Forum server settings changed

This has had the desired effect of reducing the server loading from 100% to about 10% (the other 90% was coming from just 8 IP addresses located in China).

If you own a 2008 onwards C5, then sooner or later the window winder / regulator mechanism will break and need to be replaced. Normally the cables in the mechanism rust through and prevent the window from opening or closing. As a short term fix, it should be possible to lift the glass by hand and tape it into the closed position.

Thanks for this guide, saved me a lot of time figuring it out!

Might be worth adding that it's a good idea when attaching the glass screws, to not tighten then fully up straight away.

C5 LEXIA

by exasperated » 11 Jun 2016, 08:04

First post

Hello All, I have finally got my C5 going but only after taking it to the Citroen agent. They identified it as a lack of power to the fuel pump caused by a fault in the main fuse box. This required a new fuse box, all is now well except my pride and wallet!

Xantia hdi 110 engine mount

by trapa57 » 09 Apr 2016, 19:20

First post

Evening All, my 99 Xantia saloon has succumbed to the failed upper engine mount bush/torque arm bush, part no 1839 46. As I suspect most of you already know, this results in the bush disintegrating in the triangular mount. The alloy mount with bush is still available from Citroen, but as I am a tight so and so I would like to replace the bush as...

Last post

If you can measure it put up the details I have a box with a dozen or so of that type of bush in various sizes..........you never know :)
