  • East Enders - my favourite motoring prog 1 Oct 2005 (Forum)

  • LJK Obits and more 21 Oct 2005 (Forum)
    his stint as Saruman in Lord of the Rings, was an unashamed elitist. He wrote prose for the thinking motorist, and believed that if the masses could not understand his writing ? just as they had not understood that the Citroën DS was the future of motoring or that assisted steering was inherently
  • Rev an engine before switching off? 12 Dec 2005 (Forum)
    Not sure that I entirely agree with HJ?s comment in the DT today, in response to a letter from DS HJ says that one should not rev an engine before switching off because it will leave the cylinders flooded with fuel. However with regard to a modern fuel injected normally aspirated petrol engine

  • Mondeo or 9-3? 20 Mar 2006 (Forum)
    smart and is very highly specced but is only a saloon (the list is so limited I can't even get the estate) and I gather the engine is quite strong. My mind is split between what's right in my head - Mondeo - and what's right in my heart - Saab. All feedback appreciated. Many thanks, Phil DS
  • Renault Clio 1.5 dCi 68 road test . . . 28 Oct 2006 (Forum)
    enjoy seeing all the 2CVs and Renault 4s. Saw one (yes, only one) Dacia Logan in a car park. In another car park saw a Lancia Thesis. Saw one or two Chrysler C300 taxis. Was quite surprised by how many Pluriels I saw. Most exciting moment was seeing a Citroen DS being driven along the main road
  • Thrashed corsas? 17 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    Had a look on ebay for Vauxhall Corsa SXi's 51-52reg mainly, after looking up & down the list on the site i was horribly suprised to see a lot of them that were for sale were either CAT Ds or damaged repairable etc... is this due to the fact they're marketed for the boy racer generation or just
  • First wheels 7 May 2007 (Forum)
    -assembled cars it had a practical but ugly add-on box boot lid which improved the boot but ruined the car's lines. French Citroëns had this boot for the last couple of years before the company broke major new ground once again with the DS. Eventually, as the winter set in, my own Light Fifteen became
  • Nissan Micra (1992 - 2003) - 00 1.0 Noise from CVT box on overrun 14 Feb 2008 (Forum)

All other g'box functions are ok-no other noises or slipping. The electric clutch brushes have been checked and are ok.It seems to happen when the box
  • Round the corner 14 Mar 2008 (Forum)
    I'm now the only driver without them! Unlike the original swivelling auxiliary lights of the Citroen DS, this system operates on dipped beam, although the BMW X5 has dip/main lighting in the foglights, matching the main headlights. (Well, it would, wouldn't it?!!) Cornering lights shouldn't therefore
  • SEAT Altea (2004 - ) - Altea in Provence (Road Test) 8 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    anyone have any idea what Europcar in France usually give out in this category? (Oh, and I did see a couple of Citroen C6's on the move - and the same number of DS's.)
  • Question about car prices in the 1960s. 17 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    I've just been reading PU's Wolseley thread, and it got me thinking. Back in 1966, my dad was contemplating a new car. I remember looking at a Renault 16. I remembering hoping it would be a Citroen DS. In the end it was an Austin A60. The Peugeot 404 was also on the shortlist. I'm pretty

  • Citroen - DS 17 Dec 2008 (Forum)
    All this discussion about old cars has made me nostalgic for these. Have had several Citroens - in my view the 'quirkier' the better (apart from the XM). But the DS - should I? Could I? Buy one and afford to run it that is.

    distinctive flagship, which revives a name last used on luxury versions of the legendary Sixties? DS.' Now I acknowledge that I'm a Citroen fan and should know such things aren't correct but surely so should someone writing for a motoring mag or his editor come to that. It's not as if the CX Pallas

  • Citroen - New DS 17 Feb 2009 (Forum)
    Half asleep this morning I caught the fag-end of a news report on BBC TV news that Citroen were going to 'make the DS again'. Nothing on the Citroen web-site but I do remember seeing some scoop photos in a French car mag a year or so ago, which I dismissed as nationalistic overload on the part
