    There has to be a better T-Sport/RS on DD?
    That's a Halfords special!

    Feck knows. They were happy enough in my yard. That's not the first time they stayed in my yard. Neighbours dogs were barking all night. Barely got any sleep. In the middle of the night looked out and all horses were gone. I thin neighbour knew who's horses those were so he got it sorted.
    In the morning all front lawn was in horse shiet. Had a busy day with shovel...

    Isn't it free to get a new licence when there's a change of details?

    This form allows you to apply for a driving licence if you:
    • Have passed a driving test within the last two years
    • Hold a driving licence that is due to expire within three months and you want to renew it
    • Held a driving licence that expired less than 10 years ago and you want to renew it
    • Are exchanging a driving licence issued by another EU Member State or any other country
    with which Ireland has an exchange arrangement
    • Are replacing a lost/stolen or damaged licence
    • Are changing personal details on your current licence

    Tastes differ, twud be a boring world if everyone had the same tastes.... :)

    also I prefer the T-sport. I don't like the Vitz front badge.

    EDIT: On that blue vitz, the front number plate is a dealers plate and the back isn't, which seems a tad odd.

    Rates

    From 1 January 2013, the cost of driving licences is as follows:

    One-year driving licence costs €25
    Three-year driving licence costs €35
    Ten-year driving licence costs €55*

    *Five-year bus and/or truck driving licence from 19 January 2013.

    Motorists over the age of 70 can get their driving licence renewed for free.

    Exchanging a driving licence to show a new name or address or add a new category is €35 from 12 January 2013.

    so to change address will be €35 by the looks of it

    Took a spin down to Dublin tonight for the first time in a long time. Was going to Solas on Wexford St., was worried about getting parked, especially on a Sat night.

    Cruised all the way through the city centre, got through every single light on green from the port tunnel and parked right outside the door. :D

    I love driving through Dublin city at night.

    I don't. Every ****wit is out trying to goad you into a drag race (congrats to the Astra OPC who sat on my bumper at the speed limit for half a mile before pulling out and flooring it past the speed van I knew was there.). Not to mention the knobish Taxi drivers Rallying around the place trying to out fare each other.

    Taxis are a pain in the ass alright, they fairly move on empty streets.

    La Citroën Xantia a un turbo de kkk :D:D:D

    Anyone here know how to check what one is fitted to the car? I can't see the feckin plate and I'm not having tools sticking to my hands on a day like this! There were 2 types fitted, K14 and the K03...

    Pred racer, the older XUD engines had bigger turbos than the newer ones. Newer ones were smaller for more driveability etc. What year was yours? It might explain why the power came in very suddenly :cool:

    It's funny, I find its usually VAG drivers that are the ones most up for a "race". That and the 318/320 crew. It usually raises a smile anyway, so it's sometimes worth it for the entertainment of just watching them think they've gotten one over on you somehow.

    Weren't the xantia d turbos fitted with a garret t2? It's been a while since we've had one so its not something I can check.


    Best advice I can offer is ring Citroen tomorrow and grab a part number of them.

    My understanding is that there were at least 4 types of turbo fitted to these cars :eek:
    • KKK K14
    • Garrett T2
    • KKK K03
    • Garrett GT15

    Later cars used the smaller turbo, but I'm trying to find out when they started using them...

    I have the engine out and the first thing I looked at was the wastegate actuator, it didn't have the adjustable rod, has the "beehive" style actuator and a metal pipe going into the compressor housing. Top of the compressor housing has the boost pipe bolted onto it as opposed to jubilee clips and a silicone sleeve. Plus KKK is stamped on the side :)

    The plate is just covered in dust, I'll get it off and see what it is in due time! But it would be a huge help if I could find out when the changeover was :)

    Ours was a 96 and was fitted with a t2 if that helps
