So thought I'd say hi

Hello!

I'm Johan from Sweden. I just got myself a 2013 DS5 Hybrid from Austria and imported it to Sweden. However, it is in a sorry state and has high mileage, approximately 250,000 km. It goes and runs, but not on the traction battery. The exterior is wrapped in white a long time ago and is very worn and torn. It needs a driver's window...

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum and hoping to gain some knowledge about my little 308. Looking forward to the journey.

Hello crew,
Last Friday I sold mazda 3, and before that was driving cx5 and another mazda 3 w manual transmission.

Because of back problems, I m done with stiff suspensions, and hopefully I m gonna be happy with my citroen

Need to decide between new c4x AT 1.5hdi and 2017 c5 AT limusine (240.000km) but in very good shape

I know its a strange...

Dad had 2 bx, then a xantia which he passed to me, then I bought another. Then naturally I bought a 2cv. I'm looking for a bx eventually, maybe not this year but next year.

A very lovely friend of mine moved to Texas last year to be with her new hubby and - bless her! - she gave me her car before she left. He's red and called Benjie (a sort-of anagram of the number plate), making this the first car I've ever owned that is a) French, b) gendered, and c) named.

I love him way more than I expected. He's a fun drive. I...

Hello everyone,

just a quick intro - I'm from Leeds & I've just bought a Citroen DS3 (2013, 1.6, 120bhp version). It's my first real experience of a French car (unless you count the Peugeot 106 which I owned for about a month 20ish years ago?). I quite like the DS3 so far but can't help feeling there's going to be a new clutch needed soon as...

Hi,

I’ve never posted anything before so I’m hoping I’m doing this right and apologies in advance if I’m not. Here it goes :-D

I’m after either an original part number or information where I can get the actual part for my 2001 Citroen Berlingo 1.4i petrol heater hoses/exchange hose. I’ll need to have it shipped to Australia so freight costs are...

Hello.
I am a new member and want to greeting all of you.

Sebastijan.

Just wanted to introduce myself as a new member here on the French Car Forum. I'm originally from Brisbane, Australia and have recently become the proud owner of not one, but two French beauties - a Renault Captur and Peugeot 5008.

I've always had a soft spot for French cars, despite some dodgy experiences in the past with an old Peugeot 307 and...

Hi...
I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction as I have lost the thread whilst looking online.
But I have a 2014 C4 grand picasso 1.6 hdi Automatic.
And since owning the car I keep getting (especially if it's a damp morning) the ESP/ASR Fault light comes up.
Where's the first place to start looking to resolve this please?
I remember...

Hi All. Brit living in Slovenia.

My Brother-in-law has given me his C4 1.4 2009 to fix. We also have a family Renault Kadjar as the daily. First foray into spannering on a French car :-)

Hi all

I have just acquired a 1995 Xantia 2.0 auto as a project.

Seems reasonably OK 50,000 miles been off road for a year.

Got it trailered home now working through everything slowly.

So I have ordered some new tops from...

Hello from Norway! Have a 2007 Peugeot 407 1.6HDI where I am struggling to make contact with the abs module. New sensors, tried fitted new/used ABS module/Pump, new used BSM fuse box with no luck. Abs lamp comes on during start-up, goes away when driving and returns after 10-20 metres. Checked fuses, connectors and wires. The only fault codes that...

Hello,

I am coming from Croatia and I am a new owner of Peugeot 407 2.0 HDi, I joined in order to gather more information about my car and spread my existing knowledge.

Hi everyone!

I'm Vinc, new to the forum and passionate about French cars, especially Citroëns. Recently got into simracing where I've been enjoying virtual drives in classics like the DS, CX, and modern hot hatches like the 208 GTi. Looking forward to connecting with fellow enthusiasts and sharing both real-world and virtual French motoring...

Hello to all mechanics from Poland

Hi Everyone, and thanks for letting me in.
I have lived in France for the last 20 years but have only just rescued my first French car.
It's a C4 Picasso and came with a broken front spring and a blown turbo. All repaired now although I am having problems bleeding the fuel system after changing the filter.
Any advise on this would be appreciated.

Good morning,

I introduce myself. I'm Alicia and since I lived with my parents, hydractive suspension has been my reference when I thought about car trips: first a BX, then a Xantia, then a C5 I and now that ‘I'm older’, I'm the owner of a C5 X7.
Congratulations on the forum and I hope to contribute as much as possible .... (even if I ask you for...

Hi, my name is Vinc, I am a sim racing enthusiast who recently picked up a Peugeot 308 GTi as my daily driver - I guess you could say my love for French cars started in the virtual world before making its way to reality! I've spent countless hours racing Peugeot sport cars in various sims, particularly enjoying the 905 and 908 prototypes in...

Hi all,
I'm from North East Scotland and new to Peugeot and owned our vehicle for around 8 months. I consider myself a competent DIYer and always like to verify precedures before carrying out any work. It appears to be quite difficult to find information anywhere on the web, workshop manuals etc, hence why i'm here. To learn and to share...

Hello there!

Obviously new here.
Just purchased a 2014 3008 Style with a 1.6 THP engine.
Got it for a price I thought was good. Because the radio and nav. was not working. It is making that cannot read the CD sound. I am presently battling my way through reading the following:

Since I drive mostly French cars (11 Citroens, 2 Peugeots and 6 Renaults), I thought I should register here and say hello to all french-car-drivers.

Superb car!

Joined a while back and been lurking. I've owned a 2014 C4 Picasso for a while. Always been quite a keen DIY mechanic but as I get older, I find it harder and harder to get the jacks and tool chest out. In my younger days I've changed Cambelts, clutches and rear axles. The most challenging was probably the front brake pads ( of all things) on a...

Hi Folks. Just bought ourselves a C5 Aircross BlueHDi today.

Lots of questions coming you way in next few days and weeks.

Hi all

New to this forum, now in my early 50s and many moons ago I started my driving passion by having a number of Citroen hatch backs. After passing my test at 19 back in 1992, my first car was shared with my twin brother, a beige 1.1 ford fiesta.....
As you can imagine it got quite heated at times sharing a car and agreeing who could use...

Hi all.

Lifelong fan of Citroen cars here, with a liking for other French marques too.
I was 'given' a 1937 Tracion Avant (15CV?) in the 70s to 'play with' when I was about 10. It had been off the road for many years and was basically scrap, but my Dad & I actually managed to bring it back to life (briefly...) - boy did I learn a lot about cars...

Hi - Hello from Scotland!

We have a C4 1.2 Shine+ 2021 which is mainly used by my other half - it’s a great car!!

I previously had a 2007 C5 which I also loved. And also had a 2013 508 SW which I also really enjoyed.

Currently, I have a Tesla Model 3, which I love!! And a 2007 Alfa GT for fun - which it very much is, when it runs!!
