Anyone local to me who is confident with changing all 6 spheres on a Xantia? My accumulator is ticking every 5 secs so needs doing and thought I might as well do them all. Would like someone to give me a hand/show me how to do it for future reference. If your not local then let me know if you could help as I may be willing to travel further. Just depends on where you are.
Cheers
Anyone local? Or maybe not....

Hmm, I can feel that road trip tingle coming on
Course the easiest plan for Jim and me would be to get Toby to Finmere and do it on the ramps there (makes the back ones a doddle!), but I could do with taking Cassy for a long drive to check how well she's running on veg.
Toby when are you thinking of doing the spheres?
Is there any other work you might need doing like brake pads?
When was the LHM last changed? Some hydroflush might be in order.

Not sure tbh, thinking possibly all filters and fluids. Hydraflush sounds good, not sure when it was done you see, I only got the car couple of months ago. Brake pads not sure, seem all right. Basically just want to give it a good service, going over anything that needs doing.
Sound sensible?

I'll be back in circulation in a couple of weeks and could be the (almost) halfway house (M25 J15). Alternatively the 'Out-laws' live near Poole so I might be able to make a Southern meet. I have the ramps, sphere tool, diagnostic equipment, factory workshop manuals etc etc.
