jon,
have you got any further on the metal clutch cable clip?
as have found out after doing 600 miles in one day that my clutch seems a lot heavier that i thought & might look at replacing the cable & clip
this might start to solve my current problems with having trouble of getting it into gear first time
xantia 1.6 '93 petrol

<font color="blue">We were actually going to visit the supplier last Friday, and bring back some samples. However, due a colleagues illness, the trip was cancelled.
I will try and get the guy to post me some. I will then advice price and scan a picture of it.</font id="blue">

Did this progress any further? Was the metal clip any good? Do peugeots really have a metal clip?
Thanks

Could be very interesting to get a metal clip supply. Was looking for a TD Xantia today for a mate who i have 'converted', found one going for under £200 as it had a clutch that had simply gone one day. Im guessing by the rest of the article that its simply owned by someone who doesnt have a clue about the car. If it was just the link, how nice would that be

Many thanks for the information Jon and Phil. I might just write him a letter. The metal bits can live in the glovebox until the seemingly inevitable happens.....

I have posted a picture of a completed clutch cable mod at the above link.
I used a metal link from a peugeot 405 Diesel.
The uppermost tip on the Xantia cable was removed and the metal link slightly modified to facilitate access.
Removing the pedal is another subject which I think has already been covered in this forum and is not so daunting as it might at first seem.
For about a fiver a long fishook disgorger can be purchased from a fishing shop which greatly assists when messing about with the xantia clip.
