What's all that about being a pikey student then?
It's almost a carbon copy of the one my father's currently using (brakes permitting),
though your new one is sitting on steelies not starfish wobblies? What was
Citroen up to I wonder. Yours has a towbar too - hasn't spent it's past life towing
a caravan has it - just thinking about the autobox...
hey, wait on a mo, thought you didn't really get on with autoboxes - bit like me
in being irked by the stepped speed governed changes.

Being a late car will this have the adaptive HP20 box, instead of the HP18?

NOT on the DERV Will, it was ONLY on the V6 24v PSA unit, as per Xantia
...
The other tell tail for auto adaptive is the Sport and Winter buttons are ahead of the Hydractive switch, of which Roberts does not have...
Roberts, nice spec, cruise AND Air Con...! All working??

If the autobox was a HP20 I wouldn't have given the car to my father to use
- the HP18 drove me mad!
No AC on the one here though the sunroof ACTUALLY works - woohoo.
Never seen the cruise on the car work mind; surely the only real benefit
of an automatic?
