Hi guys. Can anyone tell me where the relay for the front electric windows are on a 97 1.9 tdi. They packed up the other day. But I can bring power to them directly from the battery and they will work but there is no power coming to them otherwise. Fuses are ok so I need to check relays now... thanks

It was the master cylinder after all.Well I call it the master cylinder anyway where the pedal hits. It was pissing oil onto the floor under the drivers feet. Changed it for a new one and brakes are perfect now again.. It was not an eay job. Hardly any room to work.. Thanks for reply anyway.

ok. I crossed the starter with a screw driver and she turned over, eventually starting. left her running for bout half an hour. turned her off and surprise surprise she wont start again. What could the problem be? When I turn the key to start her the lights on the dash dim slightly, the battery light goes off completely and I can also hear two relays just above the pedals clicking so there must be something happening..Im keeping the screwdriver in the glove box but its a bit of a pain.

Hey lads. In a bit of trouble here. Went out while ago to go for a spin in my xantia but then realised I had left the keys in the ignition since yesterday when I was last out. Tried starting her but there was absolutely no movement from the starter. Changed the battery for a good one, no joy. Tried jump leads, no joy. Its weird, all the lights on the dash light up as normal but the bloody starter wont turn... Any ideas appreciated.. would the keys being in the ignition for 24 hours have anything or everything to do with it.?

Hi guys, another citroen convert here. new to this forum.. Bought a xantia turbo diesel a few weeks back. Fine car, delighted with it, until the brake pedal went to the floor on me yesterday.. Was only pulling out of the drive at the time in first gear, so managed to stop her with the hand brake before I nosed out onto the main road. Lucky Boy I was! Brakes came back again but happened me again twice as I took her for a spin to see what the hell was up or was I imagining it. Had a look around and noticed fluid on the carpet on the floor behind the brake pedal as if coming from the master cylinder when pedal is pressed. its weird as brakes can go from perfect for ages to non existent and back again.. Can anyone shed any light? Do the brake masters give trouble, Are they easily changed? PS And dont worry,I was trying her out on the road to our farm yard, not down the M1 motorway or anything!
