You're very adventurous (is this the correct adjective) or brave :)

Can someone tell me where I could get a rear winscreen wiper for my c5?

What type etc.

Parking sensors aint working neither and I noticed the belt in the engine. It has no cover. Is totally open. I assume this is normal.

See muppet pannicky posts ; )

I have always gotten my C5 wipers from Citroen as I like the genuine fit ones rather than the aftermarket styles. However, try and find a genuine rear wiper on ebay which comes in a Citroen branded box. Be careful to get the wiper for the rear of a facelifted C5 rather than an earlier shape C5 (fitted to VTR mark 1 C5 hatch) as they are very different.

If this is your aux drive belt then yes, that is normal. However if you mean the cambelt/timing belt is not covered, that is not normal and a cover should be found for it quickly.

It's a long belt with grooves lengthwise. Just thought it strange to leave such a long belt open. Fingers and all that.

How easy to fix parking sensors?

If you can't get to a dealer then there are a variety on eBay. Measure the one fitted and try and match it.

Need a button thingie for front adjustment of passenger's seat.

Need a bit of interior cover for the tailgate to cover the wires.

Other than dealer not sure where to get these. Doubt the scrappy will have it.

The parking sensors aint working and I read in the other thread that the sensors could have been disconnected when towbar was fitted. Never thought about that. This has a towbar with twin electrics. So guess that may be a culprit. Would like sensors as I have always had trouble parking rearwards as I can't see or judge.

I’ve just bought an 07 C5 Exclusive with a towbar. (Genuine Citroen fitment). According to the handbook the towbar doesn’t affect the reversing sensors and they automatically detect when a trailer is being towed. It could be that your towbar electrics are non Citroen and the sensors are disabled.
