Do you have a 'dashboard' earth? I thought the loom was earthed through the main earth in the engine bay. How olds the ZX you've got?

Last post

I suspect the earthing on my ZX is deteriorating. Does anyone know where the dashboard earth point is?
Symptom is that the electric windows activate the central locking; the wiring diagram suggests they share an earth. I've lubed the window sliders and various points on the mechanism.

The intercooler was one of the (many) changes on turbo2 models.
In fact the diesel engine itself was modified on many points to ensure durability on the increased torque figure.
I think you can find the differences in the CX manuals you have downloaded.

Did the later cars have an intercooler and more than the 95 horsepower of the mark ones?
Much as I enjoy driving the CX, the power to wait(!) ratio is inadequate. Sure it'll pull the skin off a rice pudding but the pudding will be cold!

Deadlocking is there only to prevent the cabin doors being unlocked by lifting the standard locking button, therefore the boot will not have this facility, no point as there is no keyless method of unlocking it as there is with the cabin doors.

So I need to remove the switch, and to do that I need to push that retaining pin in. How exactly do I do it? I heard you can depress it with a punch, but I haven't been...

Once again there is a Xantia owner on here with loads of electrical gremlins which will inevitably resolve to two simply diagnosed faults.
Trouble is that it will take several attempts to find out what is wrong, owing to the lack of information that seems to go with the Xantia.

Your idea of the EPIC injection pump is just a tad simplistic, sure the ECU decides when injection occurs as far as timing advance goes, and how much fuel is injected with regard to manifold pressure, but the physical adjustments are still made within the pump because this isn't a common rail system.
So initial timing will need to be set when...
