French Car Forum

Hi Everyone.
In the past I’ve had a few different French cars, Citroen Xantia, Peugeot 309 and a Renault Laguna. I’m picking up a secondhand Citroen Nemo van in 2 days, a 2016 1.3 diesel.
Thanks for allowing my membership, you will see I have my first question (probably one of many).
Baldhead

I've just started driving again after a few years off for medical reasons. I need a small 3 door hatch, I'm a petrolhead and I've always been a huge fan of the original Twingo.

I'll be driving under 5k miles a year. Given that their underpinnings are largely MK1 Clio how crazy an idea is this??

Hi to all Francophiles,

To get straight to the point, I'm a classic car photographer and writer, and I'm hoping by joining your forum to find a Citroen CX for a forthcoming photoshoot. I hope you don't mind me coming in with such a request.

The shoot is for a major monthly classic car magazine and will probably be held in the Herts/Bucks area,...

Greetings from Poitou Charente and with my first French car, C5 (X7).

Very hot it being high summer almost, yet utterly beautiful here.

As much as I love British Engineering, I had to go French auto seeing as I now live here, its only polite.

Since buying it, it's proved a great vehicle, but basic milage services have to be done, and on my...

Hi all,

Just joined the forum as I'm viewing a 2009 Citroen Dispatch Campervan on Saturday with the 1.6hdi engine.

Any thoughts on things to check other than the usual second hand checks?

Cheers

Hi there,
I live in a small village 40 minutes away from Málaga city, and own a 1994 Citroen ZX 1.9TD Volcane and a 1999 Peugeot Partner 1.9D. Both cars are pretty knackered (although the zx is still a beauty) and can't be worth much more than 500 euros between them, so I've started doing any maintainance and repair work myself. I have already...

Hello all. I have just moved house, and extra garage space means that my 2005 MX5 can finally be retired from daily driving duty and become a rare sunny day treat.

It’s only worth £1500 or so but I love it, and recently spent £3400 on rust and bodywork, so I won’t be getting rid of it.

I have one young child and another on the way. Doing the...

Hello everyone,

I'm very glad to become a part of this forum, since nearly all the other forums (or fora ? A bit too nerdy of me, sorry) have apparently ceased to exist.

Hi all,

Hi all. I've just picked up my new (to me) C5 X7 Touring from a member on here. I'm only on day 2 of ownership and I'm already loving it.

I've picked up the car as my ageing dogs are struggling to get in and out of my Land Cruiser. There was no way the Cruiser was going so I picked up the C5 as an additional car.

There's no doubt I'll be picking...

Hi I'm Marco from North Wales, I have a 2014 Citroen Relay 2.2.

I guess some of you may already know me from 306 circles but thought I'd register here too.

I'm Ben. Currently got a 1998 306 Rallye that's getting a (very slow) absolute OEM restoration. I've also got a silver 2002 Ph2 Xsara VTS that's had just three owners and done just 57k.

I also break the odd car here and there. I've another Ph2...

Just thought id drop in and say hi from Manchester
Ive spent the last week or so reading up on the ins and outs of Peugeots. and the DV6 engine..
My partner has always been a big fan of Peugeots, having had two 206's, a 307CC and two 208's.

Now the fleet i am expected to support is a 2007 Pug 308 1.6HDI, and also probably a 2015 Partner Teepee...

Hi
New member, in common with many newcomers I am after information. I will address my request in the relevant area.
After a long time hankering I purchased my first French Car A Citroen CX 2.5 N/A diesel in 1989. It was a bit of a ratty old thing but it was a holiday machine for my family. It towed my caravan all over the UK and crossed...

Hi all im new to the forum I'm unlucky enough to own a Peugeot Partner van.

Owner of a Peugeot 206 55 plate, had it for over 7 years, I think that it`s the most reliable car I have ever owned so far. I live in Gloucestershire, (Cheltenham, to be exact, that posh place where we get out of the shower to have a wee).

Since growing out of the Triumph brand of motor car, I've been mainly inclined to Go Gallic 😎
