Fault codes read, print screened and cleared, short drive at dinner time and not returned as yet. Loads of them on various topics! Something to do with turbo boost seemed most likely (linked to remapped car and foot down hard is my theory)

Will get them on here at some point but need to transfer from the diagnostic laptop to phone (Bluetooth is most convenient route) so will take a while.

C5 did a long run yesterday to Harrogate (Woodworking and Power Tool Show - enjoyable day out with my dad and my eldest son) in no rush, so cruse control at 62 mph when on actually flowing bits if motorway. Such a lovely wafter, so quiet too, despite grumbling alternator.

Coupe seems fine at present, though the mirror has suddenly handed it's notice in

The magic juice is escaping!

marked up version for clarity, a tide mark as per red line

Is that one of those like mine in the Picasso that automatically dim when it sees bright headlights through the rear window?

I love mine for doing that

[c16rkc]

Seems so off how they just suddenly do that.

I hope you can find a replacement for not too much money...

Yes, it's that type. "Photochromatic" for some reason is in my head.


The (5W) bulbs have arrived today. I do not understand why they have been packed like this:

In a jiffy bag, but removed from the box in a clear plastic bag (flattened box was included, perhaps incase I have a desire to actually store them in a more logical way than how they came through the post!!)

Amazingly they are intact (glass and filament looks ok) but think down to good luck more than anything!

[MattBLancs]

Ah, cheaper postage if thinner parcel perhaps??

[c16rkc]

Wow as you say, very lucky they were not crushed...

Appreciate just looks like a grubby driveway, but

Green square is roughly where the C5 normally parked and pretty sure the splodge in the red circle is new. Always nose out and that's about rear suspension position.

Very quick squint with torch this morning, one pipe does look a little damp/oily from what I can view.

Job for tomorrow, up in the air and see what I need to do.

I'm very sad to see that.... these C5's are very naughty beasts!

Very much the same position as my first LDS leak on the X7.

Thanks for the link, I remember reading that (and seems had replied too!) That is what I am hoping for, really. Something on the low pressure side and ideally a rubber rather than steel hard pipe failure, fingers crossed!

[MattBLancs]

Gibberish from the rubber pipe:
Spbt 07277 00:23 125 CZ 155

It does look as though I may have a leak from one or both and of the rubber (low pressure return?) pipework as per Paul-R

Pictures shortly
