My wife's car has developed the same problem. I have replaced the spark plugs and the coil pack. Seem's like only running on 2 or 3 cylinders or fuel starvation? Runs fine from cold. Can be difficult to start when warm. Help please! Andy

Thanks for quick reply. Only happens when changing up to or down to 3rd gear only. Is this still the clutch? How easy to change, cheap at garage on this model? Do not have any clutch slipping Thanks

Hi, is my gearbox on it's last legs? I have a 1998 Xantia 1.9td Series2 with 110k miles. All gears select fine apart from 2nd-3rd (ok when change is very slow) get a crunch noise and the same when changing down from 4th-3rd. All other gears are fine. Clutch is not slipping and have checked oil level in gearbox. Is my gearbox on it's way out, how long can it last like this and how easy is it to change or how expensive? Suggestions please as this is the only problem on this car. Otherwise drives great. Thanks Andy

Hi, Did you get this fixed with a new connector and did it make any difference to the running. The hose on my wife's car has snapped in the same place. Is this a design fault? Can anyone help? Thanks Andy
