French Car convert

Unread post by themoog »

Hi all. Simon, 42, married, kids etc etc...recently converted to French Car ownership and never looking back now. Had a Ford focus until just over two years ago when I leased a brand new 208 for a couple of years. Lease ended and needed a car in a hurry...and the little 206 came up. £250 and it was mine, went straight through its mot and is good to go for another year. Had the cambelt changed, had it serviced, had to fit new wheel trims and windscreen wiper blades but now it is a sorted little motor which will end up being the wife's car. I will be after a citroen c5 diesel with super wafto suspension...I am at the stage where I just want something big, comfy and nice to get me about!

Hi and welcome Simon.

Better grab a C5 quick then as the decent, well-spec'd C5s are getting harder to find and as you may not know, the C5 MK III or X7 from 2008 on was the last Citroen to have their legendary Hydraulic suspension system fitted.

There's plenty of info here for you so welcome on board.
