Hi and good morning charentejohn - not sure if I've replied in the correct place! Thanks for replying and for the links etc. - will look at soon. I have put out loads of enquiries to parts suppliers etc., and am currently communicating with Citroen UK to ask them to interact with European Citroen dealers/outlets etc. as they must have databases that would identify where stock is? After all the Xantia was in production from 1993-2001 and there must have been a good many sold in that time! If I can't get the part, I have located someone who refurbs. Citroen regulators, so that would get me out of trouble! I'll see how far I get (my car's currently got a full MOT, and the weep is only slight at the moment) and then perhaps ask a friend of mine who lives in France (and speaks the language - tres bon), to see if he can assist in the quest! The idea of using the translator on the web is good - thanks. Right, must away, usual tasks and jobs are backing up. Thanks for taking the trouble to reply - hope that I can post more news as and when. Kind regards Ron
