think mine is a bit higher at around £170 being an auto and the 163

May sell to one of you though! love the car on the whole, but a year after redundancy and things are not looking that rosey..
Offers considered.. may do a for sale post at some point..

Lexi,

If you want to have a look at mine just let me know. It enjoys long drives.

I throw everything in mine including the dog. :-D

Are you thinking of buying one.

Kenny

Always looking at market Kenny. I note the issues and the tighter seats and cabin space. They are also a bit posh to wack all my gear in for the outdoors life :lol:
Thanks Paul R for road tax figure. Not bad that £130!


Bit posh for ?....naaa, I throw (well place) cast iron radiators in mine. Make them work for you :)

Really, I think a "wet" Citroen needs to be used or it goes wrong .

My Activa takes a good 2 months to start working as I like it to.

Peter


maybe I should connect one up as a cabin heater :)

Well after the inspection the cars gone from weeping to wind and finally stopping, which is a good thing but annoying as I don't know what was the cause the problem in the first place.
I don' know what I have done to upset its feelings.
I must fit a cast iron radiator to improve the cabin heating, great idea.
