So i got quoted from garage £740 for two new read disks and pads? With a couple of other small things on top (headlight brackets need repaired as they've snapped) and bulbs renewed.

Was also told they can't guarantee the calipers due to possible breaking. Which I know about but these have been replaced before so wouldnt expect it.

But does £740...

Hi guys,

I need ideas, and i saw other similar topics, but no solutions. So the thing is that i was changing the bulb in sun shader (ceiling mirrors) and as bulbs are small i was using pincers and got a short cirtuit.
After this, starting a car caused many faults:

1. Under inflation monitoring fault
2. Power Steering faulty
3. ESP / ASR system...

Just had a weird occurrence. I was coming to the end of a 30 mile round trip, when suddenly, without warning, the touch screen and dash/heads up display, all went off. It didn’t affect the driving. It all booted up again after a few seconds. But not instant pop, and all back on. It was a proper boot up. Possibly slower than when I start the car...

Hi all

Does anyone know what the correct torque settings are for the inner bolts that secure the front lower suspension arm on a C5 X7?
(bolts 1, 2 and 3 on the official guide here )
Unfortunately that info seems to be missing in the instructions - perhaps a forum admin could add them to that topic also?

Thanks

How often should the fuel filter be changed on a diesel? Mine was last changed Oct 17 so it's ok, just wondering.

I was just watching a video on youtube, they were working on a 2007 C4, saying that you should regularly (they did not say how regular) drain and bleed the fuel filter as it could be contaminated at the bottom with water from...

Hi Lads I ran a diagnostic on the car because she smells fuelly, yes it's the C5 that has all the problems but I bought it thinking it had an injector problem. Can anyone tell me what the us stands for. To me none of the injectors look right numbers wise but I am hopeful if being corrected. No fault codes apart from the glow plug fault but we know...

I'm just back from offshore, and the Citroen is lying slammed down at the workshop looking like something out of 'Stanced Nation'. It's not a break of containment in the hydraulics, as it still has all its LDS.
