According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

Disruption to Parts Service

As you may be aware, the consolidation of the old PSA to the Stellantis Group systems has resulted in both a merge of data tools and a requirement to migrate PSA accounts to Stellantis Systems.

This has caused some problems for organisations like ours and the Team are currently looking at the best way forward. This...

SX C5 hatchbacks with 2.0 engines have a nice design of alloy wheel which I thought might well suit the Xantias shape. Not seen one them before but there is this on ebay which does look rahter good on them in my opinion. Still 15 so will take the correct Xantia sized tyres.

I have toy'd with the idea of putting on some 16 C5 alloys, I have a spare set, though I dont think the design would suit the Xantia, the tyres are the wrong size and I think Xantias look good on 15 wheels.

What Kills Cars in Australia

by addo » 04 Feb 2012, 07:17

First post

It's been interesting to swap experiences with a friend who runs a rural dealership (non PSA).

In the cities here, cars are written off economically due to a succession of minor knocks or a major shunt. Engines are generally low mileage and good donors when idiocy has killed another motor (ie; running with no coolant). You see too many overall...

someone sent me this

: Bring back any memories?

Someone asked me the other day, 'What was your favourite 'fast food' when you were growing up?'
'We didn't have fast food when I was growing up,' I informed him.
'All the food was slow.'
'C'mon, seriously. Where did you eat?'
'It was a place called home , I explained.

PSA Group and GM?

by Richard_C » 22 Feb 2012, 14:41

First post

Press speculation today that Peugeot and GM are in talks about an alliance. Many (many) moons ago, SAAB entered an alliance with GM ............. :(

Last post

I don't know why it's taken them (PSA) nearly 30 years to realise this when everyone else already had.

What about the GS / GSA series, and the ZX -- they were ideal size,
and had a definite identity (ie. not blandly mistakeable for anything else).

Xantia load limit

by trooper30 » 26 Feb 2012, 19:33

First post

Hi fellas, I trust you are all doing well :) :-D Nice simple question today as opposed to one of my rants :-D :roll:

I have to pick up some gravel for the garden this week, the bags are 25kg each and i recon I have 18 to collect, so how many do you recon i can stack in the back of the xantia before it snaps in half? Seats down only other weight...

Last post

With an XM estate load to suspension refusal, take a slab or so back out then let it rise.
You can then get at least another 25% extra weight in.
Be quick with the restart if you stall on the way home.

Xantia II Front Bumper Stiffener

by addo » 28 Feb 2012, 10:38

It's not listed as a separate part. A minor contretemps has cracked mine (hairline) with no damage to the bumper other than an inch long scuff.

Does the S1 bumper stiffener fit?

It's properly snowing here. We went out earlier as it's dad's birthday but the snow came in during that time. We were met by a lot of snow and thus a gentle 25-30MPH run home.

Some quick pics:

At least the Red GTi and the 14TRS are safe and sound inside visa-wise - pretty much all of the others are inside The other GTi (D800) will...

Kept the C5 Estate

by howiedean » 22 Sep 2011, 04:28

First post

Hi,
Well I have kept the C5 estate back in the UK while I'm away in the States for up to 2 years. I struggled to get any decent offers and it will be stored off road in a safe place.

There was no chance at all of finding any Citroen cars out here and to be honest there are very few diesel cars. I purchased a Dodge Durango 4.7 V8 from the guy I...

Last post

They didn't bother as the market was too saturated(so they say) and they had their own issues to deal with still :D

Citroen should start pushing cars out there again and IIRC back in the BX days the international map you got in your handbook even had 2, maybe 3 dealers/repair centres in the states....

Exporting would be better as im sure you...

Heres a good question.
Is it beter for the car. To use the fuel and oils. What the manufatur put in the car. When it was made.
Near me theres a toatal fuel station. . What has tatal oild fuel di icer screen wash. Every thing total

Last post

Absolutely no need to use Total specifically, it's just a marketing arrangement between Citroen and Total. Any oil of the correct spec will be fine and possibly even superior to Total, depending on brand. I use Morris oil and have done in all my Citroens for years with no problems at all. I also use supermarket fuel, again without any problems....

It's interesting that the term free climbing is used differently than I'm used to, as a rock climber. In rock climbing, free means climbing a rockface without mechanical aid (hooks and bolts set in the rock that you rest or pull on to make progress). Climbing free means using only your body.

Hi all,

Any of you on here know much about LPG? A mate of mine had a conversion done last summer and he's been banging on about it since. Seems to think that it is the best thing since sliced bread and has saved him serious money. Are any of you in the know about this? Is it worth looking into further or has it already had its day? I know that...

XUD by the looks of it (look at thermostat housing) but I'm unable to find out much more information. The URL on the image does work although I cannot really find much information in their forum given the language barrier. The forum the image is from (different) I also should look at, at some point, interesting.
