broken wheel wires
I noticed to broken electrical looking wires that go to my drivers side front wheel. Now the only thing i have noticed not working it my speedo - surely these dont control that?

most probably the brake pad wear indicator wires ,they appear to have an affinity with the inside of the front wheel.

Not if they're correctly routed. The outside pad wire has a hook at the bottom to hold it away from the wheel, and I also passed both wires through the bleed nipple cap, using it as a cable tie.
When I did the pads on mine recently I commented that the Xantia was one of the few cars I've seen that actually has proper routing and support for the pad wear wires - so many cars just let them hang out in the breeze just asking for them to drag on the disc or catch on something...
