So...lets have a competition as to what advice you get for 99p. Seller say 4 household tools. Assuming he doesn't count a monster chain wrench as a household item, then I reckon he'll show us.....piece of old bicycle inner tube, big jubilee clip, hammer, and some kind of drift!!

Remember....4 items only......and he's done 'much research and testing' so probably knows things we dont!

Maybe he is selling a link to this very forum for 99p

4 tools. Yes, that'll be right enough. 12mm spanner, strap wrench, axle stands and a mobile phone.

The mobile phone is needed to either call your local Citroen specialist or 999 when it all goes horribly wrong

Other than a pair of ramps I only remember using two tools for mine- a comedy sized set of water pump pliers and a 9mm spanner. I suppose a pair of ramps makes it four.

cant remember without checking (and cant be bothered) but (without wishing to be to pedantic) isnt the bolt you undo to depressurize the system a different size to the high pressure feed at the back......if uou are using a strap wrench you must be using a ratchet as well and wouldnt you chock the front wheels with an old brick (does that count as a tool)

I stand corrected, I used a 12mm spanner too. No strap wrench though, just the pliers. They are big.

do you use the brick? ........and would it count a tool?

I can't remember now.

I'm going to have to pay 99p to find out what he says.

maybe we could all club together and buy it......

or better still we could write the 'how to change a heater matrix with only five tools or household items manual'..........

Just to be nosy I looked through his ratings. He sells a lot of info: sphere changing, plip coding, Win XP keys, beat speeding tickets(!). All of this is, no doubt, collected from the Internet (for FREE) in one form or another. As he has 1681 feedbacks (in this guise), it means he has made in the order of £1664.19 - less a few refunds if he's a really good bloke!

A bit of a con maybe, but (as has already been said) 99p is cheap for good info and it saves you searching for it yourself. What a good idea!
