Xantia Activa £1 starting price

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.

I have cars now to make a V6 Activa but don't fancy converting one either way to make a combo.
The V6 unit in the Activa bodyshell seems the easier way to go. Or just keep two different cars!! :lol:

I'm guessing a green s2 Exclusive 2.0i 16v s2 estate with AC/roof/leather
or a green s2 Exclusive 1.9TD saloon with AC/roof/wood/leather
would be right up your street then? 8-)

Paul,

Pull the key pad put... Enter code, start engine, pull plug put of key pad, hey presto.

Unless there are other reasons after doing this that make you uneasy?

Paul.

You know you could just disconnect the keypad after entering the correct code and throw it away for ever.
Put that handy little mobile phone tray in it's place instead!

What happens if the battery goes flat? would it not want a code put back in

Hi Norman,

The code is stored in the ECU permanently until a keypad is installed in the car again, then you have to re-enter the code.

I did this to my Xantia a couple of years ago now and have had no problem with it ever since. Battery out at various time.
