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...

Passive rear steering

by tomsheppard » 25 Nov 2004, 21:51

First post

Easiest way of explaining it is the Cordiano nee Chapman strut.
Assume that the rear wheels toe in and that they have negative camber.
As the body rolls, the toe in becomes greater on the outer wheel, increasing the turn into the bend.
The disadvantages of the setup are a slight increase in rolling resistance and tyre wear.

Last post

So I got to wondering: how does that work? Which part passively steers ? Is it the whole sub-frame, just the stub axles or what?
What are the disadvantages of this setup?

The local scum broke into a 306 like this in my street the other week, They bent the top of the door down & creased it, wrecking the door, but they couldnt get it open because of the DEADLOCKS.
Im just thankful the alarm I have warns scum away before they even touch my car.

I had a problem in a supermarket with a car of mine,(not a Citroen)where I parked in the car park. Now I have seen people get out of their cars, & open their doors against other cars usually these muppets park to close (lack of spacial awareness), but even when they do park, & leave enough space which is rare they will open the door(s) wide, &...

XANTIA EXTERIOR TRIM

by martyhopkirk » 17 Nov 2004, 19:33

First post

Hello, The trim is chrome painted plastic, covered with a laquer.
even fairly vigorous polishing can strip the laquer and then the chrome . TBH the only way round this if they are suffering badly is either to source some new inserts at a scrappers, or have them repainted by on eof the chip away / dentmaster boys. They did my accident damaged...

Last post

Hi I would appreciate extra information on this subject, because my car is only six years old, but has a problem with the exterior trim where the chrome effect trims are showing signs of deterioration. Why is this happening on what is a relatively young car?
Is there a way around this problem as it makes the trims look bad?
I did enquire at a main...

Easy!!!!
I have been doing private research into therapeutic working patterns, with the emphasis on lateral thinking and complex physical manipulation combined with mentally taxing exercises-I have old Citroens....
Sorted!!!!

Got an interview for a G grade tomorrow (working as an F as a lone practitioner which heaves me off something terrible)
Its more money, less patinets (40 as opposed to 207) and I should be able to get my holidays roughly when i want, again as opposed to having to fight for them and being on call even when off sick...
Yet why have i spent more time...

Peter Russek manuals

by JohnD » 15 Nov 2004, 23:20

First post

I have the BX edition and the Xantia one. Both are very good with first class descriptions of jobs. Illustrations not so good since they are only pen sketches. No photographs at all. Don't know if they have improved later editions, but the bindings are terrible. My Xantia copy is almost a pile of single sheets.

Anyone with experience of these books? Better or worse than HBOL! R

Recognition.... Hmm.... Could it be the fact (im assuming) we will all be in Citroens Mike?
Or perhaps we should all carry a rolled up newspaper! HE HE HE!
Thought we were headding towards the museum (signposted Concord) Or perhaps I am wrong.

Last post

Right, folks - started another thread here just to tidy it up.
We are agreed on Saturday 2:00 pm. Precisely where at the airport are we meeting, and how are we going to recognise each other?
Up to now, we have:
Yours truly - Dyane
Marty Hopkirk - ZX
Dave Bamber - Berlingo
Tom Sheppard - BX
Oilyspanner - ?
James - ZX
Mat - ?
Please add to list

Looks good and seems to show at least 6 of the said car in various guises. They did a a buyers guide of the 2CV a couple of months ago, and it's avalible on back order.

Now most of us spend our time complaining, quite jusifiably about the motror trade, the amount of money it costs us and the way we are constantly in danger of being ripped off.
Sometime ago a thread was started about good service from garages etc, cant seem to find it now.
So here is an example of how it could be: Having had my back crushed for...

Much missed. Those late nights diving up the motorway back in 1992 listening to half man half bisciut, the wedding pressent, new order and many, many more will be missed. changed my listening from the usual stuff to some great stuff.

Last post

Miles off topic apart from the fact that the late Mr. P was a great fan of '30s motor racing and knew his stuff but if you are near radio 4 at 12.30 today you would do well to listen to the Now Show for Mitch Benn's tribute.

Xsara reigns supreme.

by JohnD » 13 Nov 2004, 14:38

First post

The same in Spain. Thousands of Xsaras and Saxos - hardly any Xantias. Have often wondered why.

Last post

Have been on Holiday and noticed that on the island of Majorca the humble Xsara is the Citroen of choice. Now I know that on the site we Xsara drivers get a little bit of ribbing about how the ZX was, and is a better car even though they are the same car underneath. As I say the Xsara was seen all over the place where the ZX could be counted on 1...

Dunno - but my Dragon works a treatwith bags more OOOMPH and no smoke.

Last post

Ive been thinking about these tuning boxes, they claim to give you upto 115bhp and however many nm of torque, they do this by dumping in more fuel, but not increasing the boost on the turbo, whereas a company like upsolute who do a chip reprogram increase fuelling and turbo boost but still get round about the same figures. Why is this? Another...
