Have just acquired a 94 2.0 SX Xantia.
There is a rumbling noise coming from the rear near side wheel that gets louder as you pick up speed.
I suspect that this is a shot rear bearing.
If this is the case and I jack the car up should I expect the wheel to wobble slightly.
Also I have already got some quotes from various spares shops. The prices range from £50-£100 so if you have a similar problem shop around!

Must admit that I am a bit alarmed by the extent of diferent problems raised in this forum. Might explain the depreciation.

Ooh, I don't know about that. Bigger Citroens just appeal to the sort of people who like knowing about the technical aspects of their cars. My N-reg Xantia's had a few of the usual suspension probs over the years, but on balance it's been more reliable than practically any other car I've ever had, so the running costs are pretty reasonable.
If you want to see some real depreciation, check out the secondhand prices for two year old Mondeos - most of which have totally ignorant owners!
