Well, at first it was just the common problem of a broken clutch cable clip. But eventually I have got to the stage of having a working clutch but NO MUSIC!!
After reconnecting the battery the radio wanted me to input the code, but I didn't have it. My local Citroen Dealer (Newport I.O.W. - very helpful) looked it up through the VIN, but it didn't work. Presume the radio has been changed. I will try to contact the previous owners, but as I have all the paperwork and service history I don't expect any joy from them.
So, any ideas? Or do I just upgrade my music (it was suggested £50 to re-code, but I can buy a CD system for £99).
Also (coincidence?) the intermittent and wash/wipe has packed up.
(Oh,the radio is a 3030)

I had to buy a replacement 3030 for my xantia about 3 months ago and had the problem of no radio code and the breakers had already crushed the car so no vin.I remember a firm on the net,somewhere in scotland i believe,who can supply the code from the serial no of the radio.As far as i know this is only applicable to xantia's fitted with the blaupunkt type radio, although there were listings for other models as well.50 quid is a lot as most radio shops only charge between 10-15 pounds to change the code.If the code has been changed in the past then only option is recoding im afraid.
IMHO it's time some politician or other took-up this nonsense and forced manufacturere to find a better security-scheme.
If a house-alarm forced you to rewire the cooker with the mains turned on, the H&S people would soon ban the thing. Why are cars any different, I ask? Beacuse it's 12v doesn't mean it cant take your fingers off if the starter kicks-in accidentally.
