Hello, I bought a used car from a private person on Monday, registered it on Tuesday and got new tires the following day because the old summer tires were expired. Unfortunately, since the car was deregistered, there was only one test drive around the corner possible, where it was parked. The journey to the ATU to buy tires was 2x1.5km.

Thinking that this model was designed over 10 years ago and how the reversing camera image is quite poor in the dark I’m wondering if it’s possible to replace the camera with a newer one with an updated sensor that will be more sensitive in low light conditions.
After market cameras tend to have RCA/phono plugs and I’m wondering what connection is...

HI,
I purchased a c3 from a used car dealer a little over a month ago and now suspect that it had underlying wiring fault(s), as within just 2 days of ownership the airbag and seatbelt tensioner lights appeared, I had noticed that a few connector blocks under the glovebox were hanging down (maybe someone had been trying to resolve an issue?), I...

Hey,
I have a Citroen Jumper 2011. It has around 125k on the mileage.

Trouble is I can't find a replacement apart from buying a complete...

Hi, my Xsara Picasso 1.6 HDi (110 bhp) has a slightly leaking eoyls tank.

I have been told I really need a new...

Hi all!

Old car, new issues. :mrgreen:
I have had this problem for almost a year and finally have decided to try and resolve it.

When I start the car and start moving, at exactly 20km/h there is some clunky noise, like something slipped into place, coming from the gearbox side. I can even feel a little shake on the pedals when that happens.
