by RussellF97 » 28 Jun 2012, 11:52

First post

Hi All,

After a year or so of my ZX (1995 1.9D, 139,500) getting more and more asthmatic, to the point where it was getting embarrassing on steep hills, I finally had the injectors serviced. Woo-hoo...! What a difference. It now starts easier, it doesn't puff out clouds of blue smoke when starting, it's got rid of the annoying chugging at idle...

Last post

Peter.N.: Unfortunately it's not just a slight slipping. It now gets embarrassing on hills for an entirely different reason!
The new clutch is on order from eBay and I'll be getting the gearbox out over the weekend for when it arrives. What fun. 8-)

C5 bumper replacement (Mk3 2009)

by whatdoesthisbuttondo » 26 Jun 2012, 10:08

First post

I've managed to scrape the NSFront side bumper just in front of the wheel arch whilst turning a corner, and its lost a bit of its 'Gallic flair'.
Does anyone know if the 'chrome' inserts on the bumper can be replaced or is it one big bumper piece? The plastic drirectly below the trim is scratched as well, can it be filled and painted?
Thanks!

Last post

Thanks very much Gents!
I live in Leeds, Norfolks a bit too far for me!!.....
I dont fancy my cack handed results so I think Ill get a quote to fill it and paint it. As for the chrome bumper edge, Ive seen them on different sites, all around the £38 mark.

Okay so left indicator okay. The right decided to double speed. Someone said it could be to do with bulbs. I did have YET ANOTHER bulb go but I just changed it and it's still having a blinkin fit (see what I did there ;).

Is there a setting maybe. I know some european cars have this speed of blinkin but really it is really getting on my nerves.

Appreciate anybody in the know helping me out,

They are 4 stud, i have a 5 stud pattern. (have since found out its a 5 x 108 PCD with offset of 35-50)

No you wont, it will certainly be 4 stud on a C5I or C5II. C5IIIs are 5 stud.

Sticking with manufacturer wheels, wheels from 406s and 307s will fit fine. Though the offset on 307 wheels sees a bit different, having seen a C5 with them....

Best suggestion on glowplugs I've read here is cutting a notch out of the ring end of the
electrical ribbon so that it can be fed onto the last inaccessible plug whilst the washer
and nut are already on the top of the fitted glowplug.

C5 3.0 HDI 0-60 after remap

by telboy5 » 21 Jun 2012, 22:07

First post

So, my 2010 C5 tourer 3.0 HDI is now closing in on 50k miles and has been running with the new remap for over 6 months.

300 bhp and 460 flbt,... :twisted:

Decided to try a few 0-60 dashes although unfortunately where I live, the decent straights are up hill which is annoying, however happy to post 0-60 of 6 secs over 3 runs with esp off with...

I thought my car was fast when I bought a 2.2 auto which hits 60 in 9.2
I like stealth cars that look normal and slow, but accelerate really fast.
You must really annoy the BMW drivers

Hi, My MOT tester tells me that the Airbag Light is now part of the test and typically!, I have an Airbag Light issue and have had it now for the last 6 months but not had time to look at it except for a quick butchers under the passenger footwell to check the plugs (thanks to the info on this forum!) but could not see any problem. I did pull the...

Last post

At the moment the Airbag light is still an advisory, it was meant to be a fail starting April, but the government have put that back. No idea when it will become a fail though.

2010 C5 3.0 HDI tourer 48k update

by telboy5 » 06 Jun 2012, 20:19

First post

Hi all,

Well I have passed the 48k mile mark in my 2010 C5 Tourer 3.0 HDI and thought I'd update you all on a few things, all good by the way :-D

Build quality is still top notch, no rattles or annoying noises, well pleased with this and betters anything I've had from VW Group, BMW, Volvo and Mercedes.

Reliability, still very good, 1 recall...

Last post

They're called Adriatic, but I thought they came in a metallic charcoal powdercoat with metal highlights. Biggest wheel in the current C5 factory range.

Yep, you're right, you can either get them with the grey inserts or the black like I've got now. Either way they look the nuts but are a bugger to clean :(

C5 Clutch Pedal

by reblack68 » 21 Jun 2012, 07:43

2001 1.8LX with BE4 gearbox.

I got my C5 cheap because it was needing a new gear cable. The previous owner said it had been hard to get into gear for a while, although it seemed fine to me once I'd changed the cable.

Last weekend (just as I was about to go on a long journey of course) I saw what he meant, the clutch pedal lost most of its...
