Seems okay for the age, MOT as well. Thought it was worth pl ugging until i noticed the tape over the stop light!
Anyone else seen people selling stuff like this that just makes you shake your head?

Re: dodgy ebay finds
Also looks as though there is an extra bit for the temp gauge warning light as well.

Just did. I'll let you know if i get a reply!citronut wrote:send the seller a question asking why the tape is there
Would just be crap if someone were to buy it and then slag citroens off when the suspension and brakes go if theres a problem but the lights covered up!

Also asked if it's had a timing belt in his ownership.
It's not worth more than £300 anyway. Big miles, no AC etc, obvious fault with the warning lights covered. Possibly £250-300 or so for a timing belt kit fitted.

Re: dodgy ebay finds
I have a response
New message from: bramer1899 (333)
Hi. Thanks for your interest.
Funny thing was the light did used to come on and has been checked by Citroen specialist ( one of the top guys in the citroen club so there isn't much he doesn't know) and the hydraulics are absolutely fine and work well . The issue was with the sensor which I didn't bother with hence the tape. Although I've noted ( or shall I say my passenger has) the light doesn't come on now.
So in summary not an issue with the hydraulics .
Hope that answers your question.
Regards
So, seems like someone got sick of passengers seeing the huge stop light

Re: dodgy ebay finds
I received the exact same message, with "and it's not had a timing belt in my ownership" on the end of it..
So, £300 at the very very most...
