My brothers 1997 1.9 Xantia TD has suffered a break up of the pre-combustion chamber which has bent valve and damaged the piston.
We need a complete head and a piston or a low mileage engine.
Also can anyone tell me the compatability or differences between the engines I beleive the 1997 TD should be XUD(BTF is this correct and will an earlier head be ok.
Any help greatly appreciated as he is putting miles on my beloved Bx 16v in the meantime.
Cheers

Luke,
I think all the heads are the same, although the fittings around the flywheel end of the cam shaft can differ depending on where it came from. I reckon your best bet is to go looking for an engine from the breakers - there are hundreds of thousands of these engines about. Alternatively, just buy another car - Xantia's are SOOOOOOOOOOO cheap now, it's hardly worth getting your hands dirty.....!
