Ah well, only 10 months since last update. Today I was thinking of alternative uses for a trolley jack:
SWMBO started an argument between the door and the towbar on the Xantia

Not too bad now!
Xantia now just past 111,111 and I have recently changed the cambelt etc, and it's going much better now. New alternator was fitted that quietened it down. Still need to do the rear brakes before the MOT, and try and sort the electrical gremlin that is causing some weirdness with the rear wiper. Boot liner is leaking again too

Otherwise it just keeps going!
Picasso now over 75k. Going OK, but NSF wheel bearing has gone again - going to get a a decent bearing fitted next time!
Other Citroen activity involved taking the junk off the Visa and pushing it out of the garage to get the Xantia (part) in to do the cambelt, and changing the clutch on my mate's C5 2.0 HDi 16V - hope the clutch on the Xantia keeps going, not fancying another one just yet.....
