Greetings from Vratsa, Bulgaria.

Post by dhv »

Hallo!
I was looking for manual to fix the well known problem with the display matrix. I came up to this forum, so, greetings from beautifull Vratsa town. I own these two fantastic cars:

Will be happy to drive them forever, if possible!

Beautiful car, beautiful photos.
Forever is a long time. The red one: I bought this same year model new in that year (95) and drove it for 9 years.
How long have you had these beauties?
Have you found the info you were looking for concerning the display faults?

Lovely XMs both of them, although have to say the silver S1 is my favourite :)
Thanks for sharing :)

I bought them second hand. The red one is mine from 4 years, The gray I bought last year. They do little mileage (I have 2 other Citroens, BX and Xantia), so I hope to keep them in good order for long.

Welcome to the forum.

They are a lovely pair of cars. Is the BX and Xantia as nice?

Yes, and yes. The BX needs new paint and some mechanical repairs. The Xantia is in near pristine condition. But it's very base model, with small engine and almost zero equipment.

A BX Pallas!

Excellent, I like the seats, the early Xantia VSX that I have has the same seat material.

Wow that Xantia looks fresh! White Xantias look cool. I love the seats. My Dad's first Xantia in 1993 had the same seats as this. A 1.6 as well! Not many of those about. At least that engine is easy to work on.

That BX Pallas would be the same spec as our TZD.

Nearly Will, although I must point out that being Triton Green, 16v'esque rear spoiler and side vents and that interior it'd be the same as our BX Hurricane edition that was mainly availible with the 1.7 Turbo Diesel engine or the much rarer GTi Hurricane with the 1.9 Petrol Lump.

Nice cars. 8-)
