.........ooops i just remembered the other thing i would like to know.
Can you (i) disable the PIN code prior to (re) starting the vehicle. My wife does courier work and finds it an absolute nightmare.

Digging around in my failing memory I seem to remember a facility to disable the code for a set period after turning off the engine.
I think it involved pressing a key within a certain time of turning off the ignition and before opening the drivers door.
You really need that owners handbook, why can't people just keep them where they belong. I can understand them going missing from a BX where storage space inside the car is limited but the Xantia has a cubby hole specially for the manual, and it is pretty useless for anything else. (rant over).

I take that to be the thing under the "<i><b>Oh My God</b></i>" handle - because it certainly can't be classed as a glove box (you'd struggle to get a pair in least ways).

OK, according to the handbook:
Code change:
Ignition on: enter existing code, press C, enter new code, press C. Four flashes of green lamp, with 4 beeps confirms new code.
Setting the code to 0000 'disables' the keypad.
Neutral mode - ignition on, enter code, press D/N button for 2 seconds. Confirmed by 4 beeps. (To get out of netural mode, enter the code again with ignition on).
To defer lock-out for 1 hour, press D/N within 20 seconds of switching ignition off (it seems system stays in this mode, as the book says it will flash the green lamp and beep once within 10s of ignition off). To cancel this mode, press D/N within 10s of igition switch off.

<b>UPDATE:</b> I took the advice of other people from a Mobile phone forum and cleaned up the circuit board of the "plip" with some special alcohol (i used Gin though) and a toothbrush - followed by a slow cook/dryout in the airing cupboard overnight. Plopped a new pair of batteries in this morning and <i>Hey Presto</i> i have a working "plip", had to disconnect the battery to re-set the alarm, all OK now.
