my current to do list concerns mainly my LX 1999 Xantia, which has seen some neglect in favour of other more intersting machines in the last two years
I rebuilt the engine, added a new clutch and other items in the summer of 08.. and have had many trouble free miles running on WVO since then.. I now want to lend the car to a girl

so I have decided to do the small jobs that are needed.
The list is
Fix OSR door card back on after diagnosing the central locking problem was nothing to do with that but was a break in the wire a the pillar. (Quite how i can drive around manually unlocking that door and leaving the car looking a mess for so long is beyond belief

)
renew NS handbrake cable..
renew front pads
free up the headlight adjusters / or make sure they work ok..
indentify why the aux belt is 'thrumming' on it's run between AC and crank
change aux belt tensioner
Work out what is wrong with the main earth cable as the car is impossible to start without a second retrofit earth cable on

even with that it turns very slowly!
Work out whats happened to the ABS system and why the light goes on/off with the charge light
change front tyre
fix screen washer jets or replace them
check towbar wiring
Airbag light usual..
Injector cleaner
check the operation of the cooling fans, they were doing something odd I seem to remember, end of last year,,, probably not working
bonnet, wing, possibly bumper needed
A very good clean
then at some point get an MOT.. my usual tester has gone missing.. so the car may get slightly different scrutiny than usual
the 406, main job is to fit LPG, and investigate the usual PS leak
