Hi to all interested in buying a Lexia (I'm one)
Not sure if this has been linked to before but if the sellers' claims are true about PCB quality it might be interesting:

10% off would bring the price down competitively. BTW I'm no expert on Lexias whatsoever and I have no connection with this seller.

For some reason that I can't be bothered to fathom, Google didn't find Easydiagnostics' web-site.

Is there a way of finding the paint code on my 2001 synergie, I have looked every where for it but it is not there, I have tried the Halfords blue but it isn't the right colour.

Thanks Simon.

The C4 Grand Picasso seems to have a reputation for a comfortable ride but I find the range of model variants bewildering when it comes to working out what a particular car has (notably high profile tyres). Does anyone have any experience/thoughts on the pre-2014 models? Is the 'automatic' electric parking brake standard across the range?

1.6 16V engines with DPF are Euro 5 - this might be 110 versions only, and some early ones in say C4 or C5 may be E4 - but I think all the ones in C4 Picasso will be E5.

Hi guys am totally confused and need advice.

Have just started the process of fitting a towbar on my 2002 c3 LX and checking all the info and watching vid on youtube it states that to mount the towbar pull the rear bumper away and behind the rear wheel mud guard there should be two holes to bolt the towbar to the car?

Well after spending ages...

Last post

Thanks homer just checked the link and that looks exactly like my tow bar. the chassis has a sealant running along the middle so ill check it out to see if the holes are hidden but its not a wide seal so dont see how the holes could be missed but Ill have a good look fingers crossed they will be there.

Will be back to let you know.
