Morning,

Greetings from the north east of Scotland. Current daily driver is a 2011 Citroen C5 X7 (163 HDI) replacing a laguna GT line that I absolutely loved.

I seem to have a history of French cars!

Hello everyone!

I'm Paul, from Glasgow, but I live in Russia because of professional reasons. I've recently had the chance to buy a second hand Renault Duster SUV for a relatively low price thanks to a colleague, but it's a model and a brand I'm absolutely not familiar with.
That's why I decided to join your community; so far, I haven't run into...

I am still working full time despite having passed the magic 65 mark, and I am using the Pug for occasional business trips and...

Hi folks. I've recently joined the Citroen XM forum and been directed over here by those helpful chaps.

I'm keen to join the ranks of the hydropneumatically cosseted and having initially been keen on an XM I think that might be more of a challenge than my lifestyle can currently support.

So I'm wondering about a diesel C5. The 2003 2.2hdi...

Hi, Thanks for letting me join this forum. I'm in Sunny Cornwall,Have owned a number of Citroen's over the last 20 years.

Hello Everyone

I am new to the C5 crowd but not to Citroen as I own a bunch of them, guess one is never enough.... My recent acquisition is a MK1 2001 54000mile 3.0 v6 auto Exclusive. Has a full service history and actually very carefully used. She has a few scuff marks here and there but nothing out of the ordinary.

Just wanted to say hi and...

Hi, I am a newbie on here from Wales so please be gentle.

The lad and his significant other now have a picasso 1.8 twin cam petrol, a mark 3 ?? being a 2003 I think.

It needs a good service and a new cam belt as no record can be found of the cam belt ever being changed, the car now having done about 92 k miles.

We have the haynes manual, hoping...

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....

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...

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

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
