Well, today is my birthday, and one of my twin brothers, knowing I have a thing for Citroens, got me a first edition copy of "Citroen" by Raymond Broad (the other twin got me "Being the Supervet" by Noel Fitzpatrick). Useful and varied reading.

Well I gave the bar staff the instuctions and they came up with this, but insisted on a drop or 2 of grenadine for a bit more realism. Hope you enjoy it.

Well, thanks to the relevant delivery service my Christmas Present arrived today (she ordered it with plenty of time). It did bring a big grin to my face. No, I don't know where she got it from, and NO, you CANNOT have it!

It does mine too. I am still grinning. The first time I will wear it is when I next see her.

Well, I now have a new (to me) C5 estate. One thing I need to do is to replace one of the number plate lights. I have the right bulbs (W5W), but I cannot remember the best way to remove the lens (without it breaking). I know they get brittle with age, but can anybody help me with this? Thanks.

To replace the bulb, there is a screw on the right hand side of the lens. Undo that and carefully unclip the left hand tab on the lens from the housing. You can then gain access to change the bulb.

Hi Marc. There are no screws on the lenses on this C5 unfortunately.
