No rain then?!!

No its been very dry over here at times and the drought in NSW is continuing with government water resrictions in place.
I was more interested to know of any C3 faults and issues however though. There must be lots of C3 in UK id imagine. What experiences have people had with their cars?

Well there was/is a stalling problem with petrol c3's that made the TV and water leaks from plurials from where the detacable arches fit on to the windscreen, that made the TV too. We like to moan a lot over here! Rattles from the roofs and steering wheels. Thats all i can remember at the moment!

Food, wine, the price of diesel, the auchan hypermarket, the tour-de-france, the countryside..........not the football however[}:)]ha,ha,ha,!!
Back to the question, the main problem with the C3 appears to be not so much the cars, but the UK dealer networks attitude towards them and their owners.
The C3 has featured a lot in TV consumer shows here, because Citroen seem to refuse to admit that there is anything wrong with the cars, rather than say "yes, there does appear to be a problem, lets try and sort it"
Some owners have returned their cars 9 or 10 times because of stalling problems, and the Pluriels leaks, with no joy, and no help from Citroen.

What's good about France?
The people, a government that obeys the wishes of the people, the price of houses, the food, the weather, the trains, the beaches, the wine, the scenery, etc. etc.

Would you want to live there? Could you put up with the bureaucracy?

Right now I am in the process of buying some land- I have had to send the council four identical planning applications for change of use- photocopies are not accepted!!!!!
France can't be more beauracratic than that, surely!!!!!
It is very tempting to go and live there, but I am a bit set in my ways now, and marmite and decent is hard to get there!!!

Ibiza is not a country! It is a Spanish Island full of lager louts from the UK
