My C5 has behavioural issues!
Well I was enjoying being back in the C5, and just the other day I noticed something astounding; without realising it I the milleage has passed 180,000...!
Some achievement for the humble workhorse
But then here I am thinking "we can double that figure" and then C5 comes over all naughty... perhaps I got it's pro-nouns wrong or something...
Driving home last night and I pull out to go past a lorry on the dual carriageway. I blip the throttle a tiny bit to get myself out of the way for the speed demon waiting patiently behind me, and then I get the dreaded "Depolution system faulty" message.
Of course the car removes my cruise control privileges immediately, as some sort of penance, for not maintaining it properly and allowing such a thing to happen.
I got out of the car and noticed something at the back had got very very hot, as I could hear a lot more "tick tick tick" of cooling steel than I usually remember hearing. I can only assume the car was doing a DPF regeneration. There was also an awful smell at the back too.
I was in no mood to mess around this morning as I wanted to get over to the polling station, and then to work, so after glancing at the codes and seeing something about fuel pressure, I cleared the whole lot and drove on. The car has driven perfectly all morning.
Yep I am that sort of idiot...

I just wanted my cruise control back so my right foot could be lazy on my 40 mile commute...
So now I am left wondering what the codes might have told me, and that the C5 needs...
I guess I'll have to overtake another lorry tonight and see if I can repeat the message
