Check the action of the accelerator lever on the pump when someone floors it.
Check all jubilee clips around induction pipes, and also check the rubber pipe that goes to the UFO on top of the fuel pump, that is prone to splitting.

Xantia loss of power
The Accelerator cable passes through a bracket and into the fuel pump lever . At the bracket there is a metal washer , should there be a spring clip or r clip to hold it in place . What is this missing piece called ? it"s the reason for my loss of power .anyone got any ideas what Iam missing ?
