No worries there. It's dead easy on a V6

Possibly easier than on a lesser Xantia.

lol lesser xantia

i'm also thinking of doing the rears, are pads same on s1 and s2. apparently discs are 224x9mm on saloons, that the same for all xants including 'lessers'

Sorry, it was late, bad choice of term. My bad

Shall we say, umm, smaller engined Xantias?

Yes, rear pads are exactly the same in all hatches. Only the estates have bigger ones.

Whilst there take the opportunity to remove the calipers, clean them up, clean their mating faces to the trailing arm and reassemble with lots of copper grease on the faces to avoid dissimilar metal corrosion and all the grief that brings.
