Hi, just ordered Infinity Referecnce 6502ix - 16.5cm 180W 2-way car speakers for the front and Kenwood KFC-S1394 3-Way 160W 13cm Speakers for the rear all for £79 new, I'm using a Kenwood (40x4) cd player 2003/4. Someone said you have to watch out for water from the door that could damage the speakers, water always comes down through the door thats why it has drain holes so what I can't understand is how would it affect the speakers if car manufacturers have placed them there in the first place. Also everytime i start the ignition the cd players makes it insert and eject cd whirring noise with or without the face attached. The lead i have used is an original kenwood lead and xantia blocks fit to into it properly.

Hi, Why do the xantias only come with lap belts and not ful 3 point belt like the front seats? I looked online and the estates have the full 3x3 point belts, but then noticed that the mark 1 xantias had retractable lap belts which are a lot neater, why do the mark 2's have the manually tightening lap belts and is there a way of fitting a 3 point belt in the middle? Thanks

Hi, Does anyone know if Brian Primmer is still selling citroen parts and how to get in contact with him? I am after the chrome inserts for the rear/front bumper and side doors. Thanks.

Hi, since buying the car 2 wks ago I thought it was normal for the car to crank sluggishly but when the car went to the local citroen mechanic he explained that it could be a worn starter, under powered battery or both ( battery is a 72Amp 640A) which is the recommended type. I searched forums and found that the fault is most probably worn/damaged cabling from altenator/starter to battery, I'm told that the positive cable gets very hot after starting and damages the cabling/wire. I had my xantia running during the day but both cables - + were cold to the touch, what type of battery cabling would I need how thick what rating and so on from battery to started via altenator and so on. Thanks

Hi, Just had a full service and inspection of recently bought xantia hdi 110, faults as follows: Front and Rear discs+pads Headlights need adjusting(Kwikfit) Battery a bit low when lights and heater on battery drops lower than it should advised to get 096 or 075 battery. Rear height corrector slight leak advised to source seal kit. Front and Rear spheres. All help appreciated, not sure what brand of pads or discs to go for? Battery wise should I go for the battery type advised and not worry about brand? Rear height corrector I have seen on GSF parts for around £165, but mechanic did say that citroen used to supply the seal kit for around £60 few years back. Anyone know if they are still available anywhere? Front and Rear spheres are on way out possibly Anti sink sphere, where's the best place to source as good as the original citroen ones and what price should I be paying? I paid £120 for labour and supplied all the parts, citroen mechanic did full service, Flush LHM clean filters, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, gearbox oil, flush and refill coolant red antifreeze, fit new handbrake cables check complete running of car and grease all points . Thanks

Hi, new owner of xantia hdi 110, need to change the bulbs as they are not that bright and seem to focus like blinkers are on and aim poorly. How do I take the headlights out and how do I adjust the dipped beam and high beam angle and how do I know if its correct.. Thanks in advance

Hi all, First time owning a diesel xantia, bought 2 days ago need advice on grade of oil/brand to go for and anyone tried Valvoline oil, I'm having the lhm replaced filters cleaned, might use FORTE fuel unless its not advised. Bump stops on rear have disappeared don't know if aftermarket polyurethane fancy ones are any better than original? Last MOT advisories were: Both handbrake cables outer casings cracked and Rear suspension levelling valve appears damp? All help appreciated and hopefully this will be only diesel for a long while.. Thanks in advance.
