• Berlingo Petrol Van - Citroen steering rack knock 14 May 2014 (Forum)
  February 2014 had a new rack fitted by my mechanic with a reconditioned one from Camberley Auto Factors plus near and o/side front lower ball joints and n/s/f shocker and then had the tracking reset. Kwick fit had problems getting the camber/toe and straight ahead adjustment s right. The knock from the new steering rack (or area) with is now worse, and my van still weaves/wanders a bit over bad road surfaces.It also has a tendancy to veer left mostly but sometimes right when coming to a gentle stop, depending on camber/road surface.
• Recommendations for BIG but economical estate pls. 7 Jan 2011 (Forum)
  Whole family is very tall. I'm 6'5", daughters are both 6'-ish and have long legs. We use most of the S-Max boot space when doing trips here & there so need to have a good amount of room. When I bought the S-Max last year I did the test of "sitting behind myself" by setting the driving seat to a comfortable position and then getting into the passenger seat behind.
• Citroen ZX 1.9 Diesel - Citroen zx, grumbling noise at low speed. 14 Dec 2010 (Forum)
  I have noticed that the noise is affected by steering and seemed to be coming from the offside. Remembering that I had done the o/s wheel bearing about 18 months ago I thought it might be the o/s outer CV joint. I bought one and fitted it and also renewed the wheel bearing just in case. Driving the car, The noise is still there although very much reduced by at least 75%.
