Hi all

I have just acquired a 1995 Xantia 2.0 auto as a project.

Seems reasonably OK 50,000 miles been off road for a year.

Got it trailered home now working through everything slowly.

it has what I presume to be the original strut tops and auto box heat exchanger, probably even has its original cambelt

So I have ordered some new tops from the Acitiva club in France and a new ZF heat exchanger from some online company in EU land.

Hopefully will get the car back on the road this summer.

Sure I will come across some unpleasant surprises along the way so will probably be asking plenty of questions here

Best wishes

Gildas

Just spotted this thread Gildas and noticed where you're based.
I'm down that way at times, visiting someone.
Haven't see an Xantia around there yet unfortunately!
If you see a Metallic Blue C5 X7 Tourer or a Blue C5 Mk1 Estate knocking around there - it's probably me :)
