  • Citroen Berlingo / Peugeot Partner - Future-proof road tax uk 26 Sep 2020 (Forum)
    In the near future Im looking at upgrading my current seat ibiza (1.2 petrol) for a peugeot partner or citroen berlingo to use as a daily driver, occasional campervan and all round workhorse My budget is fairly tight at a max of around £8k Ideal specs are < 50k miles, newer than 2010 For around 6-8k Ive found a lot of  2011 - 2014 - 1.6 HDI diesel models with road tax around £145 Compared to this around 8-10k I can get 2016 - 2019 blueHDI models with £30 and lower road tax My question is: How likely is it that that standard HDI models will increase from £145 a yr tax (given the imminent rise of EV cars, restrictions on diesel / petrol etc).
  • How can I check if the clutch is failing on my car? 19 Feb 2020 (Ask HJ)

  • Citroen cx - Paint and carburettor 10 Dec 2019 (Forum)
    Hi all I have two points of interest at the moment with my “project” also known as my labour of love! Bit of background- working on restoring my old Citroen cx. Work in progress and cash has gotten tight. So the bodywork is dire. Needs a complete respray and some coaschworks. Currently saving to do this but it’ll be several thousand. So how do I protect the metal in the meantime (someone has already rubbed it down and there is some surface rust) I was thinking the cost effective way is to give it a lick of Matt black until it gets the paint job it deserves?

  • Citroen C Crosser 2.2HDi - Diesel additives? which one and how often 3 May 2015 (Forum)
    Hi, My Citroen spluttered to a halt on the Mortoway last week, lost all power and ECU warning light.  I limped the car along to nearby family member and called Green Flag.  During that journey, the power seemed to recover but the ECU warning stayed on;  Green Flag checked the codes which seemed to indicate a fuel leak, but then went on to check the car very very thoroughly.

  • citroen c5 - anti theft wheel nuts damaged 6 Jul 2012 (Forum)
    Obviously remove all the other anti theft bolts first in case the adaptor is useless after this. Replace all with proper citroen blots afterwards; never tighten a bolt on a hub unless you have applied copper grease first.  Have fun PG
