Just joined the forum as I'm viewing a 2009 Citroen Dispatch Campervan on Saturday with the 1.6hdi engine.

Any thoughts on things to check other than the usual second hand checks?

Cheers

Hi there,
I live in a small village 40 minutes away from Málaga city, and own a 1994 Citroen ZX 1.9TD Volcane and a 1999 Peugeot Partner 1.9D. Both cars are pretty knackered (although the zx is still a beauty) and can't be worth much more than 500 euros between them, so I've started doing any maintainance and repair work myself. I have already...

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...

Hello everyone,

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.

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.

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...
