Why would you want to go and do thaaaat!!??

Which green are you talking about, I'm after an emerald green facelift/mk2 bonnet and the plastic trim piece that sits under the driver's headlight.

Is it a mark 1 or 2 please?

I'm sure its the Mk1 and it has a sportier bumper at the front with fogs, by the way its an exclusve model with an auto box. where do I find the paint code on these french cars?

1998 would be mark2, not the mark1 as he originally thinks

The paint code is stencilled onto the bulkhead in the engine bay - imagine it's drawn onto the engine bay wall level with where you're normally looking at the speedo!

It's a series of 4-5 white numbers and letters CR7YY or whatever [I've forgotten mine]

The giveaway if it's a Mk 2 is the grille being incorporated into the nose of the bonnet!!

another guess from me: I'd say yes it is leather too, being an exclusive and a V6,

OH HOLD ON, a vsx AND exclusive? aren't they the same thing, vsx on mark1 and exclusive on mark2? i still think it's a mark2 being an exclusive and 1998

yes it is leather but I'm afraid thats gone! will let you all know tomorrow about mk1 or mk2. It had eletric leather seats. Does anybody know if any of them are heated?

BUT, this may clarify as I have had a xantia HDI W/2000 reg and the front of that was sharper - more pointy at the end of the bonnet. Does that help?

Will let you know about the paint code tomorrow

I could do with the rear wiper relay, does anybody know where its located? Mine appears to have gone up the spout!

alloy wheels for me please!

Hello,

If it has a huge grab rail in the dash infront of the passenger seat, it's mk 1. If it has a no rail and a passenger airbag, it's mk2.

Hope this helps,

Rob

What's the story ? Why is it being broken up for spares ?

What's the condition of the engine ?

something wrong with the cam/lifters giving a tapping sound so it was disposed of. engine and pieces still in boot. wheels have gone. will find out paint code this week

A mute point, but the VSX and the Exclusive were available in both Series 1 & Series 2. and no they arent the same.
