Dead Xantia

[Gregg1100]

Hi,
Apart from a clattering idler wheel on serpentine belt, a duff (or more) heater plug, air in brake system, wet front footwell ( not matrix ), the radiator has decided to let go in a big way. And as tax is out, I have driven the car into my garden and SORNED it. Idler wheel and heater plugs received from GSF last week. More bloody car work .
Still got the auto Punto to fly around in, and if that dies too, a last resort is the bike. Woe is me.

It seems everything has happened at once Greg
The predicted whether reports dont help either
Shame you're not this side of the Severn or I could have given you a hand
Regarding the windscreen, do you think that it maybe the scuttle sealant coming away from the windscreen? Either way it looks like a partial interior strip do dry it out.

Hi Kev,
Thanks for your kind offer.
I have seen water drops on wrong side of door sill--so probably someone has had the door card off and not resealed the plastic membrane. My sons n/s footwell was wet too, and not resealed either.
I won't go the scrappy way with a radiator--will get a new one from GSF, or whoever is cheaper . As it is off the road, I will try and get some jobs done on it asap.

Think of it as a project Greg

I have a V6 like that. Lots of odd little jobs needing doing on it plus of course, one very major one

Good luck with the "project" Greg.

I think CJ is right with that description project is the right word.

I also project, that I will be doing more work on my "project" when the current lovely weather allows!
