Considering it's been standing for around three years following an immobiliser fault, now mysteriously fixed, and has had absolutely no love lavished on her she's not in too bad nick from the outside.
However mechanically ... both rams leak like sieves (i've got a couple of spares including a brand spanking new one in the shed), there's a radiator leak (new one needed) and now the steering has become an issue so i'm wondering if it's worth the bovva
and i've got an abs light on (trivial).So ... my question to all the steering rack experts out there is a) what can go wrong, it's making an awful noise side to side and b) are all racks the same across the xantia range in case this one has had it?
Oh, nearly forgot, clutch, when depressed is extremely noisy too. Just another one to add to the list
I bought her originally because in Silex Grey with a cream interior she looked ace and the plan was to chav her up with a set of 17" Resolfens (also in the shed, it's a bigggggggg shed
) .... never happened because she locked me out with an immobiliser problem only two months into ownership and then mysteriously came back to life 2 years later. I thought i'd teach her a lesson and ignore her, until now when time has come to put up or shut up!
