My 1.8 Xantia keeps stalling when I pull up anywhere, the tickover needs speeding up, but I cannot see any way of doing it. Is there something more seriously wrong with it ?

I too have a citroen Xantia, the same thing happened to me yesterday. I phoned the RAC, he told me that the speed controler had to be replaced, he removed it and it was worn down.
You are not alone with this problem.
