Not being able to bypass the immobiliser, the length of time it took for the suspension to rise. It always settled a bit and took about 30 seconds from starting it untill the stop lights went off and it could be driven. The fuel consumption.
I can understand all of that Davie, especially the fuel consumption
The fuel consumption can be OK if driven a little conservatively - I have had 39mpg out of one and regularly I could see 35mpg...
But then, you all know how I drive
I understand entirely about the clutch going too. And the length of time it took to fix

I never quite have the same love/trust if a car of mine ever lets me down and has to come home on a flat-bed... Silly I know but it happened with my last Xantia V6...
It's been a case of two (or three) steps forward and one step backwards on the Activa today...
Found the replacement CV boot is the wrong one - there's two choices as per typical Citroen - and the other side wheel bearing is not perfect. I'm going to have to replace it despite last changing it maybe two years ago.
I'd may as well whilst all is in bits... It would be niggling if all went back together and it proved to be noisy...
I know it was changed relatively recently as the circlip came out easily and did not need a cold chisel and club-hammer
Here's the split in the CV boot. It's tiny...

- Split Boot - Own Work
The correct boot is now on order... I discover the wrong CV boot I bought is for a Saxo so it'll be useful one day! Or maybe I've seen into the future and the Saxo is going to need a boot for its next MOT! Funnier things have happened to me...
I also have a wheel bearing on order...
Off out now to play with the hydraulic press again

I enjoy pressing things...
