xantia 3ltr v6

[michaelhyatt]

Thanks for all the posts - I think that dave from the Midlands might be able and willing to take it away - tho it's a long trip for him as I am in South Essex.
However if he does not, to answer some of the questions I had a Mobile Electrician round who presumably used the Lexia to diagnose wiring failure.
The car has done 108k - new starter and bl refurbished hydraulic pump also a new spare! Lucky me! I would really have wanted to get it brought back into service but after 3 visits to the garage and the mobile man I feel that it needs an enthusiast!
Thanks again,

Michael, where are you please as I'll be the first one to stick my hand up and say I'll have it at that price

Hi KP,
Dave has decided not to go ahead so the ball is in your court. I live in Burnham on Crouch. As far as I know the car will start Ok and very possibly keep going? Breakdown cover would be wise! It's taxed until MAY and MOT til April. I suppose the tax is worth about £150, so you can buy that if you wish. I must say its going to be a bit of a wrench, maybe I will buy it back if you can get it going properly!

Michael, it really is a shame you're not going to continue to try and resolve the issues it has.

Parting with a V6 is a terrible wrench I know and doing all you can to hang onto it will be worth it in the end.

Yep, even though I now have the C5, I still kinda wish I'd kept the Xantia....

Hi Michael, I'm due to go to Southend shortly so might be able to call in with my Lexia, plug it in & see what's what. If the problems are too complex, I might be interested in buying the car as I'm not a huge distance away in East Sussex. Dont be swayed by what mechanics say about these cars, most are too lazy to diagnose & fix problems on them.

Can you PM me your contact details & I'll be in touch shortly?

I am not getting on very well with the internet! My phone xxxx

ADMIN: Michael, I have edited your phone number and PM'd it to Handyman. Never a good idea to leave a phone number in a public forum. They can get harvested and used for nefarious purposes. Same goes for email addresses...

thanks Jim

[handyman]

JIm, I hope you weren't referring to me when you mentioned nefarious means! Would I do that?

Michael, I'll give you a call over the weekend, likely Sunday, as I'm out with SWMBO tomorrow, hawking chocolates & singing Sea Shanties in the evening.
