Re: Killed my new 1.9TD Xantia!!!!
Bugger! Just thought! There's at least £50 of diesel in the tank! What's the best way of getting it out? Is there an anti syphon trap?
Any ideas?

or take it out the return line under the bonnet, if you have a little pump. or use the priming bulb if you've got a bored child....

Steer clear of 2.3 Turbo Saab. It'll cost you more than the car to get timing chain replaced.
2.0 Turbo is more than adequate in either 900 or 9000 guise. I have 900 T16S myself. Rather quick.
As someone above said, stick with PSA if you want cheap motoring. You'll not find another resource like FCF to keep you car on the road for peanuts.

Re: Killed my new 1.9TD Xantia!!!!
if you've got access to a compressor you could always pressurise the return line from the tank under the bonnet and collect the diesel from the supply line....
would be fun

Re: Killed my new 1.9TD Xantia!!!!
Jack up the rear of the car to gain height then use a clear hose and suck it out to allow it to syphon or use a longer length of garden hose which allows you to have a loop to avoid a mouthful, simples.Stepto1 wrote:the car is now set low.

Re: Killed my new 1.9TD Xantia!!!!
What's different besides the rear 'leccy windows? Some LX's have AC/climate as far as I understand, what else is different? I'm sure someone could get you a pair of rear window motors easily enough!!citroenxm wrote:pah... im being fussy now.. has to be Sx... not this poverty lx rubbish...
Re: Killed my new 1.9TD Xantia!!!!
The S2 HDI LX I have now is BETTER speced then the 2 S1 SXs I've had.
Except for electric rear windows (that didn't work in one if them) and the rear window blind (which I miss).

It does not take long to empty tank with the little bulb---I have done it, when I put £30 quids worth of petrol in car by mistake. Just got it home, lol- then collecting jerry cans from neighbours.

Re: Killed my new 1.9TD Xantia!!!!
I didn't bother in the end. The fuel left in the 1.9TD was about 30% WVO.
