have you checked the bolts that secure the ram in.

none just depresurise the system. remove the sphere with oil strap or sphere tool screw in new one. start the car up and it will fill the system itself

Push on pull off. really tight to get of though. We sit in the middle with one leg drivers side and the other pass side and just pull like hell

It to the right of your air filter its a big black box. there about £40 and a bit of a arse to do as you need to remove some of your auir pipes to get at it

What engine size have you got

If you havnt got the software to depressurise the system there is another way. put car on ramp with susppension on low and cap removed and disconect the battery. next to the rear height adjuster youul see a bleed nipple with the suspension pipes connected to it. put a hose over the nipple and open it very slowly and just a bit at a time so you can control the flow. Once the plow has stopped the system has lost its pressure

Reverse gear dosnt have a syncromesh on it and thats why sometimes they crunch. next time put it into any gear first then try reverse. if no better then give the box a oil change and check the gear linkage for wear

Have you recently started using supermarket fuel

If you put that post on again in clearer english you might get a answer. As i dont think anyone understands the question youve asked

A 3/8th ratchet and extension fit into the center of the piston and can be used to wind both sides back

40 min job and second hand comm unit £20 so wouldnt be selling the car

Theres 2 plastic lugs on the door handle when putting a rear handle on the front you have to grind about 6mm of one of the lugs.Apart from that the all the same

Whats it doing to piss you off. And just a point of clarification the words 1.6 hdi and good car dont really go togetherwell ha ha

http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/Bulletin%2073.pdf Page 10 get yourself off to citroen for a free fix i think

Im sure there was a recall for a fault on the wiper motors or spindle on the c5 will check and get back to you

All the best to everyone no matter where you are or who you are. im off to work been a fantastic xmas taxi wise just hope tonight and tomorow are even half as good. And please dont feel guilty with your hangovers tomorow morn while some of us have been to work ha ha. take care everyone

Forget about the turbo Take pauls advice and that will put the aceleration problem right rear axel bushes £70 each bit of a chew on to do but theres a " how to" posting on here hanbrake at the worst caliper and cable £100 that if it needs both mostly only one needed. If its the caliper try unsiezing it. Lights staying on well some do that deliberatley for when you park in a garage to allow you to see while you leave and lock garage up and can be altered with lexia. If your dosnt have that spec then its the comms unit £20 from scrappy and very easy and clean job to do. basicly youve just got common faults and certinley not worth scrapping a car over and at only a 142k its just starting to get run in man

Merry xmas hope you all have a good and healthy christmas with your loved ones. And please please dont drink and drive

Have you got a tow bar fitted

put it on ebay or get it repaired. If it was very low speed you mite of just snapped a lifter or 2. if you were doing 10mph or more then itl be valves bent

Just give the car a run about 10 miles should do the trick as youl have bits of air of where the pipes were slackened off

yes its normal. once the engine is fired up the economy mode will go off and all will be restored. the car is designed to do that when it senses a power drain and no power going in. So dont worry about that

Sifaan i think youve got one of 2 problems here 1 youve bent one of the pins where the multiplug goes in or the multiplug itself is broke as they HAVE to go lock fully into place 2 weve had this happen quite a few times when the pump gets completley drained. The fluid needs a bit of a hand to get into the pump. We have 2 ways of doing it depending on where we are. 1 put a airline into the resovoir and stuff the opening with rags then get someone to work the hydraulics with the engine running then slowly put some air in. Dont go daft just a couple of pounds. 2 ues a eezy bleed that you get for the brakes as they come with a assortment of tops. But make sure youl let loads of air out of the tyre your connecting to il say it again MAKE SURE YOU LET THE AIR OUT OF THE TYRE. because if you dont and you conect 30 psi up to it you knack the seals. you want at the most 4 or 5 pounds of pressure in the tyre.

are you capable of doing the work yourself. If so could talk you through it

took a c5 in for taxi test today. handed keys over and went and sat in the waiting booth. 30 mins later the tester is shouting of me as i went over to the pit i could hear the hissing coming from the back end of the car and could see a wet tester. Yep a suspension pipe had burst just at the moment the tester was right next to it. Well ive never seen a c5 come out of the testing day as quick because it was only a matter off time befoer the car ended up on the ground with no steering. And that would of stopped all tests till it was lifted onto the back of a low loader. Hopefully the tester has seen the funny side of it and no doubt will end up laughing about it in time. the test was aborted
