Side note (after a brief dalliance looking at them yesterday afternoon)
First generation Citroen DS4 = 5 door but the rear passenger windows are completely fixed!?! Not even half baked "pop out" type (see, say Skoda Citigo 5 door), but completely fixed glass!

So, going to get some Wynn's Crystal Clear and Protect (anti crystallisation stuff) into the new car's Adblue system.
As per:
viewtopic.php?p=859869&hilit=Wynns#p859869
17 litre car tank.
500ml/45 litres x17 = 189ml.
As I've already treated my new bottle of Adblue, this will be a slight overdose of the stuff, but am sure it'll be fine
Error, what error!?!

Or, it seems more like 75ml will have to do for now! That's my Wynn's bottle empty!

It does kick me out fairly regularly. I've noticed moving inside (on WiFi) to outside (4G) seems one of the things that triggers it out. Dies on other occasions too.Huskyxantia wrote: Today, 19:45 Anyone else having issues with the site 3 times now ive been kicked out and had to re log back in

Ha ha, yes the perceptions of Adblue being "just chicken p**s" are hardly dispelled by the Wynn's stuff being err, a similar colour.Huskyxantia wrote: Today, 19:37Ok , you sure that's wynns ?MattBLancs wrote: Today, 19:35 Or, it seems more like 75ml will have to do for now!

Though speaking of odd colours!! Ice topped the tank up with additive then fresh Adblue (pretty much colourless) this is a surprise: A VERY red tinge to the tank contents!?!?!

Clutch on that milage is pretty good , something you've already tackled before though

Yes, a clutch change should be doable for me. Just pricing them up.
White piece of paper dipped into the adblue tank contents: Very red!
Real sinking feeling that I know what is this colour
This deposit/ megs crystal goes not fill me with confidence in the Wynns stuff!
Quick interior shots These red additions will go - don't hate them completely, but they are a bit slap dash applied which does catch my eye

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.
