  1. Make sure youi put a good oil in. We use magnetec again out of choice. but definatley not 5w/30 or 40 as its way to thin
  2. Any motorists discount store or halfords
  3. Depends on how much fuel youve got in your tank. Idealy you should fill it to the top
  4. 5w40 is for the 1.6 hdi its a very thin oil and yours will be a 8 valve engine then your putting the wrong oil in.
  5. supermarket fuels are cheap because they bulk them up with silicone which isnt good for your engine. Try filling it up with shell v power and a tin of injector cleaner we use fortes just out of choice. see if that makes it any better and get back to us
  6. What grade of oil have you got in. And where do you get your fuel from. Only going down these lines as the weather only turned cold from monday
  7. got c5s with 150k(auto aswell) 240k and and and 300k on the clock all going strong and very very reliable. Have just took a 10 year old relay of the road with 400k on the clock and all been very reliable Chances are that the new one you get will have normal suspension so wont be as comfortable also reliability is linked to maintenance and preventive maintenance.
  8. yes about 8 screws and torxs 1 in door opening handle 2 in door closing handle(handle panelgrip splits in 2 for acsess_ 1 on side of panel next to door lock 1 behind panel next to mirror(black triangular shape plastic just pulls off) remove speaker mesh and theres 3 or 4 holding speaker in and then 2 behind speaker(push bottom of mesh up and pull outwards) if ive remembered corectly and its niether a hard or dirty job
  9. This is the cheapest option so lets start with that Sounds like the central locking motor is in need of some lubricating. remove the door card and squirt the lock mechanismn/central locking motor in fact squirt everything with wd40 you cant damage anything and just keep operating the central locking. Try to get the straw that comes with the wd right into the cenral locking motor
  10. what do you call a resonable price though. Id be expecting to pay a minimum of £150 upwards for a decent interior
  11. Its broke.And for whats involved and the amount of time involved youd be just aswell going to the scrsppy and geting another seat
  12. lds fluid only or youl blow the seals in your suspension and power steering
  13. Dont really know why youve got 2 fans just checked our van and its only got 1. Could be a replacement of another vehicle or for air/con. Mind having said that the radiator is massive and could well need 2 fans which would mean that my van has the wrong fan on.If its cool]ing the van ok then id just leave it
  14. Hi anyone got a c8 to sell. mechanical,electrical,suspension,age,milage or interior condition all unimportant. would like good bodywork though. please pm me or text to 07800604498 best regards steve
  15. yes it is normal no lights on the stalks
  16. The dealers arnt that bad. just done a timing belt on a 1.6 hdi and the belt kit and water pump was £9 cheaper from the dealers
  17. pull upwards very very very very hard. make sure you dont put your head over the stick to see what is happening because its at this point it will comr of and smack you right in the face. And thats speaking from experience
  18. when the engine is running unplug the multiplug and use a multimeter to see if its sending a signal to the injector
  19. Is it petrol or diesel and what size engine. It wont rev because its in limp mode and the ecu puts the engine light on to tell you this. You now need to get the car plugged in a theres a hundred and one reasons why it could be on. Youl be wasting your time and money trying to guess so just get a diagnostic done
  20. ok will work postage out and pm you and if you want it well post it to you
  21. Theyl just plug straight in. and are you near the south tyneside
  22. lexia is the best one for citreon having said that we use snap on. thayl need to go into the suspension side of the diagnostics
  23. Is it the one at the top of the dash with the imobiliser light built into it i belive its called a multiline display and you can just plug another one in without the need for any diagnostic and i think weve got a couple of them lyeing around somewhere
  24. what did they plug it in with. The reason im asking that is when plugged in for a pollution fault they wouldnt get fault codes for the suspension as there in diferent systems
  25. ok when youve left the cap off the engine has efectivley run with none or very little oil in it. So start by giving it a full engine service including the air filter and check the breather system and possibly a engine flush and it should be ok as the 2.5 is virtually bombproof engine
