Newbie, looking in

Post by Bigjohn »

Hello people of the French car forum, I hope I have finally found the right place to exchange information, I find myself with a Citroen C Crosser 2.2hdi 6 speed manuel, and lots of questions and problems, I hope by registering her I may find the answers, and help others.

I presume that's ia a Joke? Ha Ha, the Section I filled in asked for recent cars or cars you had, My Wife runs a 998cc Vauxhall Viva so thought best include it, didn't have room for the other 'Things I have owned'

Citroen or Peugeot or Mitsubishi C Crosser 2.2 HDi

VW Touareg 2.5TDi Auto

Chrysler Voyager 2.5 CRD In France

Citroen Xsara Picasso 2.0HDi In France

Range Rover P38 whilst living in France it ran on LPG or PGL as it is over there, could not register it so bought it back to the UK and sold it.

Discovery 2 2.5 TDi

Discovery 1 2.5td

Land Rover series 1 Petrol

Land Rover series 2 Diesel

Rickman

2cv

and about 20 others, feel free to comment its the best way to get to know people

You can edit your list of of cars in your user profile, it is possible (and recommended) to put in line breaks to avoid the 2.2 HDI Viva syndrome, but we do limit the number of lines displayed.

A 2.2HDi Viva? I'd like to see one of those!
