  The options are: 1. Renault Grand Scenic 1.5 turbo diesel, 61 plate, 10,000 miles, around £11,500 - low running costs, still in warrranty, but concerns about reputation and reliability. A bonus is the back seats can be used, albeit tightly, by an adult. 2. Ford S-Max Titanium 2.0 turbo diesel, 09 plate, 100,000 miles, around £9,000 - slightly more expensive to run but not to bad, no warranty but ful service history as ex-lease.

• Citroen Xantia 2.0 HDi - How do I solve Peugeot/Citroen P0220/P0221 codes? 20 Jun 2012 (Forum)
  There is talk of a wiring loom trick but my Xantia doesn't match what others have talked about (i.e. Two MAF wires joining to one) and I'm running out of ideas to fix this problem! I'm almost 100% certain it is not the sensor. I get a management light on when driving, there is no loss of performance or poor running. All the fault code says is "Accelerator Position Sensor Circuit Improbable" Any help would be appreciated.
