It could well be a faulty ignition switch, a well known Xantia weakpoint. Try wiggling the wiring at the back of the switch to see if it makes a difference.

I recently lost the fan and rear screen heater, and checked the fuses which seemed fine. Took it to garage expecting a fault in ignition switch as this is the most common cause. However it turned out that the fuse box HAD failed, (just where those two fuses were connected). A new fuse box would have been £90 and taken several days, so they did a "temporary" repair by wiring in those fuses seperately behind the box. It's now all woking fine.
