French Car Forum

Hi there,

I'm new to this forum so I decided to make my presentation...

I have 29 years old and I'm from Portugal. In past January I bought a 2002 C5 SX.
this is my first Citroen but until now I'm very pleased with it, it has a reasonable performance and it's really confortable.

It has just passed 100.000 kms, so it's almost new...

I came from...

Hi all-

Just another noob here, a Yank by way of Aussiefrogs. I've been fooling around with French cars here in California for too many years, now to the point that I work on the US-market Citroen Ds. I might even be useful enough to help with some of the questions for the older stuff. :wink:

Hi all,

just like to say hello, many may know me from the BX forum, got quite a fleet of them. Ime sure this forum will help me as much as the BX one has.
Great to be amongst French car fans, been with BXs since my Dad first bought a MK 1 Estate in 1986 then had a few more.

Hi
Just a thought,i used to have a Vauxhall Astra before i got my Xantia,and was a member of a forum which had a place where you put your Location.(not actual address) and guys that lived near each other could help each other out.It might not kick off on here but i thought it was a good idea.

I will start

I'm new to these forums.

For the last 4 years I have been driving a 156 GTA, which is now to be sold due to the imminent arrival of junior slow. I decided I needed to be much more sensible...so tomorrow I'm off to collect a very tidy series 1 XM, with full leather etc. It has been looked after and covered less than 80k.

My train ticket is...

Ay up!

I'm originally from Yorkshire but live in the West Midlands where there are no bits on yer chips! I'm a part time mechanic / tutor and full time sad old rocker. My transport of delight is a 1993 Citroen Xantia 1.8i LX and I love Fifi :shock: to bits.

I'm about to tidy up the bodywork and interior plus rebuild the brakes. :mrgreen:

Good evening all :-D
I have just purchased a Citroen Picasso 2.0 HDI exclusive 97,000 miles, 2002 reg. :)
My reason for buying this car is i wanted something with a reliable engine, cheaper insurance and tax and better fuel economy than my 2L petrol Mondeo (which was been traded in).
I'm really pleased with my new purchase. The car drives like...

Hi Guys
Just bought a CX - thought you might like to see it.
It's a 1987 CX25 GTi Auto. with 115k on the clock.
It was stored from 1999 - 2010 and so is in pretty good condition. It's done 39 miles since 1999.
The previous owner replaced the 2 drivers side doors and boot lid as they were rotten - now some paintwork needed. The rest of the car is...

Hi there from stourbridge. I own a Pug 305 turbo van which i bought in Portugal 10 years ago, having lived there for most of the last 25 years. Only prob i've had was a timing belt that broke after 15000 miles. I think the guy that fitted it used a cheap chinese one. Mind you every silver lining has a cloud. Replacement engine ,60,000 on the...

Hi,

Picked up my 2004 Citroen C5 2.0 Exclusive yesterday, needs a bit of TLC in a few places but engine spot on.

Hello to all on this Citroën forum, have just registered & signed in...
Looks like there's a lot of interesting stuff out there & will need to get used to finding my way around.

Hi, just joined although I've owned Citroens since 1990. Started with a 1984 CX 2.5GTI, also had a CX DTR Turbo 2, three BXs including a really early DTR Turbo (E542JPB), then a 2.1TD XM followed by four Xantias (2 x 1.9TDs, a 2.1TD and a lovely 2.0HDi 110hp).

I've had all sorts of Citroëns. My first ever car was very nearly an old Light 15 (but ended up with a Renault Dauphine when my father said the Light 15 would not be a suitable first car for a 17-year old!), but over the years have had more Citroëns than all the rest put together. Last two were a ZX, which I changed for my current car, a C5 II. I...

Hi, I'm Dave :)

I drive a rattly, squeaky blue van which is disappearing for the summer

Every car I've insured under my own name, I've had to put together

I have an unhealthy obsession with collecting cars, cut down this year to just 12 under my name =D>

In my spare time I only work on my current collection, somehow...

I don't really do...

:-D Hi, i'm new to owning a French car and am lucky to have a 1998 Xantia CT Activa. These cars are quite rare over here in Australia.

New here so I thought I'd say hi .
We have a 04 Berlingo Multispace that is starting to become a pain and a 58 C1 that is a bit iffy so I may be spending a bit time hanging around here.

Mon histoire de l'automobile Française:

Renault 16 TX
Renault 12 TL (x2)
Renault 12 TS
Citroen 2CV6
Citroen Dyane (x 2)
Renault 4
Renault 5
Renault 4 Van (x2)

hope to soon add Citroen C3 HDi to this list (got one to sell for 2 grand or less?)

Hello,

I must have the Citroen bug back again. After having several Citroen's I part exchanged my C4 1.6 HDi after a major clutch failure for a Honda Insight hybrid. How I am looking at Citroen's again and the new C4. I just have to twist the g/f arm a little on the idea of a Citroen. :lol:

What is it with Citroen's getting under your skin?...

Hello everyone,

Just bought a 54 plate Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI Auto.

Looking forward to join the community and hopefully will be able to put in my 2p :)

Cheers,
