Forum server settings changed

by xantia_v6 » 07 May 2024, 19:01 » in Forum News, Announcements and Issues

First post

Due to excessive server loading caused by some badly behaved 'bots' (automated content collectors), I have changed the anti-ddos settings on the site to be much more aggressive.

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

There may...

Last post

I have been keeping an eye on the server performance, and the every 5 minutes same addresses would flood the forum with requests for a few seconds before getting blocked again.

In the last hour they seem to have got bored and gone away.

The thin wire that AdriaanDM refers to is just a shielding wire to stop the pulses from the coil pack primary from causing potential interference TO other devices. It really doesn't do a lot.

The most likely place is the door apperture where the wiring loom comes from the A Pillar through to the door via a ptotective tube into the driver's door.

Opening and closing the door over the years weakens the wiring at theis point leading to intermittent use and eventually wearing the wire to breaking point. That's the best place to start as...

Convinced that the fault was the thermostat, I removed the new thermostat and tested it in a bucket of boiling water. The valve did not open at first, but after fiddling with the mechanism I managed to get it to work OK, reassembled and now car working. I guess there is a reason why OEM parts are more expensive.

CITROEN XANTIA SPEARS/ REPAIR ebay item number: 4651517020

Speared through the bonnet! Is your gaiter at half mast on your strut? This maybe next!

I know we're going to see a few more of these - not one in a yard of 6-7 cars last weekend had any worth bothering to take off to look at closer...

Have you checked yours? :shock: Had to change...

Ok, I had a look at the Kingas (why do we call it that, by the way?) site and found myself pretty impressed.
However, they make no mention anywhere of Xantia strut tops. Only XM ones.
Also, no clues about pricing, just vague hints that bulk orders are preferred and more cost effective!
If they do all that they suggest they can, I think I'll be...

I bought tyres from Blackcircles, not having heard of this nonsense, the place where they fitted the tyres couldn't balance them.
Quick phone call to Blackcircles, they arranged for Protyres in Portsmouth to balance the wheels at no cost to me.

for my citroen xantia S2 1998 1.9TD estate I bought what appeared to be a pretty good drivers door with great looking hinges after my original door top hinge failed miserably.

I had it sprayed the right colour from silver to dark blue and with some help managed to get it fitted to the car.

the top hinge lasted exactly four months before it...

The hardest part is getting the gap right between the front and rear doors and
a wooden wedge leaves your hands free to do this, if your way worked out for you thats great,

A question that is often asked is how to replace spheres, how to change the LHM, use Hydraflush and bleed brakes. This is a (hopefully) a concise guide to these three related jobs. I post here so that comments may be added and peer reviewed before it is moved to a more appropriate area of the forum.

Pre Requisites

Before starting, ensure you...

Last post

Seals will be ok, if not damaged. Smear them with a little LHM if you take the sphere right off, or just re-tighten the sphere if just slackened.

Hi Everybody,

last resort!!
Today i have changed the blower motor on my car, checked all the fuses and i still have no blower at all.

This seems to have slowly died over the last 2 weeks, first it started working normally but over the last 2 weeks its has slowly died getting gradually slower and slower like it was running of a little battery,...

Last post

This is me back again about the blower which runs at full speed as soon as the ignition is switched on I havent had time to check the module as I am not very confident about it so is there any way that I could put a switch in to switch the fan on and off as I need it if so could someone explain it to me. Thanks
Allan

Making Links more Readable...

First post

Shamelessy lifted from the BX Club forum with many thanks to David Rutherford for originally posting this.

There's one thing that makes a PHPbb forum very difficult to read: Posting links that are very long, and hence making the forum extend it's width wider than your screen. This means that in order to read a posting you have to scroll sideways...

Last post

Most likely like me at first - I wasn't leaving the first = after the [url

anyhow this:
Anglesy Citroen

is
Anglesy Citroen

- the • is there simply to stop it showing as another shorter link like above

[url= –––WEB PAGE URL––– /] YOUR TITLE

any good for you Paul? The dark red text is the fixed tags that remain
constant like quotes....
