300,000 km on the clock!
HI Forum
Just wanted to say congratulations to my Xantia for hitting the big 300 000 (km) !!
Made it to france and back no probs- so many thanks to everyone in the forum this year for your help in making this happen
Not sure what present to buy it ?... a clean is too boring, a paint job too expensive, fluffy dice too corny, a "keep honking i'm relaoding", "if you think this car is dirty, try spending a night with its driver". bumper stickers ...
Cheers
Larry

A true indication that french cars have the longevity of other manufacturers....an often dismissed fact.
The highest mileage UK Xantia i saw was a guy who used to come into GSF Trafford park. He had a circa 1995 LX TD with 450,000 miles on the clock. He made regular trips to somewhere in eastern europe where it was so cold he had to light a fire under the engine to get it started. Once fired up though he said it ran great
The only modifcation he had done to the car was to make some custom extensions to some lower down hoses running them across the back of the engine bay for easier repairs he said
The car looked tatty as you would expect but im sure it was running on its original engine and box
