The last couple of days I was starting to get used to driving the car instead of lying underneath it ,when what do you know - I was shaken out of my complacency by yet another couple of faults[:(!]
1) When turning into my regular slot outside Ha@£££ds today the front end did a queer sort of dance ,going right down and then springing back up
(past normal height) before settling to normal height just as I tried to escape mocking laughter from kids in the next car.It did something similar in front of my discount parts store the other day.(is it trying to tell me something??)
Now ,from earlier postings I think this might have something to do with the Flow Divider Valve? And is it recommended to first try filling up with Hydraflush first ? I understand there are some sensitive parts which could get clogged up if LHM is dirty(dirty filters)BTW is the only way to drain fluid by removing the tank?
The car has done 71k and I was just saving up to get the timing belt changed!
2)This one`s easy,the temp gauge shows just 55-65Deg. ,creeping up to 75 in town so I got a new thermostat - will fit tomorrow.
Are there no end to these problems I wonder?[:(!]

Many thanks Richard,Nick and Neil, I do see the funny side now and it`s a relief to hear it`s just another Citroen quirk - maybe I should look for a bigger audience from now on ....
btw,Neil ,mine looks identical to yours(Minus the front fogs) - I think I saw you call the colour Emerald green ,so I presume I just look for that colour in touch-up paint?
Regards

Be careful of just looking for 'Emerald Green' because at the same time that that colour was being offered there was also 'Forest Green' which is slightly darker. Look on the bulkhead just behind the O/S/F suspension sphere and you will see three letters printed onto the paint, these will be the paint code, the 4 numbers the 'RP' code.
