1996 Citroen Xantia SX review from UK and Ireland
"Cheap nice car if you find a good one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At the 100k Service several things were flagged up:
Worn front Pads and disks.
All suspension Spheres worn.
Just after the service the car would not start one day, I called out the AA who could not fix the problem, 5 days later at the main dealer and a number of scratches down the from wings, a burnt out wire in the loom was found and replaced.
General comments?
Not for the tall man if the car has a sunroof fitted!!!
Great ride, shame about the the problems.
Much better spec'd and build than other saloons such as the mondeo.
