  • Citroen C5 (2001 - 2008) - rear suspension 1 May 2002 (Forum)
    Mine has had the kit fitted by the factory but still makes a lot of noise at low speed (25-40)..and the car sometimes jumps sideways which is alarming but seems harmless....I have approached the dealer who two weeks ago was waiting for news from Citroen and just said they were aware of the problem...but apart from lying on the ground and confirming the prescence of the "kit" has not actually test driven it......somewhere else on this site there is mention of a number of recalls on C5s but I haven't had a single one.....is this other people's experience??
  • A laugh, a song, and a Citroen BX 8 Jan 2002 (Forum)
    Just to prove the power of suggestion, I bought a 1990 Citroen BX TZS automatic estate on Friday. 120k miles, full main dealer history to 100k (probably nothing since then) M.O.T. to May, taxed'til April. (300 UKP yes, I know I was robbed, but...) I do like to give fellow readers a quiet smile as they surf with their cup of tea!
  • Citroen C4 - Citroen C4 - Anti Theft / Engine won't crank 16 Feb 2022 (Forum)
    My partner inherited a bit of an untidy Citroen C4, 1.6 diesel 08. No problems for the first two months, then when my partner was away for the weekend she was under the impression that the battery was flat as it wouldn't start. She tried jump leads, but that didn't work, but a friendly person with some break experience got it started.

  • The Vauxhall vs Citroen Vs Peugeot conundrum 17 Dec 2020 (Forum)
    Of all 3 models, the base specs are near identical (although to confuse matters Peugeot seem to have pulled the base spec Active trim in the UK but there is a handful left in dealer stock). The Vauxhall is the cheapest from a broker, the Citroen £380 more and the Peugeot some £1300 more direct from a dealer (in metallic, no solid colour left) than the Vauxhall. After all that, the question is - why go for the Citroen or Peugeot? Will a Citroen or Peugeot badge hold their value better?
