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

I'll have to have a look, the scuttle drains were fairly silted up (now cleared out) when I had the arch liners out during the clutch change.Huskyxantia wrote: 07 Sep 2026, 21:02 Ive known someone who had problems with similar and when he checked the internal fuse box water was getting in

Logged in twice to post this, when I had my c3 Picasso i kept hearing a sloshing water noise I then took the wiper scuttle off and saw 2 fish ponds due to the drain holes been so blocked up , and they were just staring the make there way into soaking the car foot wells , one was directly above the fuse box and heater ducts.

My 307 started working yesterday afternoon. Well, it started giving me some sounds. And it connected to a radio in-car transmitter ‘thingy’ that itself connects to a Bluetooth device which allows you to stream your device. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.MattBLancs wrote: 07 Sep 2026, 18:25 Hmmm, the red 308 has given me the silent treatment again today!
I don’t know if what I did made it work or if it decided that it was time to start working again or what happened. I pressed and held the source button on the end of the audio control stalk. I’m not sure how long I held it in, but I didn’t think I was going to break anything by holding it that long. And suddenly the CD that was in the unit began playing!
I pressed the source button again and it went to the radio. It began making noises that were supposed to be music, but were anything but … . (I might be getting old). I played with the preset buttons because I know that I had set one of those as the frequency to connect to the plug in ‘thingy’, and I connected my iPad to the ‘thingy’ via Bluetooth and suddenly I was streaming my iPad to the car audio system! Yippee!
But like I said, I don’t know if it was that I pressed and held the source button, or if it just decided to work, or what, but it now works as well as it could.
I still can’t pair it directly to my devices, but even that seems a bit closer than before.
I tried posting an update on my previous thread about some progress, and I asked for some feedback, but there was no response. Should I start a new thread with this new information, or what do people suggest I do? I’m still a beginner on this forum, so I don’t really know what the expectations are. Please let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Andrew

My 308 now and again will throw up only during diagnostic session that the cd changer isn't communicating with the head unit , funny that as it hasn't got a changer and never did .
