Pinched from my mates at 2CVGB.

Very good!

Two tone (burgandy/black) BX19 RD MK 1 on ebay. Looks in very good condition, plenty of pics long description, item number: 454638993. Only 140,000 miles on a 'B' plate.

Only been on there a few hours and already on £560 ! shows how rare they are these days and it does look in good condition. I like the bit about having a totally standard engine but its 170bhp Hes been misinformed I guess as hes advertising it for a friend

Today I got 3 letters in the post
1) a V5c for Vera (registration document)
2) a letter saying that I could not declare SORN on the car as it was not registered in my name (applied for this when I bought the car)
3) a fine because I am the new registered keeper and I have not declared SORN
For overseas listeners SORN is this governments way of...

Rodney Rude . Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
What ever happened to him?

Over to you Alan

Hi guys, new to the forum & have got to say it looks great. Hope you dont mind someone from the Antipodes hanging about! Thought someone may be interested in having a look at some pics from the annual Citroen meet which was held in Perth WA this year. Enjoy!

Hi
The AA used to have a petrolbusters section to their website: you entered your postcode or region, and it would tell you the cheapest local petrol station.
It no longer seems to exist - does anyone know of anything similar?

Should have given this a more intriguing name to begin with.

Does anybody know the best way to go about getting a lockup garage....I tried Birmingham council for the last 18 months without a single reply, only need a single car one to store bits in.

guys:

what do you think? it's a quick and dirty windows paint job, but it good enough to get the picture...
Which one is better?
thanks!

Loves towing in Saxo on trailer!

Visited Dave Bamber this weekend and collected my genuine Citroen tools that i bought on ebay, 5 boxes gratefully collected and stored by Mr B, thank you!
Its those annoying tools that the Haynes refers to 'use Citroen tool number 7xxx', well know i have some of them! It's taken a few hours but i've figured out what a couple of them do, theres no...

Well people do sell their car, and go for a newer model, but I can't help thinking this seller is going about it the wrong way.
Basically most of us would rather progress from a Mondeo to an Xantia, and not the other way round.
Here's the link:-

Once most sensible people have seen the light, and tried an Xantia, there is no going back.

This Activa is big enough to sleep in, and it's the most expensive Activa I've seen !
Here's the link:-

For newbies and experienced
Moved to general chat.

I cannot believe that ITV went to an advert break with 3 laps of the GP to go

That was the limit - got the idea from:

where this bloke has a very lazy cat called Wesley.
This is Wesley playing Buckaroo...

Wife has one of these,
Trying to figure out how the water pump comes off?
Do i need to remove the cam belt and pulleys does anyone know?
Cheers

.... Space saver wheel suitable for slinging under the Xantia?
Its currently got a standard steel rim with a 185 section tyre on it and frankly with the towbar in situ its a bloody pain to get the wheel on or off the cradle.
Toyed with the idea of fitting a 165 section tyre to see if that improved matters, but just wondered if any of the PSA cars...

Brought 5lts of LHM PLUS today.On the front it says Suitable for CITROEN,Rolls Royce & Bentley*
Look on the back to see what the * ment,& it had Citroen!!
Shant say who makes it,but its not just everyday Joes who cant spell it correctly!

This visit to the Peugeot factory at Ryton, which I mentioned in the forum before is now scheduled to go ahead on Sunday 19th June. It is a Club Peugeot UK organised event, and open to all memebers. It may be the last chance to see cars being built at Ryton, as there is no planned sucession to the 206 there.
If you would like to come, please let...

Well this is not how your rear lenses should look, they are looking rough. What did the owner clean them with, wire wool ?
It's things like this, along with the worn out rear wiper blade that will ensure that a future owner will wonder what else is wrong with the car, other than what has been disclosed in the listing.

Here's the listing:-

Sharing a few holiday photos back from Egypt... spot the Fiesta...NOT!

I have emailed for details, could be a fun day out. Does seem odd though that Wigan is the nearest place for Manchester area??
.

If you are like me, and wondered what happened to the vehicles that a council, takes to their car pound for whatever reason, and the owner does not collect/claim their vehicle well here's the answer.
This is what the City Of Westminster is doing with this unclaimed Rover.

They are selling it on ebay.

Here's the link:-

As some people may remember, there was an '85 Diesel BX off ebay that failed to have any bids on it. Time to get myself my first ever Hydro Citroen I thought! Contacted seller, and they were happy to part with it for a couple of tenners. Brilliant.
Arranged to be met at Camberley railway station, monday lunchtime. No problems so far. Emails from...

If you happen to be in London, then maybe this is worth considering as a fun addition to a day out. This is because you can enjoy the sights of the capital city on land, and from the Thames, taking pictures of the sights, and other tourists as they see you cruising around in an amphibious vehicle. This a trip on a day out which gets a as it will...

If the story is true, then HPI may not be as good as its cracked up to be.....

Sorry that this has no relevance whatsoever to Citroëns, but I'm trying to fathom out how to work a multimeter I got for Chrismas a couple of years ago. It's a fairly standard digital multimeter with a big dial and about a million settings. I can work out where to plug the probes in according to what I'm trying to measure, but don't know what...

Ooeerr just had Jeans ZX Aura done. Rear brakes freed up, they were sticking a bit, one hand brake cable replaced.
Exhaust emissions very high even after fortes added to fuel and long blast up the local M'way! so had to adjust the fuel pump in the end. Maybe that's why its always used slightly more fuel than the Avantage.
Plus a full service, all...

Oh, My, GOD! what a weekend!
So after the minor disaster on Friday night (see my other post), i finally had my car running hapily and insured, taxed and MOT'd! For the first time in four months i had wheels and it was great!
So Saturday morning myself and my friend Matt set off on the 560 mile trip to Portsmouth to get AdamSki's St Tropez. Pretty...

This is an I.T. programme I have seen on T.V. which is well worth watching.
The transmission times are listed here on this link:-

I found the information, and reports very useful, they also report on an in depth and technical basis.
It can also be seen on the net, if you have broadband, and are one of our many forum members who are not in the...

Hi
Now i appreciate this is a sad question (actually very sad question) but does anyone know what the clear plastic strips are for on the bottom part of the back door and part of the rear wing on a Xantia????
Why do i ask i hear you say welllll my friend has just bought an avensis and that has the same strips......so she asked me.... (over the...

Well after a 4 month lay up Jaz is finally back on the road, though not as easily as i had imagined!
After getting the bus to my parents, picking up the insurance documents and sprinting to the post office i was just in time to get a years worth of tax. Walk back to the parents house, start the car! Amazingly it started up pretty easily. Used the...

Well I suppose someone will buy this bubble car, but it looks like a major project !

Well it didn't last long, how long can 2 cars be enough for one man?
So I've bought myself an ADO.16, and a very, very, nice one it is too, having won loads of awards

This story appeared in the papers recently, and there are some details here on this link:-

Apparently the parents have now decided to call the child Megane.
So this made me think, what if the car had been a Citroen instead of a Renault. With the most recent previous models they mainly had names, so you could have a child called Xsara, Xantia...

This one comes up pretty frequently but I’ve checked mine today and I’m over the moon with the prices...
I'm 26 and own 2 Xantia’s, a V6 and a 2.1 (both to be Activa’s). I’m looking at starting up my insurance on these cars soon so i can build up my no claims.
the prices i have are:
£900.20 for an Activa 2.1 TD (1 group below a VSX in case any one...

As taken from the paper today.
The mileometer on a 4 yr old Peugeot 406 leapt to 386000 miles after an electrical fault.Owner Philip would have to travel around the world 15 times to cover that distance.He has only done 12000,but could face a bill of £900 to fix it.However,that would reset the mileage to zero.Philip said i`d never sell my car...
