Need Xantia octopus supply

Post by JohnCKL »

There seems to be a shortage of octopus hoses for Xantia in Malaysia. Anyone can get a supply from UK or elsewhere and the price for it? We could buy in 10 sets each time.

Does the Xantia have an octopus?? I'd always been led to believe they didn't?

Uhh, maybe my local definition is not the same as in the UK. I mean the mass of rubber hoses from the LHM reservoir to connect to other parts. If there are any supplies in UK, Australia, Japan or elsewhere, there are interested parties to purchase.

Ok, I see what you mean. I always think of an octopus as being, like on the BX, the point where a number of pipes join together to go up to the reservoir as one single pipe, but probably this terminology has been carried over to the slightly different setup used on the Xantia.
Perhaps the best name for the Xantia arrangement would a 'non-octopus' [:D]
Sorry I can't help you locate a supplier though.
