As the seat is almost right forward, the end of the release bar is obscuring the front mounting bolts. Any one got...

Got it back together - there is something wrong with the bolt on the bottom of the seat belt with the pre-tensioner, as I can't undo it - might be stripped or something inside. Anyway, you can put the seat back together in the car, then bolt it down OK. There belt is supposed to clip into this fitting, but I couldn't work out how to release it.

Just a thought. Is your car showing the correct outside temperature? If it isn't, then the A/C ECU cannot compensate for this, and the A/C doesn't work.

Wouldn't the best tool have to be a Diagbox (computer/notebook) with the OBD2 connection to the car?

There's lots of pattern ones out there for about £20 e@ or less, quality unknown, Genuine ones are about £35 from Citroen. The genuine ones may well have alignment marks on. As Sparksie has said, the alignment is critical, any bush wont last long if it's positioned badly.

Hi

Slightly confused about this, my Xant TD is going for its first MOT since I decatted it last May after the pipe failed just fore of the cat. I fitted a straight through pipe and the car runs better with good torque and better mpg.

The rules changed in Feb 2014 and the MoT manual ( ) now states:

The key bit of that statmenet though is 'spark...

The spheres can be tested to see if they are still at the required pressure. You need someone with a sphere tester and the spheres will need to be removed from the car.

Can anyone help me out here. I need to replace the alternator on a 05 1.9 C15. I have managed to unbolt it but not too sure of how to get it out. I think if I remove the oil filter I should be able to move it across and drop down, but Im reluctant to take the oil filter off. Is there another way that I am just not seeing?

Thanks

i have not had to remove an alternator from a C15 presumably with the DW8 going by the year,

but if you think it will drop out from below with the oil filter removed, thats what i would do, its easy enough to unscrew the oil filter,

Does anyone know if VTR models of the C5 are like the SX and Exclusice and are already prepared for electric seats for the front and just have the plugs sat under the carpet?

I guess this applies to the mk2/facelift C5 as that's about when VTR trim level came in.
