Many of you may have spoken to or even had their Citroen photographed by the author, Lance Cole, last year at various rallies which he attended.

Bit of a spiel from Amazon:

Quite typically, after posting about needing a boat in the thread about the knocking front end on the Berlingo, I had a blow-out at 45mph, total destruction of the front right tyre, wheel trim chasing me down the road in the mirror as it flew off the time ( On the A329M bridge going through Hurst, towards DInton pastures for HellRazor's info ) ......

I loved this when I saw it on an American site! Now i've found one and put it on my new C5!

Has anyone dablled with one of these?

I've ordered one a they're quite cheap and I was thinking of replacing the clock in Cassy with something a bit more informative, maybe with the temperature both inside and out etc, then I got to thinking about climate control.
Someone in the past, as with many Xantias, had changed the air flow flap with the...

After reading (both corporate guff and internet trawling) I am going to give some of their droplinks a crack. Oh, and bumpstops.

Will report fearlessly in due course (this might be two years' time).

I looked on the DVLA site last night and checked on my old 2.5 Xm. This is what it came up with:

After many months stood idle and not being on the road for a year I needed to start up and move the old girl. I dropped in her battery that's been in the garage on charge and gave her one time on the glowplugs. She fired up in just a couple of seconds, not much smoke and relatively smooth to say she was stone cold. The suspension pumped up OK,...

Do you still need to take the MoT result sheet along with you to renew road tax at the post office now it's all on-line?

Note I'm having a quiet evening and been thinking, I cannot guarantee these are accurate however they are my knowledge. I'd appreciate any thoughts and corrections. I've not researched them I've just pulled them from memory. :lol:

Fact A. Apart from the 'font' changes (around 1986 and possibly 1992) to the instrument panel there are six types:...

Just a bit of fun chaps,
Booked the MOT for the Veg burner on Friday morning (09:30), done 0 prep to it apart from the advisories form last year.
How many fails or Advisories do you reckon it'll get???? ;-)

it'll definately get one for Oil leak on engine as there's Oil All over it from the cog box issues, And it'll get one for Play in the wiper...

I'm trying to find in the UK 2 bolts M10 x 1.25 bolt with 16mm thread length and 8.8 grade. The length can be longer and cut down on the 16mm.

I have a 'M' reg. 1.0 Ltr and the speedometer cable has snapped. I access to a 1.0 Ltr. 'P' reg. AX for spares which has the later electronic cableless speedometer. Can anyone tell me if I can convert the 'M' reg. to use the cableless system please.

I've heard this talked about before its a bit of a tight squeeze and I think you need a homemade downpipe as the stock one will not fit as the bulkhead / trans tunnel is in the way.

Should go very well though. :-D

Check the picture about the seventh one down the list, not bad for a D reg XLD with 500k on it. =D>

Puttering back into life: Volunteers restore 100-year-old First World War prototype fighter plane but replace its original 45-horsepower engine with one from a Citroen 2CV

I've had AA membership now for 3 years. The original guy caught me off guard when I came out of B&Q one Sunday afternoon and it seemed like a good idea so I signed up at a discounted rate for the year as a special promotion.

Last year I got the renewal through and it was about £50 more then it would of been for a new customer so I rang them up...

I'm not sure how well known this is.

A bit of exposure to a fault on C3 and Blingo models with the 1.4 has yielded the common faults thus:

Dash temperature gauge suddenly goes to max, warning light on. Then it stops again and back to normal! Faults come up as temperature sensor short circuit or open circuit and permanent cooling fault in ECU...

This quest started when I swapped rear flex hoses on my 405 disc brake rear, and the brake fluid siphoned itself right out. Took me half a dozen bleeds to get it sorted.

So now, a simple couple of items you make from used brake hoses. You need a small metal vice and brazing kit.

Clamp the hose end in the vice, and cut off the hose with a...

What do you guys think of this?

onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

I need to weld various parts of the underside of the 405. It's currently more or less a bare shell on my driveway. They seem to have excellent feedback. I wouldn't anticipate keeping it, I'd buy it, do the job, then sell it on. I hadn't considered something like this...

Well, I'm going to be needing something to replace the C5 with at some point in the not-too-distant. Curiously it's water usage hasn't been too bad this week. Haven't taken the cap off to check, but as I've had no top up engine coolant message, I guess it's ok.

Anyway. Whatever I get *must* be petrol due to the ability to get it cheap, legally....

Anyone surprised by the video footage of drivers driving straight into floodwater without even slowing down? Any opinions on their abilities?
Cars, vans, motorbikes , all guilty. Couldn't believe that these are qualified drivers. [-X

happy new year guys and thank you for all your help this past year

Just for the curious ie me...

Where there any FWD applications using the Indenor unit ? :)

Something says no as it appears quite a long unit (with viscous fan but that's easily dealt with) but I could be wrong.

ECP have got a sale on at the minute so I think I'll be treating the Zx to some new Bilstein shock absorbers and new discs and pads too while the offers on, too good to miss.

Hi guys

Does anyone use a Snooper Lynx GT or similar?

Please no answers saying watch the speedo bla bla bla. I want one and can not decide which.

Received a Christmas Card from Citroen in the post this morning.

Was quite refreshing to see that they remember their roots...

Would of been easy for them to put a new model from the DS range on it but it's nice to see they (someone in head office) remember(s) the old stuff too :)

Insurance due 29/12/2013.

Last years dealings were: AA quote £217.

Just replaced my 2 front tyres with a pair of Dunlop Blueresponse. I found them really noisy to the point that I have now swapped them for the slightly worn back tyres with a different tread pattern.
