Good luck Mark! Best bit of advice I can give any prospective Xantia owner is to not bother with an Activa! A nice series 1 vsx 1.9 TD is hard to beat!

Reserve judgement until it breaks your heart if you dare

Mine hasn't (yet) but by gosh it's been a close-run thing on occasions...robert_e_smart wrote:Reserve judgement until it breaks your heart if you dare
By way of explanation, an Activa is really an XM cunningly disguised as a Xantia... They behave in very similar ways and have some very similar traits...

I have yet to sample the delights of an Activa. Hopefully Jims kind offer will remedy that. But my two ideal Xantia models...V6 for the noise 
and a sinker VSX ideally.
Robert....sush. I know!!!

Activas are more heart ache than XMs Jim! Don't be tarnishing the xms exceptional reputation by saying its a xantia activa in disguise
Sinker Xantias are the way forward though. I would love a nice 1.9 D base car like our first Xantia in 1993.

very good Robert.That gold 1.9 on autotrader or eBay late last year was extremely tempting.
