I've seen a few Xantia's with rust in this area, why should that be a weak spot on the bodywork I wonder?

If memory serves, there's a square hole up in the wheel arch which lets in mud/water/salt

Thank you for all the replies - have printed this off and will take it with me when I get the car.

One thing is for sure - I won't be doing this to it

Not sure what they were trying to achieve - but they certainly seem like tough cars.

Hi Dave,
Initially for auction on Ebay - the reserve was not met so I contacted the dealer in Nottinghamshire. It was also posted on autotrader.

I have been wondering if - based on the comments of it riding almost so comfortably as a *** - whether all four corner spheres are flat!
