Given the number of 'After-sales campaign' notices concerning Takarta Airbags I have been made aware of when looking up parts from PSA for members, I thought I would post a link to the following documentary that may be informative concerning the issue with these igniters.

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

Bio-diesel

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.

I'm hiring a trailer to bring it back, cost just £40 for the day all inclusive with straps.
I think that's very reasonable.
