Contemplating the Ultimate Sin & Scrapping a Xant Exclus

Post by rory_perrett »

Confession time!

I’m thinking of scrapping my ‘98 Series 2 Xantia 2.1TD Exclusive. The cambelt jumped for the second time due to a stripped auxiliary belt when some of the bits of the auxiliary belt got inside the cam cover. Although I subsequently reset the timing and got it going again, its not happy (ok once its running but reluctant to start). I’m sure it needs a new auxiliary belt tensioner to stop it happening again on top of a new cambelt and anything else required to sort out the poor starting. Thinking of having a stripfest over Easter. Will be putting a fair few bits and pieces into stock as my replacement car is a Xantia Hdi Exclusive. However, other bits will be available at very reasonable prices. I am located near Leeds, the car is a Metalic blue hatchback (paint code KPK) and has covered 225k miles.

Hi Rory, what colour Blue is it? is it the same as this one? and if so what condition are the front and rear bumpers, mirror caps and side trims? And if they are in good nick, how much do you want for each bit?

As much as I hate to see a 2.1TD die, provided it enables others to live then I'm content.. It has had a good life, having clocked up 225K :D

If you do break it Rory, can I put my name down for the hydractive sphere blocks complete with electrovalves and hydractive ECU please?

Does it have the winter pack as my headlamp washer pump has packed up again?
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right
