When looking for parts on Citroen Service? Do I assume unavailable?

In terms of computers - Computer Aided Design. Thats as much as I know

No, the word for unavailable is NFP - No Further Production.

No idea what CAD means in this context...

Ive just spent the last few weeks shouting and swearing at the computer while trying to train myself to use AutoCAD (well, lectureres are useless!) I never want to hear the word CAD again!

Thankfully after staying up into the small hours this morning because it all went wrong and wouldnt show my work on the layout tab, ive just been up to uni to hand in my coursework.

Anyway .... Im not sure what CAD would mean on the citroen service site

Are they common or obscure items, older or newer model?

I'd suspect it refers to some additional costs for freight, or a time delay in supplying with future price not yet fixed.

The parts in question are hydraulic pipes, nothing unusual on a Citroen I would have thought

Well I solved the mystery CAD means Canadian Dollars

CAD is an industry acronym for the expected reaction of the customer when informed of the price of a replacement item or spare part by the main stealer - Cough And Drop
