by GiveMeABreak » 06 Mar 2025, 17:55 » in Citroën

Disruption to Parts Service

Hi and welcome - we really need the fault codes. The warnings do not provide a definitive reason - only that the Airbag ECU has detected a fault on the self-check. You need to have it read with Lexia / Diagbox and put up the fault codes along with your VIN here for assistance.

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.

It's John Wood's fault

First post

You should worry little. Here in the UK we pay the equivalent of AU$2.15 per litre of fuel. And people wonder why we buy small french diesel cars!

Last post

Speaking of petrol prices, take a look at the name of the guy who runs the servo with the highest priced petrol in Australia.
Geez ya've gotta keep an eye on him!!

Is it a misspelling??

Warning to Paypal users

by Homer » 12 Apr 2005, 12:51

First post

Never ever click on a link in an email like that.
If it is from your bank/ebay/paypal then go directly to their site the way you would normally and log in.
Don't even click out of curiosity, you don't know what nasties are lurking on the site you get sent to.

Last post

Had an email today from Paypal.Said that my account/Paypal I.D has been used in Europe.They are asking me to confirm all my account details by clicking on the link in the email..If i do not confirm my details,they will have no choice to suspend my account.
Yeah right .Do they think i was born yesterday?Went into my Paypal account through Ebay,no...

Bio-diesel

by Kowalski » 11 Apr 2005, 18:09

First post

Bio-diesel costs more to make than mineral diesel its the tax that makes up the difference making mineral diesel more expensive to sell because bio-diesel gets a 20p/litre tax break.
Bio-diesel is cheaper after tax than mineral but because its a greener fuel the forecourts believe they can charge more for it, its a premium product that is cleaner...

Last post

I've seen Bio-deisel on the forecourts and read a few trends about it.
But why is it retailing at the same price or higher than standard Petro-deisel?
If I were to think about using a veg-oil mix what are my requirements for the VAT man, should I consider doing it?
For that matter which ready available oil could I use, standard vegetable oil from...

Fiesta haynes

by bernie » 10 Apr 2005, 17:43

First post

Can't confirm Neil but it's got a line drawing showing the filter/oil pump ass. being removed with a single terminal sensor next to it.
I would say it was the oil pressure sensor as the water temp. sensor would be on the head.
One way to check, remove the wire and earth it on the block. If the lamp and wiring is ok then the oil light will come on...

Last post

Ok,sorry it`s not french.Has any body got a B.O.L`s for a Ford Fiesta?Or know of the OHV engine?
On the rear of the engine above the oil filter is what i presume is the oil pressure switch,single wire going to it.24mm spanner size.Can anyone confirm this,as my wifes car has a bad oil leak coming from it.Also the oil light does not work.
Thanks

IS THIS UNUSUAL ?

by paranoid » 10 Apr 2005, 02:30

First post

Seen a couple when i've been out looking for xant's in the last fortnight, they look a really proffesional fitment very neat and out the way. But really wanted a diesel though.

Last post

Normally it's common to see a lot of diesel, and petrol Xantia's about, but this one is dual fuel, I.E. petrol, and L.P.G. Are there many dual fuel Xantia's around, or any other Citroen's that have been converted to dual fuel ?

The wedding

by Stinkwheel » 10 Apr 2005, 02:07

First post

Speaking of MIG welders I took mine into work last week and had the welder man give it a good going over, gosh, I never knew they could work so well :-)
There are some advantages of working for a bog name tool firm after all.

Last post

Tom and Adam paid me a visit today.
Tom found some faults on my Mig welder c/board and Adam wants my BX estate.
The only problem?
I missed the wedding, oh well I'll have to wait for the divorce (adultery et al) s'pose I should have recorded it
Question for Antipedians, what do you think of your future Queen?

First post

A good 1.9 takes some beating, sent me off thinking about my MK1 RD those seats were comfy too, AdamskiBX looks like the EBay GTI is going to go on quite a bit, a decent diesel is a very good intro to the BX.

Last post

I have just been reunited with my first BX which has been in Bernie's care for a while. He replaced the radiator and the head, in which he found a crack. AdamskiBX has been needing a good car for a little while so I introduced him to Bernie and I think that the car will now change hands. It is a good example of the 1.9 NA Diesel and Bernie hasn't...

Soory to do do this to you guys 'n' girls, but sat on the drive is the new car. A bright red Mazda 323F 5 door coupe shape, not the pop up head light model. Full service history, 1 owner and all the bits in electric,, mirrors, windows, sunroof etc. Just couldn;t get the wife to look at any Xantia's or C5's. Can't afford a C4 yet so this'll do for...

Wax or Polish?

by Stuart McB » 09 Apr 2005, 17:34

First post

Auto glym, I found are the best. They do all sorts of polish, waxes. Stay away from that wash 'n' wax as it leaves the windscreen all smery when you put the wiper on in the rain.

Last post

Whats the difference in finish between waxing and polishing?
Also what is the best brand of car cleaning products?
