I have just bought a gunsons fault reader and can not locate the diagnostic socket.
Gunsons book says it is green and near ECU and Haynes manual is crap,any ideas?

The only code reader that you can buy in the aftermarket that works on a Xantia is the Sykes Pickavant CR1, which was about £300 GBP. You also had to buy a Xantia wiring harness adaptor to plug into it which was an extra £70.00!!.
In answer to Alans' comments, the Gunsons code reader is a budget means of "reading" any fault codes generated by the ECU, it is part of the service schedule on any Citroen after about 1995 to read the fault codes, and clear them if necesary.In answer to the comment abou the timing belt tensioner device, there is an aftermarket version available, when my brain clears I will try and rememeber who makes it and how much it costs!!!
