^Nar, we get weather bombs from Russia.....March 2018.

Was all set for work and bang my sciatica gave me a big warning, it could be the cold getting into my right side. Anyway I took the warning and rang in sick.

Lashing winds with isolated gusts up to 80 mph will accompany a powerful winter storm poised to barrel across the Bay Area Friday night.

On Friday afternoon, the National Weather Service upgraded a high wind watch to a more severe warning in effect 3 p.m. Friday to 10 a.m. Saturday for the entire region.

"Trees and power lines will go down with near-certainty," says Ryan Walbrun, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service Bay Area. "Stuff will be flying around the city. Scaffolding will be coming off buildings. Trees falling on cars and houses and everything."

Winds were from the East though all day, which disoriented our usual tacking and maneuvers in the tide's strong current.

/\Alas! Too late; I spent 8 hours on the mean wet streets of downtown financial district 'Frisco' in full gear escorting my tech from bank to bank; topped off by a grueling two hour commute in the heavy rain back to the home and dinner...and the night is
still young

I really never want to change a heat exchanger on a Xantia V6 with air conditioning again. What a !"§$%/(!! construction

Not too complicated if you worked on subs, but !"§$%&/(!!

Looks time consuming task.

Citroens are not known to be easiest DIY cars.

Im soon about to change the timing belt of my Xantia. Its only <20 000 driven with that belt but its also about 8 years old. Haynes owner manual recommends changing the belt at 90 000 km/8 years. The original belt was changed at 90 000/14 years. So Idon't think the existing belt is not neccesarily about to break any time soon, but better not take any risks considering the catastrophal damage to the engine if the belt breaks.

Just back home after my four-monthly check up for my left eye and all the tests proved to be positive and improving.

^^ Yes lol, i am happy that it's over. Though now it loses a bit of coolant, due to a new(!) steam bubble seperator that proved to be leaky. Oh the joy.. But it is quite easy to exchange, for a change

Will wait for better weather.. for now i just top it up.

For changing the timing belt, make sure to put the engine in first-piston top dead center and ignition, arrest the cam- and crankshaft and so on.. always renew the tensioner and diverter pulley(ies). And after fitting the new belt, turn the engine at least two times in running direction, then again check the positions.. sometimes it is then one cleat (right expression?) advanced or retarded, leading to less performance. Well i guess you know all that..

I found the Haynes manual to be utterly useless.. the heater exchange is not described properly, and the V6 version is not even mentioned.

Good luck
