My cousin, Ailsa, has a Blue Headed Parrot named Ziggy. He also is asthmatic, and Ailsa helps him by smearing a little bit of Vaseline by his nostrils (which then traps most dust heading that way). He loves monkey nuts, but if they are dusty he then leaves them in his water container for a few minutes, and that sorts out the dust. He worked that...

I'm nr Shepton-M and have a Lexia if needed....Dont really know how to use it mind :)

That's not a problem Sticky. We can always give some on-line tuition...

Hi welcome to the LED world! ive changed all mine to led's the only ones that cause problems are indicators as the flasher motor needs to see xyz load to work but you can get round that by a ballast resistor thing(they are out there already made)
Flea bay is the place for them but there are a few decent places to buy direct over here but most over...

It's worth it, I love my 2.2 runs like a dream but it does get pampered.

Good luck, hope all works out.
Thanks mate, mine used to run like a dream, but not for long, I like the car, like it a lot but it seems there is so much computerised/technical/ECU/brainsearing complicated stuff on them, it makes liking them bloody hard! I probably bought a...

Just a thought Allan, is it possible for you to try and see if you can open your Boot door with the car locked remotely
My S2 actuator sometimes refused to activate the boot lock and the alarm falsly triggered because the hatch wasnt locked.
common fault apparently with the S 2. the actuators were fairly weak to start with and some people oiled...

Ideally, smaller rollers would work. You might find one brand has finer needles than another - this was certainly the case with 405/Berlingo rear pivot bearings a few years back - SNR made a finer bearing. Can't comment on the Citroëbics idea - other than to say it won't hurt!

I wouldn't advocate fitting grease points except when doing the full...

If it's for your scrap bucket and you have the time, why not!
When I was in ship repair, we used to repair broken ships gangways and I always stashed the bits I cut off and saved them for a couple of months before the trip to the scrappy. A syou say, a nice little bonus. (I won't mention the white metal bearings, the brass and copper pipework or...

...and they are working... Took a few days and now everything settled down...

The damping in the front is quite ok, but in the back not so good. Car drops quite rapidly (only in the back) when it stops.
It also takes quite sometime to raise from low to normal (1-2min), but from normal to high it takes just a few seconds... I have cleaned both...

Thanks for reply Mandrake, you was right 'Hmm very odd'

plugged in today and hey presto connected and I successfully run Lexia. :x :x :-D I had made no alterations in any way :x decided to keep on 7.04 as it works :-D

Found a few errors suspension and Injectors look into those later date, but first I would like to switch off tyre sensors, any...

just wanted to say a massive thanks to you guys on the forum for your information on the c5 throttle cable fix followed your directions on how to access did the job and now she once again eats up audis and bmws well chuffed
thanks again

well when I first start the car the top or bottom back buttons engage the cruise control.. however once I increase speed it stops working completely! ??? Any ideas anybody?

awww no it wasnt a very nice place to live at all thats why I left to go back to pompey
Where my Cavalier was torched by vandals which led to me buying my first Citroen a BX 1.4 petrol.
god it would be worth an absolute fortune now. I saw one on car and classic a couple of days ago for £3,000
it was the only place available council flat wise in...

Already on there under the thread title Citroen indy in Berkshire .

£221 all told, so could have been worse.
I was worried it was a duel mass flywheel problem or antipolution system fault.

Just paid £156 for my wife's new Renault one button plip key fob. £45 was the cost of programming. I was told to steer clear of Genuine Renault keyfob/transponders. Previously I had a new Saab one supplied and programmed for £120.
No idea about Ebay ones for Citroen, sorry.

Or if you fancy a manual this one would be very intersting. onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

Thats a result :-D

Personally I think the PH level is the problem with a cheap matrix. The fluid will become charged only IF there already is corrosion within the system as it is the oxides (particulates) that carry such a charge.
Control the PH--control the oxygen--control the corrosion.

We use a system like this to test the system water after 6 days of service....

Yep, they are charging OK.

seems the rear one in the vid has its regulator stuck in the cut out position, as he cant catch the front van,

although the front one is probably the one with a Rover V8 under the hood :yikes: :dom: :-D :wink:

Problem solved, nut and washer welded on yesterday then fitted new cat, dpf and sensor pipes, taken to garage today codes cleared driven 60 miles and all working normally.

I will try mine again but did discuss the problem some time ago onclick= window.open(this.href);return false; - no problems as such so didn't pursue the problem with the + feed.
I may have to now though, I think I read that some french cars had the + lead missing from the socket so I will need to remove it to see if that is true.
If missing I...

If it's a 58 plate, it surely won't be a manufacturers warranty? If the supplying garage provided a warranty, you need to have a close look at what is covered.

Dealer did a complimentry check over on mine before warranty expired and found the strut leaking too !
It was replaced under warranty.
Would seem its not uncommon :(

Give Phil Hunt a ring, there IS one in my old car sitting in his yard...and it works :)

I would think he will do it by cheque if you are not local....He is a trustworthy guys so you deal with him with confidence.
He IS not a fan of the Tinternet (old school) and he is NOT a scrap yard so approach...

It was not for the windscreen, it is the high-pressure washer jet, which is a different part. I tried the aftermarket route and none were available :(

Cheers Andy, we'll take it to an independent loaded with all information.

As my Aircon was broken.....well now I know :) Ta

Thanks guys,

Clearly a case of suck'n see. Will post results when I have them. The ref to the Xant ad with C5 wheels is inspiring; and I can use a power drill! Hopefully no such surgery will be needed, but I've got to work out this offset business...

The first thing to do is to check the Park solenoid mechanism is not fouling the lever returning to Park.

It will stop you pulling the lever out of Park unless the brake pedal is pressed but should never stop the lever returning to Park. Check by lifting the cover over the selector lever and checking the mechanical operation of the mechanism.

If...

I wonder why the belt's in that condition. Could have been damaged during original fitting maybe?

Could be the tensioner has failed and is exerting uneven pressure on the belt. Easiest way to check the tensioner is to eye it and check it is sitting properly parallel to the belt run and not cocked off at an angle. It'll be easy to see.

If it is...

There's one in Langport called Westover Garage and is located down in the dark depths of the Westover Trading Estate on the Taunton side of town on the site of the old West Railway Station.

They have no website but can be reached on 01458 252252 and their postcode is TA10 9NZ

I have no experience of them but know they specialise in older...

I would agree with Richard, I have had several similar problems over the years and the only practical solution is to run a separate lead, sometimes using a relay if its a headlight failure for instance.

Have a look at onclick= window.open(this.href);return false; or onclick= window.open(this.href);return false; the RD4 unit was fitted on the C4, C5, and some C6 here's a link to the C6 technical section, although you will have to join the site onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

=D> thanks BX.

Thanks Jim, that's what I wanted to hear. :)

I have in the past had my own spheres regassed but have had some failures, that was in the CX days when new ones were very expensive but I have had very few failures with new GSF spheres.

Peter

They are W5W bulbs. I think the Xantias also use them for the side lights.

heard of him but were is he thanks for replies

Here :)

Im under the impression that HDi 90 and HDi 110 turbos are different. The outlet is in a different place and the HDi 90 uses an internal release pressure controlled wastegate, where the 110 turbos use a Vaccuum controlled by ECU via an electrovalve turbo, which defaults to WIDE OPEN waste gate if no vaccuum is applied to the wastegate end..

hi guys just a wee word to the wise if you are going to fit a alarm you will have to switch off the indicators as they are controlled by the cars security system if you don't it will affect the alarm your fitting ok
cheers arch 8-[

all sorted, thanks for the tips guys.
