Our Xantia HDi 110 Exclusive is still a baby compared with some of these!

107k on her.

Done a lot of work to it so hopefully we'll get a few more years service from her yet...

Rear Spheres
Accumulator Sphere
Rear Silencer on Exhaust
Front Discs & Pads
Track Rod End & Track Rod
4 Michelin Tyres
Crank Shaft Pulley
Aux Belt Tensioner
Aux Belt
Injector Washers & Spaces
Replacement Glow Plugs
Replacement Glow Plug Box
Replacement Igniton Switch
Fuel Filters
Air Filters
Oil Filters
Wishbone Bushes
Rear Engine Mount Rubber
Rear Window Regulator
Track Rod End (Other side)
8 Replacement Spheres
Timing Belt
Water Pump

(I've got a spreadsheet of all the work done to it so I can keep a record easily.)

On parts alone I've spent about £1300 in 2 years getting the car up to scratch. That includes a set of Michelin tyres, and both MOT's.

Gonna need another crank shaft pulley before long too as the Euro Car Parts one on it has covered everything in that lovely brown dust and I've lost the receipt!

It just sailed through it's MOT 3 weeks ago without so much as an advisory.

What's with the crank pulleys? It must be the diesel engine with with vibration and big torque that does them. 4cyl diesel aint a smooth engine in the scheme of things.

It does the DMF as well..........sooner rather than later.

fortunately we don't have DMF's :)

my crank pulley is up for replacement and a genuine citroen part is only a few pounds more than the ECP one (probably about the same if you ask for a discount) so i'll certainly be using Citroen's finest

I get trade prices at Euro Car Parts so the crank pulley came down to around £40.

The Peugeot genuine one we fitted to a 306 a few months later was around £90.

Not going to bother with the cheaper ones ever again.

Lexi - there's a rubber part in the crank pulley and as it gets older the rubber perishes and the pulleys begin to knock horribly. If I can find a solid one I'd use that next time round.
