Citroen Total Stickers - Where from?

Not from Citroen! I did just check by looking up rear window and tailgate on a couple of popular models, but there is no sign of the sticker on the parts listing.
Try 2cv Graphics by Jeff & Chris they can/have reproduced loads of obsolete badges and stickers for Citroen models. (site was very very slow when I looked, be patient).

Renault Twingo

First post

Had one as hire car once when over in France with a mate. Funky little thing. Drove fine. Have seen a couple on the roads around Worcestershire both a rather loud lime green colour. I'd have one if the steering was put on the proper side. Never seen any adds in the cars mags I read for them or right hand conversion.

Last post

I dont know if anybody has a Renault Twingo, but I noticed a couple in the scrap yard in Devizes when I was looking for 504 bits.
Always thought the Twingo was a fantastic looking car, shame Renault never put the wheel on the other side as well.

First post

The wife did belong to the Soft top Vauxhal club. Good meets, nice people. loads of bugers and hot dogs at the shows. She is now with the Renault Megane Coupe & Convertible Club. It's a free Webb based club and we've been to a couple of shows with them. Again a good old laugh.

Does anybody belong to a motor club. I recently joined Club Peugeot UK, and was wondering if anybody else on this forum belongs to, or similar?

Hi fellow avocados
Please ignore this post if you are busy, or have dropped your toast buttered side down.
Whilst perusing this excellent forum, it struck me that we have a wide spectrum of user names.
Some are just the member's name, maybe occasionally reversed, as in PowerLee.
Others have a connection with their owner or their vehicle, like...

There's more room than you think

Not exactly French, though, is it ? I had a couple of these and liked them but 128 saloons were quicker and stopped better. The 128 Berlinetta was a real jewel, though. Pretty and with a 1500 motor and a 5 speed box fitted I did 50,000 miles in one before moving on to Saabs.

Another rip-off

Maybe worth having a word with the Daily Mail?

Last post

We were due to go on an afternoon booze cruise with P&O ferries today - courtesy of the Daily Mail for £19. The wife fell off her bike and broke an arm and fractured her hip. I phoned P&O to postpone, expecting to pay a small admin charge. To re-schedule the trip for four weeks time they wanted £124. No wonder they're having to cut staffing levels.

Tracking the BX

by paranoid » 27 Sep 2004, 19:26

First post

I go to my local fitter, who's excellent (you may have seen him on telly, the only tyre repairer who could fix a puncture to trading standards errr standard.) After he did mine with all the lazer gear it felt like a racing car. With all the speedbumps around he reckons tracking needs doing at least every 3-4 months (and no he wasn't trying for...

Last post

Driving David's BX, Graculus, I realised that my own car didn't steer well for a BX. Track rod ends were due anyway but how to track the brute. You can't get wetter than a thick drip fitter so DIY had to be the option. First do the research.
The total toe out between 0 and 3mm.
Car is crab tracked by 56mm. (Estate)
Wheelbase is 2655mm.

I think M-People Search for the Hero for Peugeot 406 has to be a nomination.

Who fancies running with a clearance timing belt? :)

Last post

If you head in to Halfords at the moment they seem to have a big clearance sale on loads of pad, shoes, filters, timing belts etc etc. prices from one pence! Found a set of shoes for my '99 punto for £5.99. not bad, and a Fiat Panda set of Ferrodo shoes for 1p !!

It's a bit like credit cards: you only get the low or no interest deal if you are a new customer; they don't give it to the existing ones.
I was an RAC member for 13 years, and I must admit they were very good on the rare occasions I used them, but they just got too expensive- I am now with national breakdown , arranged through the CSMA and it's a...

Had our AA renewal through the post, we've got joint membership which breaksdown (ha ha ha) as follows for Option 200 cover:
Roadside £45
Relay £42
Joint cover for Mrs G Wood £23
TOTAL £110.
We've been members for 8 years.
I did try and call to renew it but there is only so long I can be kept on hold, so thought I'd try their website instead. Then...

Jon, I'm very glad that you have decided to buy a Real Citroen.
That'll stop GSF deleting parts! Seriously though, if there are parts you need or any technical info that you don't already have (as if!)
please be in touch. Good luck with it.
PS: best tip for the BX TD.
Take off the intercooler, Pressure wash it gently from the underside.

I know what you mean, but I seem to be paying an absolute fortune in income tax to a government that's more interested in fox-hunting and Iraq than the dire state of our transport infrastructure, the homeless, street crime, etc- not to mention the 100 odd quid a month in council tax which I seem to get less and less for!!!

Last post

Following a now closed thread on the subject of bleaching red Diesel and lots of interest in running cars on lard, chip fat and so on, I am disconcerted by the number of people who quite openly seem to regard cheating the taxman as a viable economy measure.
I have no beef (or dripping- 44MPG) with those who are declaring their fuels to the...

Spur of the moment

by Robin » 23 Sep 2004, 01:53

First post

I went up to see my sister at RAF Valley, Anglesey, because I was bored one Saturday. Got there and she was away for the weekend so drove back.
That was from Cambridge to RAF Valley and return in one go - in a Ford Anglia in 1968. Can't remember how long it took but it was a very, very long time.

Last post

What the greatest distance you've decided to drive at the spur of the moment decision?
Me - started in Reading, ended up in Brussels! Did the whole round trip via Calais hypermaket and the Sainsbury on a tank of diesel in the, then 106 1.4D. Only wanted a pint of milk...maybe!

Nice idea!
Perhaps breaking down into marque, or even petrol / diesel catergories.
I realise this could lead to a small amount of work for Jon , but I'm sure it's not impossible......is it??
Just how many different head gasket threads can there be??

Last post

I have noticed how often the same sort of starter questions come up from contributors either new to the forum or to Citroen cars in general.
Could we put together a collection of FAQ's for each series or model and these could stay at the top of each page/section? Robin

Full Service History or is it?

by tomsheppard » 18 Sep 2004, 15:09

First post

Full owner service history: Owner under 30; price -5%
full owner service history: owner over 40; Price + 10%
Dealer service history; explain to owner that it has been extensively vandalised and mistreated and that there are the records to prove it: price-30%

Last post

I finally got around to doing a service on the Xantia this afternoon - 4000 miles late. Yes thats thousands late. I have my business stamp and I put this on the service history sheet with the true mileage but wouldn't it be easy to falsify the records?
I used to have a lease motor that was maintained through a commercial outfit and only the very...

If your ISP account was originally from a disk then just reload or get a new one. They give you the choice of loading a new or existing account. If it was an 'on line' account - I don't know! Unless it is a broadband connection ISP then your modem should detect it and your operating system should go and get the drivers, software connection etc.
Or...
