the garage have told me they have just fitted a re-conditioned gear box to my picasso, however after less than 1000 miles it seems to be failing again. is there a way of easy identification to see if they have done what they said they have done. Read more
What are the symptoms? If the gear box has been replaced, assuming it wasn't a secondhand one, it should be all clean and shiny.
I live in the Alps and drive over very rough, unmade mountain roads. I hit a large stone (I was looking at the spectacular view) and head that horrible grating sound.
The exhaust started to make a loud burbling sound at low speed. I am a woma of 70, living in a studio with no access/skill for DIY repairs so I took it to a local garage (it is a main distributeur for Citroen, not Fiat).

As I was looking for a newer car someone suggested I look on Gumtree, a site I've never visited before.
Most of the ads seemed to be written in very poor english, and/or have "leaving country quick sale needed" or even more suspicious "phone XXX our land line is under some maintenance" or full of other dodgy sounding phrases or descriptions "is an import much spec"... Read more
Gumtree is free to advertise on so you'll often find spam and cons, as people dont need to submit credit card details/ID to post things.
