The X7 one works for quite some time - runs off the battery - until your battery becomes discharged, which mine did over the 20 miles back running everything else - still at least it's better than having no assistance at all on a car this size or it would be a struggle.

Hi all, my c5 has recently been making noises as if it’s low on fluid. Having had this issue with another c5 i thought it was just low fluid level in the hydraulics. But I checked today and the levels are fine.

Last post

I would initially suspect the hydraulic pump. I've ruled out the rear height corrector as if that was playing up it would likely be giving the wrong height data regardless of load.

The pumps can suffer from LDS fluid creeping into the BHI and this can cause a lot of of crud to build up near the bushes leaving an oily mess and causing the pump to...

Last post

Yes, you squeeze them and they should come off pretty easily.
They're made of hard, brittle plastic, so you need to apply both forces(squeeze and pull) in the same place, or risk breaking them.
Given you almost certainly won't be able to get the hose off the plastic connector, it might be better to consider making your connections elsewhere.

I’ve got a 2011, 1.3hdi, Nemo that I’ve owned for the last two months. I changed the oil and filters when I got it and I’ve done about 2,500 trouble free miles since.
Yesterday the red oil can symbol started flashing and the warning is displayed, “Change Engine Oil”. Research has led me to believe that there are two parameters I must reset, the...

Be aware that if you are going to be buying a Lexia diagnostic kit for the Nemo, you will need to also purchase the S1279 module which is required for the Nemo as it is a joint venture with Fiat and a Turkish ( :shock: ) firm Tofas.

I have a starting problem with my C5 2007 2.0 HDI facelift hatchback which occurred today for the first time. I have tried searching the forum for help but have as yet not been successful.

Never bought anything directly from Andrew Page but that was the only thing they failed on, consistently.
Eventually I kept the label from the correct one and entered the part number into a spreadsheet and emailed that to the car parts place - sadly closed now.

If you are mechanically competent (and have the right tools) it is possible to overhaul a automatic gearbox, and give it another ten years (or 150,000 miles) of life.

So finally changed the fuel pump for a brand new one that I bought may 2017! Been driving around with a leak from the air vent, running into a bottle, for all that time. Oops.

She runs lovely now. No fuel leaks! Wup wup!

But of course...

Hi, The suggestion that a cable break is responsible is almost certainly correct.

If you bought a replacement, you just need to unclip the black plug from the amber lighting plastic and replace with the new parts.
