hello
i am desperate for help please,
6 months ago i parked my car up and never had a problem whatsoever with it,but on my return from abroad it just would not start,it was at the point of firing up but just would not start.a friend towed me up and down the road and still no joy, IT did start at one point,i ran it around the estate and went really well,got back to park up,turned it off and it would not start again.its started 1 more time since then too.
the pump in the tank is making the usual noise and i have checked diesel is getting to the injectors when i crank it.
can anyone help me at all please,it would be greatly appreciated if so.thanks in advance.
kind regards
steve

What condition is the battery in ? If the battery is more than 5 years old & been left for 6 months i would be surprised if it would recover. Does the engine turn over at normal speed ?

I would agree with the battery point. The C series Citroens have a lot of electronics, and it can run things even when the ignition is off.

Yes, I am paranoid, but am I paranoid ENOUGH?
