You'll be hard pressed to find a Xantia that ISN't hydractive. And yes, it would be pretty easy to retrofit, although I can't see there being many benefits ona BX TBH.

Activa on the other hand, oh yes, but as Vanster said, bloody difficult to retrofit, and would require some epic fabrication.

Worth doing though IMHO.

That there V6 of which you speak will be hydractive.

All V6 Xantias are hydractive in RHD are they not, then LHD is mostly hydractive and a little Activa? Which in its self is a probiotic yoghurt no?

I'd be up for going down the hydractive route with Jazz.
Maybe worth the effort, but from my experience with the Xanty..........no!

Way to tell a hydractive Jay? Has it got a dash button with 'springy' icon on it? If so, then it's hydractive!
