French Car Forum

Hi there, Hope you are all well. I am now the owner of my first French car, a '13 plate Renault Scenic XMOD
In the past I have owned Landrovers, Jaguars, Fords and other cars. I always join up to the relevant forum, as I find it hugely helpful, and like to tinker with the car myself, and fix most problems.

The Scenic has a bit of a story already....

Hi everyone, hope your weather is as good as mine. I recently bought the C5 and think I will be needing advice soon. 8-)

Hi all

I'm located in Surrey, not a French car owner per say, but my father has a Dispatch 2006 1.9d and is having a load of issues with the engine. He's not that savvy when it comes to the internet, so I thought I would try and get a bit of community help.

Hope it works out.

I'm fairly mechanical in a general sense so will try to help out...

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:

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...

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...
