Hello everyone! I've recently bought a rather nice C6. (2.7 HDi V6 Exclusive). Not surprisingly with such a complicated beast a few niggly gremlins but I've sorted a couple already without too much bother. The car has been recently recommissioned by Wolsey House Motors in Diss after being in storage for a while, so up to now it's been dirty...

Hi everyone,

Marc here - I have a Citroen Relay 2017 which I'm in the process of converting into a camper. It's my first van and first non-VW vehicle. I know a bit about cars but there's always more to know it seems, so love searching through these forums for little bits of information.

Cheers,
Marc

Hi all,

Probably should have registered a while ago. I have been tinkering for a bit with my two Peugeots (Partner Escapade 1.6HDi 2007 and a 307 1.6 petrol 2007). I would say amateurishly, although a few people on here have linked a few of my videos (

Really hope to give/receive help on issues with my cars that I may need/know.

Many thanks...

Hi all,
I am that new member who didn't really read any forum rules and just jumped in asking for help.
Sorry about that but I am a bit anxious to get my girlfriends car sorted.
She relies on an electric wheelchair and so bought herself a Peugeot Partner Tepee that has been adapted for wheelchairs.
This is basically the best and easiest way I can...

My lasted is a DS4 1.2 purtech. All my previous Citroens have never had issues ( C4 1.6 HDI diesel. C4 1.2 petrol. DS4 1.6 diesel)
Now I have the DS4 1.2 puretec I am not so impressed. Don't get me wrong it's a lovely car to drive BUT. Since I have...

Hi everyone,

New to the forum and have had the pleasure of owning many French cars over the years including my first car which was a 1.8 pug 306 😀.
Will be honest and admit I have joined to solve an issue I have currently, I am looking for the correct gearbox code for a Peugeot 206. I stumbled across a thread through Google where givemeabreak was...

Hello everybody, just thought I'd say hello, I'm Moe from Wales, thankyou for having me!

Hi everyone

I have just joined, and it's time for me to publically admit I am rather fond of French cars! As well as Italian and Swedish but that's another matter...

Took a huge gamble today and purchased my third Citroën, which is a C6. From an auction, and I had seen it for about 20 seconds. What could possibly go wrong?! Well, plenty it...

Hello

I'll be emigrating to the UK in Feb '23 and I'm fairly certain, after substantial research, that I'd very much like to get a C3 picasso, in diesel.

My family will be joining me several months later as I've been elected to head into the wilds of the UK and secure the kindness of the natives, lodging, transport and food security of some...

Hi I'm here! Hope to join in with the help. I have a 2014 expert tepee

Hi guys!

I've been reading this forum for awhile, but until now I had no troubles with my car. Unfortunately that changed, so, maybe that will force me to socialize a bit more :)

Hi rabble. Just a quick note to let you know I’m here. Hi everyone as you might guess we don’t join these forum for fun most times. So here we go I’m looking at buying a lexia3 pp2000 for resetting some of the bits on the motor. Ie the fuel adaptive pump and levels are these any good for this. Cheers

Hi, on my second C4 Picasso Grand and previously many moons ago owned a Renault 25 ( sorry but the worst car I have ever owned ) I have posted my first post here :

My C4 is my only car and has been very reliable up to now but would buy another without a shout but probably petrol ( I don’t buy all this EV hype …Synthetic fuel is the way forward )...

Hi, folks.

Just acquired French car number 4 (C4 Picasso), having been a Skoda driver for many years. Can I say Skoda on here?! I thought I might give you esteemed experts a pop quiz.

Yeah, thinking abut it, over 25 years, the car history for spouse and I goes: Vauxhall, Peugeot, Renault, Ford, Rover, Peugeot, Skoda, Skoda, Citroën.

See you in...

Hi All,

I tried to introduce myself when I registered with the forum, but something went wrong, I don't know. Until now, I enjoyed the technical discussions even though I didn't have any serious problems -I'm a car enthusiast, as I'll describe in a bit. :)

Hi everyone,

I'm Julian and have stumbled across this forum thanks to Google and my issue with my Pug 407. So pleased that this forum is here and it looks like it has a wealth of information available.

I'm now off to find a rabbit hole to see if I can find how to update my firmware......

I hope I don't get lost.

Cheers :-)

Hi All,

I'm new to the forum, but not new to French cars. Own three fab French motors at the moment. A 207 SW HDI, A C4 B7 HDI, and a C5 X7 HDI. I've owned loads of French cars over the years, starting with Citroen Visa GT back in the early 90's, followed by BX GTI, Visa GTI, Synergie, C3, and then the three I have now.

Must admit that I need...

My 1.9d HDI has been hard to start for some time. It cranks for some time then starts ok but lots white smoke, strong deisell smell. Runs fine when started. I decided to try and find out the reason. I checked all the glow plugs all OK. I then checked to see if there was any supply to them and I found that there was no supply when first turning the...

Hi everyone,

Evening fellas

I’d like to start by making a confession.

I have a problem, a serial affliction for which it seems there is no cure.

I keep on buying cars that are unloved and in poor health. I can’t help it.

I always have the best of intentions to smother them with love and affection, to restore their former glories, but alas, life and work...

Bonjour! This petite French import 205 GL was still running when I bought it last December and I've just overhauled it. I've yet to find out which TU engine is in it; probably a TU3 A/K but the displacement (cc/cm3) isn't even listed in the Vietnamese vehicle registration! I've attached photos including the VIN plaque (VF3**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]) and two...

Hi folks, have just arrived here after taking possession of a 2010 C5 2.0 Diesel Tourer.

Based on the South Coast, in Bexhill and coming from a Mercedes estate and more recently a Volvo V70 it's a huge difference in maneuverability and fuel economy - it's a nice machine to drive but......that dashboard is absolutely mental!!! :D I'm no stranger...

Hi FCFers, it's been a while. :-D

After more than a few years without a Citroen, I picked up a cheap C5 X7 so I'll probably be doing lots of complaining once I find my old Lexia clone cable and read some codes.

It's good to be back :wink:

Hi guys,

I own 1989 Renault 5 1.4L Automatic and am living in Japan. My car has some minor troubles, for example throttle linkage, some defects in interior parts and so on, and looking for the online store I can find the parts for Renault 5. If some of you could let me know the good store, it would be very helpful.

Thanks!
