French Car Forum

Hello all, we're a two French vehicle family living in France. We have a 1996 Renault Traffic and a 1996 Citroen Synergie. I have just swapped the Synergie engine for one from a 1994 Xantia, great fun, not, but the result was well worth the effort. Have had a look around this site, well impressed, hope I can contribute at some time.
Cheers for...

Hello, i'm here because I drive a Peugeot 205.

One day I WILL own a Citroen DS, but for the moment the Peugeot will have to do..

Hello all. Keith in cheshire signing up due to misbehaving C5 2.2 diesel. Already found some good advice so thanks to those contributors.

G'day Folks

Whilst I do vaguely recall being a member quite a while ago, I felt worthwhile re-joining as it were, and introducing myself to you all.

My name is David, aka here as well as Aussiefrogs as Eternal Oak. I have been the 'on-off' owner of a french vehicle for, say, three years now, my current one being a 1976 Citroën CX-2200.

I was a...

Just a heads up for an indy garage in east Manchester. French Connection in Hyde. They have a lexia and are ex pug/cit mechanics. Great help with my C5. They know all about the dreaded anti-pollution warnings and can usually find out the source of the problem(s). Very approachable and straight talking. Reasonable on price too. Tel 0161 366 6685.

Id like to intro myself, previously been a member of cxoc with the xsara so im sure i might know some on here, that has now thankfully gone and now have a 2003 citroen c5 2.0 hdi vtr hatch, trying to keep it as standard and reliable as possible only modifications are to bring it up to exclusive trim with the leather heated seats (ebay bargain) and...

hello guys

Hi, i'm Mel from Wales i'm new to the forum. I own a Citroen Xantia Hdi 110 LX.

Thought I'd say hello to everyone here.
I've just bought a Citroen Synergie 2.0 petrol pictured below,

We had a Fiat Ulysse a few years ago and loved the practicality of the sliding doors and the space vacated by the gearstick in most cars. Recently we've had a couple of Galaxys a 2.0 and latterly a 2.8, but we found them very unreliable tbh...

Hi all, just found this forum and as then owner of a C5 2.2hdi SX and a pug 206 1.4 sport which I maintain myself thought might be a good idea to join

I drive a Peugeot van

Hi all, just wanted to hello before asking questions about my 03 plate 206 SW. I am not tech savvy so please speak slowly!
Cheers

i'm new and don't know much about much. i've got a 407 x-line diesel auto

Hey all,

Just wanted to say hi before I fire out a load of questions about my new old C5... :)

Cheers,
Fro

Hi There, I'm a newbe with a new (to me) 2003 C5 2.0 HDI Estate, this is a great forum, so much knowledge and helpful people, looking forward to posting.

Hi

My name is Simon Howat, I come from Dumfries in the south west of Scotland. I joined this forum site for help and advice on problems with my Xantia and have already came across a few members willing to give me help and advice. Let's just hope that I can get the car back on the road now.

Hope to speak to more of you in the future.

Hi From me too, I did have a Citroen C4 Picasso, great for moving the family around as I found it was one of the few cars where you could fit three child seats on the second row so you don't lose any boot space...I say did have one, some kind lady crashed into me 8 weeks ago, it was a complete write off but more importantly all the family emerged...

Just thought i'd say a quick hello :)

Have just put a deposit down on a y reg xantia 2 ltr diesel estate.
Collect it during the week.
It's got 133k on the clock with limited service history.
Drives well, nice bodywork and interior
Are there any common faults that a green Citroën owner should be aware of

Richard

hello all, just joined up ,i am in a the midlands,currently have a 96 106 diesel,a 94 405 diesel and a 98 xantia 1.8 16v

Thought I would say a quick Hello to everyone. Just joined lastnight. I thought I would join because some people I know have French cars, including my partner who has a Peugeot 206, which has had problems before, and no doubt will continue to do so :lol: so now I know where to come for help/advice.

Myself, I will put my hands up and admit I am...

Noob here with a 94 xantia Been lurking around for a while and decided to register at last, cool place you got here guys i will be bombarding you with ignorant questions no worries :D

Hi All :)

I am a semi retired auto technician with many years of working on French cars mostly Renault from 1974 to 1994.
Following this i worked in the simulation industry as an hydraulics technician, This took me all over the world.
I then moved on to work in the...

Hi folks

My name's Matt, and I'll get this out of the way right now: I don't drive a French car. My last name's French but I don't speak a word of it, and in Canada French cars are almost completely unheard of so I sort of have an excuse. It's not that I don't like them: I'd love to have an Alpine A610 or especially an R5 Turbo II. Just watched...

Voila,

Well, I think I am pretty normal, except I have a tendency to collect cars :roll: Luckily I am cured from driving CX models which lately ruined my repair cost savings account... For the time being, I live in Hamburg, Germany.

Still have a yellow-black 2cv Charlston and a Mochet Camionette Anyone having data or info on the latter, I would...

Hi..

I am James and i am a newbie to this forum. I join this forum for the purpose of gathering information about buying and selling of new and used cars. I know about this but still i wants to collect more information from here by discussing my views and queries with the members. I will share any new and different information about car dealing...

Hello to all

I drive a lovely old bx 14 for my sins! I'm looking for a tzd, of course, but I'll wait for the right one (3 years waiting now!).

Cheers

Hi

I'm Campbell and those of you on the BX and XM forums already know me. I like all things French, as well as microcars and three wheelers.

I've owned more French cars than I can shake a stick at and am currently on my second XM - a 2.1TD SX Series 2 - plus a French-built smart roadster and a Mochet Camionette - yep, the only one in Britain -...

Hi there guys. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Stephen and I spend my time between Plymouth and Nottingham. I work as an engineer onboard submarines in the Royal Navy. I've had a 1.8 16v SXI Xantia now for nearly a year after swapping an old Fiesta for it! The Xantia had stood outside for year and was ditched. It came with...

Hi, I just joined this forum, I am from Malaysia. I just bought a 1997 Citroen Xantia, my first Citroen and my first experience with hydropneumatic suspension.

Hello french car forum. 1st time forum user. 2nd time pug owner. 1st was 306 19td. Great car, too small. 2nd is 406 2.0hdi. Great car, engine management light annoyingly intermittent. But there maybe light at end of tunnel. Getting useful information now. Great forum.

I have been lurking on this site for about a year, and so far it has been a great help. I never knew much about repairing cars until I bought my xantia, not to say that I have spent all my time fixing it, more that I am so inspired by what lies beneath the body work and bonnet that I have become an amature grease monkey since owning one! Cheers...

hello everyone, just joined as i thought someone on here could offer me some advise, i have a 94 xantia 1.9 td, awesome car but has no power, i sold the 306 as i needed something bigger, the 306 was like a rocket compared to the xantia, seems no boost at all, ive checked the obvious turbo seems fine but it wont pull the skin off a rice pudding,...

Hi,

I'm a short-term lurker. I've been looking for a new car, so came here to do a little reading up on Citroens-we had a Xantia a few cars ago
('94 18. SX with BX GTi wheels), loved it, but defected to Volvos for a while after the cambelt snapped.

Just bought myself a very nice little ZX; a '96 Elation diesel; picking it up tomorrow.

I'm in...

Hi, all just like to introduce myself too this forum, I have just bought my first citroen xantia, had citroens before but with normal suspension, so I may be asking a few questions lol, so just thought I would say hi, lol,

Hi,

I am a fan of the small french cars such as the old model renault5 and the citroen saxoest thing to in my opinion although now very overdone is still a car that deserves a subtle mod.

Besides chocolate for breakfast cars are the best thing the French have done.

Hi,

Always polite to introduce myself on new forums...

I'm a long standing XUD fan having had probably at least 10, some Pug petrols too, currently trying to put a DW8 back together in an old Berlingo.

A friendly chap called John Grainger suggested i pop along for some advice having failed to sell me a head gasket (wrong engine) as i'm a little...
