Hi! New member from Norway here. Im in to buying a Lexia from easydiagnostics.co.uk, and would like to offer my services when I get that in house. But the shop needs a confirmation from an admin here, so I wanted to PM you "GiveMeABreak", but seems like Im unable since I have not made (enough) posts in the forum yet. Can you help me with this? Im ready to order, they need confirmation, so they send itGiveMeABreak wrote: ↑13 Oct 2017, 18:06 To All Members

Norway calling
After had some time without a french car, now Ive just got myself a MY07 C5. Pretty fine car, but not the same refienment in the hydropneumatics as I had on my prevoius Citroens, so Ill sell it to get a newer model with Hydractive 3 plus.
In my time Ive had a few french ones: Peugeout 505 Break. A very practical car with nice comfort and huge space. Unfortunately a sloppy and thirsty 2-liter petrol. A CX 2.5 TRD Turbo 2, who was the perfect tourer with quite nice oomp and a comfort seldom to find on cars today.
Later a brand new MY96 Berlingo van, one of the first sold here in Norway. Simple 68hp diesel that worked surprisingly fine, and the car itself was faultfree and a good ride.
MY 01 Xsara Break 1.6 petrol. Cheapest car ever. High MPG, only some minor faults, and a comfy ride. A little small though, when kids popped out, so I sold it for a brand new MY13 Berlingo, as was a very practical car in all terms, and after replacing the useless 185 14" tyres who was OE, to 225/45-17, it got surprisingly good to apex too. Got some bigger cars like Pajeros later, now my daily rider is a MY06 Focus C-max, who has no comfort, but still a practical and very cheap ride.
Now this C5, who will be sold as soon as some small stuff is fixed and MOT is OK, the looking for a 3-4 year old C5 "Break" with 2-liters diesel and autobox.

Re: Norway calling
Almost 4 years has gone since I bought this one. 2014 CrossTourer (2,0 HDi auto). Only 90.000KM so far, and with some general maintanance its still in pretty good shape.
In the last 4 years Ive just maintained simply with engine and fuel filters, engine oil, brake disk and pads, bulbs,,
Last year I replaced oil in both hydraulic and autogear, brake fluid, all filters, all major bushings in front suspension (with OE parts, nothing fancy).
I also had a major cleanup and protection in paint and interior last summer. 5 stage polishing and 2 stage coating (protection and hydrofob) took me 5 good days, result is jolly good, easy to keep clean and looks pretty good for a soon 10 year old car.
This year its time for timing belt, including water pump, AC clutch, generator freewheel, belt, timing sensor ring. Plus all relevant bushings in rear, then a new alignment.

Yes I ask the stupid questions, because normally it is that simple.
