According to Takata, the chemicals in the airbags’ explosive charge can...

My DS5, VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff] should be eligible for recall, but my vehicle is in China and I cannot find the corresponding service provider. Could you please contact me officially and tell me how to handle this? ????_20251024002629_33_148.png

CX Road Trip to Paris

Went to Retromobile and the Aulnay factory in Paris this week with Practical Classics - a road trip with my CX and a Renault Alpine owned by one of the magazine contributors.

CX was faultless (of course!) whilst the Renault was... troublesome!

Thanks for all the advice on this. In the end it was a dodgy battery. It was new but drained right down prior to new alternator being fitted. Obviously just couldn't hold enough charge though I suspect there's still an undiagnosed drain on it.

Any ides what this is?...

Last post

Its a common Cx problem. The fix is to reduce the current to the motor, since there is no stop function. A current controller is easy to install in the switch for on the dashboard. There is a recipe somwhere on the net, but I have forgotten where

Just thought I'd give you CX guys the heads up that I've listed these on eBay:

onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

As mentioned in the advert, been in the garage for around two years and to save them sitting there I thought someone else could benefit from them.

Thanks!

Sold!

Thanks.

Any one know about this onclick= window.open(this.href);return false; CX prestige for sale?
Black/grey with reg number F 873 OPH.

Is that a big thing?
Obviously I have not seen the car, and cannot 'really' comment however if it's on the mounts then sounds like the subframe has to be removed to repair properly.

Not a humongous job, however maybe something not to get involved in...

CX white break pipe...

by oli_25_uk » 30 Nov 2012, 10:18

First post

Hi all,

I've got a problem... Apparently the unique to CXs - offside white break pipe with a banjo on the end - (can you tell I have no idea what I'm talking about?) on my otherwise rather fine DTR T2 is broken and it's broken in such a way as to make a repair impossible, so what I need to find is one from a car that has been broken......

Last post

All sorted. Dave my fabulous independent (Citroen Specialists on the Pershore Road in Brum) found one - as did the lovely Rob Moss from Chevronics... So all sorted!

Is this the correct pattern for CX Mats?

by Stormrage » 08 Nov 2012, 22:11

Hi guys,
Yet another question I'm afraid! I contacted this website, to get some mats for the CX as they claim to have the original OEM pattern, great! However they have contacted me saying that they have had some CX owners say they're perfect and other say that they are wrong/don't fit.... I have no idea what the original shape for CX mats was so...

CX Turbo pipes

by Stormrage » 22 Oct 2012, 19:51

First post

Hi all, fairly new here but hoping I can pick your brains....

A few months ago I acquired a CX 25 GTI Turbo 2, and I must say it is a real credit to it's previous owner!

Long story short there was a massive loss in power last week (followed by some not very fun kangarooing!) which turned out to be a turbo hose that has decided to give up the...

I've managed to find a website that claims to be able to make a one off replacement pipe from the old one, here's the link in case anyone else is interested or needs it in the future...

I'm still trying to source one or find somewhere closer to home where I can go in and talk to them about it though...

A few CX questions...

A few questions I've got, thought I'd stick them all in the one thread :mrgreen:

* Can anyone recommend an outdoor cover? Sadly the new garage will not be done until this time next year (the old one is so unstable I wouldn't trust it..... and it's not long enough!) so I really don't want to leave her completely exposed to the elements.

* Does...

Car cover I recommend pay a visit to Classic Motor Show Birmingham 16,17 and 18 Nov.
I bought a cover there 3 years ago waterproof, lined breathable wash car put cover on it will dry out.
Any how used every day 3 years 2 very hard winters only just started to lose waterproofing for £75.
There's always plenty discounted stuff mostly best bargains...

CX at Brooklands

by jwalshe » 12 Nov 2011, 21:44

First post

Was browsing some old DVDs and stumbled across a feature I hosted about Brooklands. Used to present a crummy TV programme years ago and was allowed to do part of it whilst driving on the old track there - using my own car (C888 XLJ - which evidently vanished in 2006)!

Attached are some screen grabs I thought you might find interesting. Wonder if...

Last post

Ok, Ok, but are the Turbo 2s not faster? I'd have a Series 1 Turbo if I had the choice though.
Well, unoffically they are, as the GTi Turbo 1 and the GTi Turbo 2s both had the same quoted power output of 168BHP! :^o

First up was the Series 1 GTi Turbo, then the Series 2 GTi Turbo and finally the Series 2 GTi Turbo 2.

The Series 2 GTi Turbo 2...

Gearboxes

by davoxx » 12 Oct 2012, 18:24

First post

What gearboxes would fit a 79 2400 pertol c-matic?

My solenoid is burnt out and I can not get a replacement, so I'll swap out the gearbox or gearbox and engine.
Any recommendations?

Last post

Hi, if you were to fit a manual box you`d really need one from the 2.4 style engine. The later 2ltr gearbox won`t fit the 2.4 but one from a 2.5 would. Also if fitting a manual you need to think about flywheel/clutch, n/s driveshaft, pedal box and clutch cable.
Cheers

Cx window winders

Could any of you knowledgeable Cx'ers identify wheather these are the window regulators I hope they are?
Im hoping that they are saloon rears but am not sure!

Thanks
Dave

Ill have to see if the mechanism fits then, I do like it when people think they can get out using the mirror adjuster but I downgraded my dads safari so I could upgrade mine!
The Gti leather interior I have going in it doesnt have the cut outs for manual mirrors and I dont fancy cutting them in after how much I paid for it!

Cx not rising, but hydraulic pressure light going off!

by oli_25_uk » 08 Oct 2012, 10:59

First post

Hi all,

Odd one for you. I went to drive the cx on Saturday and, as usual it started on the button, however despite the stop light going out in the normal time (10 seconds or so) it failed to rise. The steering was also a dead weight so clearly getting no hydraulic pressure.

On Sunday I had a look and discovered a leak. It was dripping from...

Hope you get it sorted!

Hi all,

I need to bring my CX back to life after winter (doh). It's been garaged at a friend's in the lake district. I now need to get it MOT'd - but rather than take it to a non sympathetic garage, i'd prefer to take it to one who knows CXs... So any advice would be gratefully received...

In the end I took it to the lovely chaps at Albion Mills... All they had to do was some welding of the rear wheel arches, which they seemed to do with aplomb!
