UpDate:

Boot now dry, it WAS the rear lamps leaking
Arch Liner segment fitted, belt area protected.
Spare Wheel all mounted OK.
Rear screen Tint removed...pig of a job....I have left the "gansta" side tints for now as it highlights the "Flying roof".

I have been cleaning..............

The overall condition of that car never ceases to impress me, 23 years old and 139k miles and it is still really good.

You're going to be twiddling your thumbs soon...

Will have no time, I have my ACTIVA v.6 to recommission (2 years laid up) and some bits to fiddle with on the C3 Pluriel.

I also cleaned this up yesterday....

BINGO !

I can re-polish and repaint the black on these then I I can remove the Xantia ones and fit these.

Well that made a mess, finally tracked it down to the front Safety Valve return line connector. LHM was tracking along pipes & support plate making it look like it was the height corrector....so I will take that as a bonus.

Item is 5280 P5 - hydraulic return tube sleeve Diam 3 NFP
Used on BX, CX, Xan, XM - height correctors and elsewhere

Straight ones can be improvised, but elbows more tricky.
Always assumed these were black 'rubber', but your photo (and the ad) shows originally transparent.
Haven't yet managed to find a modern/generic 3mm ID flexible elbow.

I fitted a "black rubber" one from my shelf stock...............90degree "curved" rather than 90 degree "joint"

Was that curved one a Cit part (number?) or something else, Alasdair?

One window (drivers) is playing up by dropping (under power) at an angle....upon investigation all wires etc are in very good state (I still greased them)...........it is the clip at the top of the windows trailing edge, totally missing but with the slider in its rummer.

I think I an correct that it is part number : 95291417 DOOR WINDOW GUIDE
Anyone know a source for these glass clips ?

And I HATE finding this !! (missing door seal membrane)
