No, it's too good at making bio.  It's just very bad at pump washing.

I had a Xantia 1.9D for 9yrs from new, not the fastest but feck was it reliable.

Apart from the normal, tyres  and wiper blades, the only thing I had to replace was a temperature sender unit.

A bit like like me 'casso, in 12 yrs it's cost me 1 x  suspension spring, 1 x wheel bearing and a rear exhaust box as far as I can remember.

cheers dudes

its been sat outside for a week, im reluctant to do anything to it before mot, was going to clean it and get new secondhand parts from scrappy, but don't want to spend dollar if it fails miserably, guess it could be tempting fate so to speak... I guess im trying to keep it at arms length and grow no attachment, bit like woman these days :)
