So not too been on this forum for long, but can not work out if this used to be a citroën only forum, or if a citroën forum closed down and they all came here?
No, this forum has been running for 15 years now and started life as the Andyspares forum, then when GSF took over Andyspares it became the GSF Forum and then in the late naughties it went into private hands when GSF launched a new forum...
And here it remains

It seems Citroen owners, especially Xantia owners, gravitated to here years ago and here we stay!
The Forum was very heavily BX orientated originally and many years ago our sister forum the BX Club was formed and to this day is co-hosted with this forum and shares Admin staff...
There, a potted history!
I've been running Citroens and Pugs for years and broken down in them precisely twice, both in V6 Xantias! Once a failed ignition coil which can occur on any petrol car and once a show-stopping hydraulic leak which could not be predicted at all and not the fault of the car...
They are not rubbish, the older ones need a bit of careful looking aftyer but given that they are very good indeed.
In fact the Xantia and early C5 have proved very long-lived and rugged... The quality is there without a doubt and engines, especially the HDi diesel and the petrol V6 are nothing short of brilliant...
