if you have any concern about the spheres GSF have suplied just phone them up and ask them,as they have a lot of knoledge on this subject,the main diferantses are whether you have a standerd system or activ/activa,and on the rear as above and if its an eastate or saloon

Having just had a nightmare fitting new front spheres I read a thread that points out the mistakes suppliers make in selling you the wrong speheres for your make and model.
The box that my new spheres came in (from GSF) says Citroen 2.0i yet the sales receipt says 1.9td as well as several other makes.
How do I check I have the correct ones?

I think they work by measuring the conductivity of the oil, lots of short runs will get the oil dirtier than long ones, so it might get to the service point quicker than just looking at mileage, my wifes ZX only does 3000 per year but still needs its oil/filter changing twice as it works its oil very hard.

Hello everyone,
My Xsara year 04 has a problem with it's servicing trip milleage indicator which does not decrease at the same pace with the trip milleage indicator.
Thus it indicates me on the dash board that the car has to go through a servicing when I have 4000 km more to run before going to the servicing!
Does anyone have an idea about that.

Its quite likely to be a damaged handbrake cable, these work on the front wheels and are bent when the steering is turned, the outer cable can snap and cause the brake to become ineffective, whip the front wheels off and look at the cables, the are quite easy to replace and not expensive.

If its overheating when you are traveling at a reasonable speed the fans make little difference, the most likely problem is a partially blocked/furred up radiator.
