uh

wow...

thats an impressive way to save £185!

although, it goes on time spent too. i've had to enact repairs to a return hose on mine and that was a mare of a job, never mind replacing the whole octopus.

nevermind MAKING one!

[CitroJim]

That is most impressive!

[c.morewood]

All sorts of goodies in there Jim.. including a bit on the rear suspension using C5 pipe ends.. lots more to look through and find.

That's incredible Chris.
Would you mind putting that into the "How To" forum so it doesn't get buried.

[c.morewood]

I've pm'd RichardW and put a post in the handy hints and tips Steve.

[myglaren]

Excellent, thanks Chris.
I'm sure it will be of increasing interest and use as the octopussies get older and more infirm.

[c.morewood]

If only I'd known about it last year it would have saved me a lot of heartache considering whether to scrap the car because of the rear cylinders.
I'm really hoping it will keep a lot more Xantae on the road.

Thats the fellow you mr morewood I found the c5 pipes to be the same type of sealent to cylinders.. but as you found chris they were on the xantia only for a short while while they reverted back to flare and original seal setup..
