I could do with some help fixing my heater if i havent got it sorted by then...anyone fancy helping me when i got there?

Looking forward to meeting you vince, I won't be much help with the heater though but I could always pass the tools to DickieG and look after the toolbox

Thanks guys,

Richard im not sure as i have never had any reason to find the socket

I will have a look tonight and let you know. I would have thought that all series 1 cars would have the same diag socket?

I must say i am very much looking forward to the meet

i am going to try everything under the sun to get out of working that saturday. I so badly wanted to make the DS convoy 8)

Hi guys, appologies in advance, unfortunatly i'm not goin to be able to attend this weekend

(as i have been looking foward to this since it was annouced ) .............
This is due to longer than expected unemployment ( nearly 12 weeks ), consequently finances have taken a severe battering , as , according to DWP i'm not entitled to any help because of being long term self-employed, so i've been using all my overdrafts to get by , therfore i need to re-structure remaining finances and put the last of my money aside for more immidiate issues E.G. food and derv for the Xant !

..
Hopefully things will pick up and i'll be able to attend some meetings later in the year, or next years meetings ........
Was looking foward to seeing the V6 Jim

, but hey-ho there you go !!...................

Cheers Paul........................

Hope it all goes well at the show this weekend and the weather holds up

Some of us that cant make it will still be getting up close and personal with various Citroens

Well work today was a total disaster and therefore I need to sort it all out tomorrow. Regrettably this means I shall not be attending tomorrow. It's a shame as I was really looking forward to it, however, hopefully there will be future events that I can get to.

Make sure you all have your cameras, we want lots of pictures! To all who are going, have an enjoyable day, weather sounds like it'll be perfect!

Well what can I say!
I've thoroughly enjoyed the last couple of days, meeting new and old faces. Im feeling rather tierd after the 5 hour drive back so the storytelling will have to wait

Many stories to tell.... but I am similarly knackered! It was an excellent weekend, thanks to all for their advice and knowledge!

What a great show

The most enjoyable to date...

It was really good to meet up with friends old and new and have a good old natter.

Indeed many stories to tell but like both you Kev and Dave, I'm too tired tonight and in some discomfort; both Val and I are rather sunburned

I have fallen head over heels for the Traction Avant

I have an inkling what one of my future projects might be

All in all, a most brilliant weekend

I echo those words, I started an update but have had to give up and go to bed with sunburn on the back of my neck and legs due spending a fair degree of the day bent over delving into DS's other than my own
