1996 Citroen Xantia Dimension from UK and Ireland - Comments

"A reasonably roomy economical cheap car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The rear suspension height adjuster collapsed at 99,000 miles.

The clutch pedal connector snapped at 100,000 miles - without warning!

The climate control - although checked - takes that long to come on, the windows have to be demisted by opening them.

General comments?

I have changed the seats as when Citroen put climate control in, they left out the height adjustable drivers seat, and the split rear seats.

I'm hoping the car is built well as I want it to last longer than the 112,000 mile BX turbo diesel.

The fuel economy is approx.40 mpg which is good as that is with 5 adults and luggage.

The clutch cable connector is a common fault on this model.

I have a 1996 TD Lx and had the same problem.

Luckily if the engines warm you can usually get by to get to a garage providing you don't have to stop.
