I have a plasma one in Cassy, it looks cool, but is not something that gives you an accurate reading at just a glance, you have to spot the 10PSI marker light, then count the bars from there, and it's only really clear at night, or when overcast, but it does look good :)

Does that not need a more modern OBD port?

AFAIK there is no OBD-II port on any Xantia.

yes i was under the impression they all used their own 16pin socket, ive not seen a xantia thats got the obd2 socket anyway.

you can get a lead to go from the cit 16oin to obd2 serial or whatever it is but the obd2 reader i borrowed could not get anything out of the car.

has anyone ever added a new height to an xantia?

i'm thinking about having "fast height", basically 3cm lower than normal height for motorway cruising, but i'm not sure if it is as simple as holding the lever in a position between lowest and normal??
why?

3cm lower is basically the low position on the basis that your car is at the correct heights already :roll:
