I've used them a couple of times, most recently for a pair of XM rear ram gaiters.
Not cheap, but the only source found for new ones.

The Search box will accept original part numbers, so no need to go ploughing through the long, illustrated lists. Some good stuff there, genuine and new!

The rear bumper has to come off to get to the wiring as it's built into the bumper not the tailgate. Also the rear undershield deflectors to get to the securing bolts of the bumper.

It depends on the variant as to which ones had a spare wheel. The ones that did had a spare wheel carrier mechanism that when operated, released the spare wheel from the housing.

The Hybrid models certainly didn’t have a spare wheel carrier, nor did some other models, instead having the boot storage box fitted and the tyre repair kit.

DS7 towbar

by Silvershark » 18 Apr 2019, 19:24

First post

Hi Everyone. I received my new DS7 on Monday
I ordered a factory fitted towbar as an optional extra. It wasn't easy trying to find any information on this prior to ordering and even just to find out if it was detachable was difficult enough. Even the dealers were struggling to confirm or find info on it. Anyway it was confirmed as detachable,...

Last post

There is definitely no switch fitted to the towbar. It appears mine is not fully automatic and that is what the handle is for under the number to the left of the towbar. It still will not release the towbar so garage it is for sure

OBD not working

by Badboybriands5 » 04 Dec 2018, 23:16

First post

I am looking for a fuse for the OBD socket as I have no power at the OBD. It was working fine a few months ago, but I recently had to plug in diagnostics and found I have no power. I have a DS5 2014. Can anyone help with the location of the correct fuse so I can check it, or has anyone else had the same problem.Thanks.

Last post

Fuse 2 I think in the BSI Module. Your owners manual should list it.

DS7 Crossback owners question. Exhaust trim.

by DS7Crossback » 29 Mar 2019, 22:56

First post

Hi everyone. New user here!

I am considering the DS7 for my next car. I’ve notices some have chrome fake exhaust trim and some have black plastic. From research it seems the petrol models have chrome while diesel just have black plastic. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? If so is it possible to spec the diesel with chrome as it’s a diesel...

Last post

Thanks for the quick reply. From what I can gather while speccing a car is the two smaller engines have black plastic while the two larger have chrome. Regardless of which trim level is selected. Which is a shame as I wanted Prestige but also wanted the smaller 1.5 Diesel engine.

Problem solved. It turns out that after the specialist used diagnostics, the fault was a wheel speed sensor. They are part of the bearing so the whole unit had to be changed. All working OK now.

DS4 What exhaust is this?

by Hexagon » 07 Jan 2019, 16:55

First post

So I've just bought this DS4 and it seems to have a rather odd exhaust pipe... Is this some sort of upgrade? I've looked online at others for sale and can't find any with a visible exhaust pipe.

The car is a 1.6 HDI 110.

Thanks for any help

Last post

Ok, sorry.
Was not lol-ing AT you. Rather thought I was WITH you, but hey-ho.
Pretty sure the standard exhaust should be hidden behind the bumper, with a down turn at the end to deflect gasses downwards, away from the plastic. If I'm right, the exhaust you currently have is hanging BELOW the bumper and is therefore significantly lower than it...

That's feasible, Simon. I've got a gauge here if you want to pop round sometime and we can stick it on and see what it says.
