Sinker xantia scrap or keep, bosch fuel pump issues...

[myglaren]

I was led to understand that it was 'Sable' and my V5 confirmed this, although I always though that Sable was black. All my sable brushes were anyway.

Sable, French word for 'sand' isn't it?

[myglaren]

I had forgotten that the brushes were made from the tail bristles, not the shorter body ones, so Sable was correct.

[Stickyfinger]

Steve, you are stoteally correct.

It's easily my favourite Xantia colour

It sets it apart from all the other colours - which is one of the reasons I love my XM.

Thanks, I think both ours might have the later type (they both look the same anyway & White is a '98 model albeit with early front end). Yahoo won't let me access the photos properly to zoom in though but the early ones do look a bit like bottle-bottoms compared to the other photo!

I like that colour as well, possibly not dissimilar to Peugeot's "Silver Bronze" as per my dad's old '88 309.

[Eddie Nuff]

From my sinker.

Oh, Thanks. Both ours look like that perhaps White truly has a full early "nose"... I wonder if the numbers on the glass are different between early/late S1?

The dipped beam area kind of looks like a distorted Renault diamond...

[Eddie Nuff]

Not sure if the numbers are visible but both lenses have the corresponding reg number imprinted on them.
