Hi all,
Just joined up as I have a problem with my Scenic.
I am in west Kent and if you see a Scenic failing to use left indicators that will be me, probably. i will post the question about it elsewhere. I had Clio before so have some experience of Renault cars.

Good Morning all, from Sunny Hartlepool.

I'm a new owner of two frenchies,

2009 Citroen C5 X7 Exclusive 2.0 hdi
&
2009 Renault Grand Espace Dynamique 2.0 hdi

Recently purchased due to a new addition to the family (baby Jacob). Bit of a change from a BMW 730d Sport and a Citroen C3 Pluriel. However it's all good so far.

Hello from a Newbie.

Despite being a Citroen owner since 1999, I have only just found this forum whilst searching for information.

My Citroen experience is hardly extensive, but having started with the bottom of the range Xsara, I quickly graduated to the top Xsara. Here is the short list:

1999 Xsara West Coast special edition Coupe. I think it...

Hi Guys,
Looking forward to picking up my 10 plate C5 VTR+Nav in the next few days. My last Frenchie was a BX19 20 years ago! Had a test drive yesterday and decided that it was deffo for me. It drives much smoother than my Vauxhall Signum!!!

Hello to all - long time browser, only just signed up!

We've got a lovely little 207 1.6 VTi - but the engine light has come on with the 'depoloution system faulty'

Hoping to get in touch with another Devon member with the Peugeot Planet plug in to give us a hand so we can get back to enjoying the car!

Thank you

Just checking in for the first time. I have a 8 seat Citroen Spacetourer on order, hopefully for delivery before November but there is apparently a long wait. My current cars are a Skoda Superb, a Fiat Doblo and a Caterham. This will be my first French car. Greetings to all.

My name is Dean. I live in Whangarei, New Zealand and my current ride is a 2006 C5 Exclusive with A V6 and 6 stage transmission. It's had one previous custodian and has now 114,000 km on the clock. This is my fifth round of Citroen custody. I've also owned a host of other makes, mainly Japanese.
So, what are my impressions fifth time around?
Well...

Hello all, first Citroen bought as a second car, seriously impressed, after using my new 06 C5 VTR estate over the passed few days my 17 plate Honda seems like an old bone shaker ...... I loved the Honda ride before I got the Citroen, many questions to ask no doubt, thanks from snowy Norfolk, Stu

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...

Well, I had my head turned. After years and years of owning Audi's (though I still own three classics), I saw my C5 hdi for sale on FB up for more money than I had. :cry: Then it became a 'need gone' and price was dropped by just under half and into my price range. Went to view and finally I have found a car as comfortable and smooth as my old A6...

Hi Folks,
A quick hello, with an intro and some background.

I live in Ireland, just north of Dublin in a town called Ashbourne, having moved to Ireland from the UK some 25 years ago with the company I was with at the time.

Hi all, after selling my XM some years ago, I'm back in a big hydrapneumatic Citroën, this time a C5 tourer 2.2 hdi 200 exclusive. I've only had the car 2 weeks, but I'm impressed so far with the quality and luxurious feel of the driving experience. Hopefully this continues and I don't need too much technical advice!
