A little bit late in updating but
Thanks for info Toby on the child locks one of the easiest fixes ive ever had
Well just when i got myself in a position to actually do something myself on the Xantia i get struck down by the dreaded lurgy
Finally managed to crawl out of bed today after spending Friday and Saturday wondering which end of my body was going to Vesuveus next
Still nowhere near my usual self i cant even look at the cans of beer let alone contemplate opening one
One good thing is ive now gone 3 days without a coffin nail so maybe there is a silver lining after all
Not sure on when im going to get round to do the list of jobs but its not that long a list
Have discovered i need to tackle the glow plugs as she is a bit sluggish/knocking/smokey for the first 30secs after starting although she does start first time like a 2.1 should
Have taken a closer look at the aux belt tensioner and i can see the roller is slightly out of line with all the other pulleys so guessing its the spring thats collapsing and pushing it out of line same thing that happened on the 1.9td
So this list is now as follows
Aux belt tensioner/spring and belt a first attempt for me
Oil change along with filter and air filter
4 new glow plugs a first for me
Lhm change and filter clean to be replaced with Hydraflush
Cam belt change and possable fuel pump change aswell
Both cooling fans need to be removed/replaced/inspected along with relays as they are playing up but thats an easy one first job i ever tackled on a Xantia
Front height needs to be lowered but i need the pit for that
Probably replace all spheres for piece of mind
Ah also the clutch is slipping a little so guess thats another job to be done
No wonder the car was cheap
