Hi Guys once agian...!
I'm now back on the FCF once agian after selling my XM ( the one that Phil bought back from the alps) and on to selling my beloved Bx and buying a Volvo V70 estate which I ran for a while, before having withdrawal symptoms of having the pleasure of hydraulic suspension and ride comfort.
I have two days ago purchased a 52 plate C5 2.2 HDI Auto estate, and I must say the C5 in my mind is a lovley car ...
But today have noticed that it has developed a loud knocking noise on the front end over bumps, it does not do it in slightly on lock.
Now my question is would this be down to the drop links ?? before I go and tear the garage apart where I purchased it !!
Not having any of these changed in the past or show signs of ware in the past..
Any adivse on this would be greatflully receieved
Thanks
Nigel

Re: C5 Drop Links
Yes its fairly common on C5s to have the drop links go. Cheap replacements last no time at all, Citroen ones last so much longer.
Glad your enjoying your C5
