just that , need to by whole pressure reg and sphere!!!
£ 300 odd quid.
So of course I bought 3 just in case I lost the ball bearing again. ( Wise move don't you think?).
Same dealers spent 3 hours with my Activa trying to sort out my suspension woes ,charged me only for 1.5 hours £115 but could not find anything wrong it, as it is an intermittent fault.
Rip off or what I went home crying and guess what?
They mech***ic broke 2 studs off my locking wheelnut key and said nothing.
Arguing with them did nowt so had to buy 4 ally wheel studs to replace locking ones as you can't just buy the key, have to buy whole set!!!!!
Main Dealers!

Luckily, because the Cit garage has been around here for so long, the small, local garages all have Citroen servicing stuff on hand. They can even make hydraulic pipes up, at 1/3 of the main dealer price The biggest taxi firm in town runs exclusivly on Xantias, and there's always plenty of Xant's for sale locally. I got mine from Buckie, about 20 miles along the coast.

'96 Xantia 2.0i 16v SX Estate
When my Dad was getting the intercooler for his synergie he thought what the hell i will go into the stealership see what they charge i cant remember exactly what they charge but it was in the area of £250+ inc VAT without fitting, then he was speaking to a friend of his who happend to know where to get intercoolers from so he gave them a call and they wanted about £130 inc VAT now heres the bombshell ....... the company he bought his £130 intercooler was exactly the same company who make and supply the stealership who gave us the quote of £250+ for the same intercooler so i suppose its cheaper to go to the supplier
