Wanted - Electrovalve for Series 1

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Hi Kit & Tim

All Xantia got the final electrovalves that were fitted in pairs to Hydractive 2 XM's.
Hydractive 2 was fitted to all Mk2 XM's and just the last few months of Mk1 XM production.
Of the earlier Mk1's while these were fitted with the single bulkier EATON electrovalve there were two different types used.
They are not interchangable without altering the pipework as well.
The guide check is to look at the suspension ECU connectors.
Early electrovalves were used for roughly the first year of production with the original type hydractive suspension ECU.
Connectors on the ECU will be white and GREEN with no number coding marked on the ECU.
Later Mk1 XM suspension ECU's have white and BLACK connectors and are marked H2, H2B or H3.

If you know how many turns the coil is and of what guage wire I do have a coil winding machine originally used for relay coils.
