Not had any joy at the scrappy for the breather pipes although some luck with the drivers seat lower cover,a complete new centre air vent section,4 door lock buttons and a Xantia owners handbook
Apart from a centre console window switch and the oil pipes etc ive now got everything inc pump o rings

Right i have updated the original thread with some pics in the for sale section but still need a question answered
I can get the central locking to work on the key,not had chance to sort the remote out yet but i can only get the c/l to lock the car once,not double lock like my MK1 and MK2.If i turn the key in the lock and hold it in the "lock" position it locks but doesnt deadlock afterwards.Is this feature an addition to later MK1 Xantias or do they all have the double lock feature
Any advice greatly appreciated
On a lighter note the car does have abs as demonstrated by its abs block and the light on the dash which works correctly
Cheers

Its a feature of ALL...except the very base models with manual front windows..
My L reg 1994 SX TD has double locking... On Mk.1 fobs you press the first button to lock, then the second button to deadlock...
As you say, hold the key in the LOCK position in the lock to double lock.. there could be a faulty switch in the door lock, have you tried the passenger side, it should operate the same..

Hi Paul
Cant try the drivers side as the lock is inop (work in progress)
passenger side only locks,not double lock.Not had chance yet to sort out key fob but guess that maybe a sticking drivers side lock will prevent the dead locking from passenger side
Everything else ordered from main stealers,aiming to get car ready to sell within next 10-14 days.Any joy with the few odds and ends in your vast spares shed

Just a quickish update on my progress.
Remote locking has now been restored along with the replacemant centre vent section and the window switch problem has now been solved(Paul PM sent)
The leaking HP pump and both cooler pipes have been replaced along with the regulator but i have now encountered a problem im unsure of how to fix
I have the steering column in pieces at present and i have found what i believe to be a direct feed to the interior blower from the ignition switch.As soon as the ignition is turned on(engine off) the blower is on although it seems to be very low and the slider works in all positions but will not actually turn off completely.The HRW and mirrors work but as this car has no A/C im unsure as to how the interior blower should work,is it the same as the A/C variety and am i looking at doing the proper relay mod
Have not yet sorted the deadlocking,still wont work even with the remote,does it only operate from the front locks and if so would a sticking lock / motor totally kill it

Early manual blowers DO work as soon as the ignition is switched on...
It does NOT need to have the engine running....
As for speed... the Blower Resiter Pack could be faulty...
This is located in the blower ducting, remove the trim under the dash, and you'll see a multi plug with 5 wires... this is the resister pack, remove the plug, and it twists to come out... it can be tight..

Right apart from a damm good clean i think the car is just about ready to go
Oh and the blower is still on low,cant turn it off but then i had forgotten about that until now
Are the resistor packs the same regardless of the A/C or not.Its just that i have a known good blower from an A/C Xantia and wondered if i could just swap the resistor packs over

No, sadly not Colin They are totally and utterly different. The A/C regulator is an electronic job and the non-A/C is literally a stack of wirewound resistors.admiral51 wrote: Are the resistor packs the same regardless of the A/C or not.Its just that i have a known good blower from an A/C Xantia and wondered if i could just swap the resistor packs over
I'd not worry about the blower always being on slow. There's no airflow at all without it and in an A/C car the blower is running all the time, albeit slowly.
As paul says, the normal failure mode for the resistor pack is to stop the blower totally at any speed as the common failing is the thermal fuse in the middle of the resistor stack getting tired and taking an early bath. Like Paul, I suspect a fundamental wiring fault rather than the resistor pack.
Still, hardly a showstopper. I can't imagine any prospective purchaser saying "Well, you know I'd have it in an instant but for that blower problem..."
In fact, I'll wager they won't even notice it
