Another Queenslander

Hello All!
I presently live in Mackay North Queensland Australia although I'm moving further south soon.
In 2001/02 I lived in Bath for a couple of years where I had a diesel Citroen wagon. I think it was a Xantia 1.9 diesel with spring suspension. At that time diesel passenger cars were almost unheard of in Australia and it was such a good car I wished I could take it home with me.
Fast forward to the present and and I've just bought a 2006 C5 Estate 2.2 HDI 4 speed auto with 85K on the clock. It's a lovely car but did have a ECU fault which became apparent on the first day. As it was from a dealer it is covered by a statutory warranty so it's in being diagnosed and repaired at the moment. Unfortunately the nearest dealer is 400km away so I have to leave it there and catch the bus home. They have diagnosed problems with the EGR and turbo so not sure what's going on yet.
I've joined the aussiefrogs forum but will also post here as the total number of Citroen owners is so much greater in the UK.
Regards
Justin
