French Car Forum

Hello all. I have just moved house, and extra garage space means that my 2005 MX5 can finally be retired from daily driving duty and become a rare sunny day treat.

It’s only worth £1500 or so but I love it, and recently spent £3400 on rust and bodywork, so I won’t be getting rid of it.

I have one young child and another on the way. Doing the...

Howdy Frenchie-Folks!

Hydraulics and Xantia fan (got hooked with a 94 TZD BX) here in New Zealand/Aotearoa. Thought I'd pop up a pic of my current beastie, 'Francois the Frenchie', he's clocked somewhere North of 400,000km's and lives down the tail end of a gravel road, across some paddocks and close to the roaring forties of the Tasman Sea....

Hi All,

Happy to find this forum as there are very few references to DS7's online... I've had mine since November 2018 and can't fault it, having moved up from a DS4.

Will be happy to answer questions if anyone wants to know a little more about the car. I've the 2L Petrol Ultra Prestige with all the toys except Night Vision and built-in Dash Cam.

Hi I’m Deb.
Looking at buying a ds7 crossback.
I have mobility issues and struggle with the suvs and seating positions.
My slk is perfect until I need to transport people.
My dad had a ds21 back in the day I can clearly remember loving it far more than other cars aged 4. I grew up in his garage so have always been a bit of a petrolhead cars bikes...

Im new to the forum. Im living in England and I drive C2 VTS which I love and Im hopin to get some useful informations from more experienced members or share my toughts.

Thanks
Mat

Hello everyone,

I'm very glad to become a part of this forum, since nearly all the other forums (or fora ? A bit too nerdy of me, sorry) have apparently ceased to exist.

My name is Alexander and I currently live in Portugal, though I am originally from the British Isles. My father was a big Citroen enthusiast, having owned more CXs than I can...

hi everbody, you have a new member here :-D

Hi - I'm based in North East Scotland, and new to these forums, but not to french cars... The first car I can remember us having was a CX safari way back when I was a toddler, my first car was a BX 14re with the Visa engine. I've got a bit of a car collection and a staggeringly good workshop, the culmination of the collection and the workshop is...

Hi all,

My name is Chris.

I have a Citroen Relay III L3H2 Enterprise, circa 2015, I say circa 2015 because it was registered mid January 2015 but it's birthday was mid December 2014 :-D

It started life as a working panel van which I acquired it at 28 months old, it is now a Motorhome 8-)

Hi all. I've just picked up my new (to me) C5 X7 Touring from a member on here. I'm only on day 2 of ownership and I'm already loving it.

I've picked up the car as my ageing dogs are struggling to get in and out of my Land Cruiser. There was no way the Cruiser was going so I picked up the C5 as an additional car.

There's no doubt I'll be picking...

Hi I'm Marco from North Wales, I have a 2014 Citroen Relay 2.2.

Hello all.

I guess some of you may already know me from 306 circles but thought I'd register here too.

I'm Ben. Currently got a 1998 306 Rallye that's getting a (very slow) absolute OEM restoration. I've also got a silver 2002 Ph2 Xsara VTS that's had just three owners and done just 57k.

I also break the odd car here and there. I've another Ph2...

Just thought id drop in and say hi from Manchester
Ive spent the last week or so reading up on the ins and outs of Peugeots. and the DV6 engine..
My partner has always been a big fan of Peugeots, having had two 206's, a 307CC and two 208's.

Now the fleet i am expected to support is a 2007 Pug 308 1.6HDI, and also probably a 2015 Partner Teepee...

Over many years of car ownership and tinkering I've owned, maintained, and often sworn at, a lot of French cars. Here's a small list of my past and present obsessions....

Hi Tony here rejoined the French car owners club as we now own a 2005 55 Plate 1007 1.4 75BHP 57K in not too bad condition, look forwards to seeing if i can get it back running as its not happy limp mode no power starts and ticks over ANTI Pull but VSS fault code P0608 ans P0444

Hi
New member, in common with many newcomers I am after information. I will address my request in the relevant area.
After a long time hankering I purchased my first French Car A Citroen CX 2.5 N/A diesel in 1989. It was a bit of a ratty old thing but it was a holiday machine for my family. It towed my caravan all over the UK and crossed...

Hi all im new to the forum I'm unlucky enough to own a Peugeot Partner van.

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.

Just a few lines to introduce myself.
Owner of a Peugeot 206 55 plate, had it for over 7 years, I think that it`s the most reliable car I have ever owned so far. I live in Gloucestershire, (Cheltenham, to be exact, that posh place where we get out of the shower to have a wee).

Greetings from Finland!

Hi, new to the forum having recently bought a 2011, 1.3 hdi, Nemo Multispace.

I sold my saloon car and bought the Nemo as I was going to do up a house and needed a “workhorse”. So far it has not disappointed me. What a great performer it is.

Hello, I've joined the forum for some advice as it seems to be an excellent place to acquire some. I won't bleat on about myself as it's not very interesting and any relevant facts will become clear in my subsequent posts, so for now I would like to wish a happy and prosperous New Year to one and all.

Hi everyone, i’m Jon from Hull. Just bought myself a Citroen relay and looking to do a few things to it so hoping I may get some help off this forum. Also is anyone a member of the Citroen-owners-club? Tried registering but seems to be a problem. Cheers, Jon.

Hi,

As my profile states I don't own a DS3 but I tinker with one (the girlfriends mothers) I do have some general car knowledge but would like to get some specifics :)

Thanks guys...!!

I've been a long-time lurker, but now there's a dedicated DS forum I thought it was time to get myself registered!

Current car is a 2010 DS3 120VTi, which I've had from new, first new car I've ever bought. After three Alfas it's like a breath of fresh air - the only things it's needed apart from normal servicing & consumables have been one broken...

Hello everyone!

I'm Paul, from Glasgow, but I live in Russia because of professional reasons. I've recently had the chance to buy a second hand Renault Duster SUV for a relatively low price thanks to a colleague, but it's a model and a brand I'm absolutely not familiar with.
That's why I decided to join your community; so far, I haven't run into...

Hi folks. I've recently joined the Citroen XM forum and been directed over here by those helpful chaps.

I'm keen to join the ranks of the hydropneumatically cosseted and having initially been keen on an XM I think that might be more of a challenge than my lifestyle can currently support.

So I'm wondering about a diesel C5. The 2003 2.2hdi...

Hi, Thanks for letting me join this forum. I'm in Sunny Cornwall,Have owned a number of Citroen's over the last 20 years.

Hello Everyone

I am new to the C5 crowd but not to Citroen as I own a bunch of them, guess one is never enough.... My recent acquisition is a MK1 2001 54000mile 3.0 v6 auto Exclusive. Has a full service history and actually very carefully used. She has a few scuff marks here and there but nothing out of the ordinary.

Just wanted to say hi and...
