Hi

A forum for new members to introduce themselves to the rabble already onboard. Not compulsory!
Tell us a little about yourself, lie if you have to but keep it to just an introduction, not a car discussion.

Hi

Post by Bandit12 »

Hi, Thought I would introduce myself as this is my first post and my first ever Citroen, usually went for Fraud Mundeos but I'm very impressed with the car and also the website.
Been looking at a few threads for guidance as heard a few horror stories about Citroens having great engines but unreliable electrics but defo no complaints and very happy.

Are you sure you don't mean dodgy blokes standing next to Alfa Romeos, scratching their heads?

Welcome to the forum. Have fun.

Citroens don't have unreliable electronics. You can rely on them doing something (even if it is just winding you up!).

Haha yes that sounds more like it.

Many thanks for the warm welcome guys and if I do get wound up by my new toy then I'll may have to ask for a little help to explain the subtleties of french electonics.
