cheers for the offer but I have a nice shiney set of alloys on all ready

Could anybody give me the size of the factory fit tyre that goes on these Citroen alloys.....'Estoril' 15" alloy wheels Cheers

Its now been 12 days and still they have not openend the drivetrain to find the fault. I have now ben informed that because I have replaced the standard wheels with alloys and lower profile tyres it coul be the reason for diff failure as it changes the angle of the diff. the tyres I have fitted are slightly lower profile but pretty much the same width. It seems they will try everything to get out of a warranty! next installment on Thursday when they would have opened the drivetrain

Well apparantly an internal memorandum has been sent to all citroen dealers informing them about this assessor. Its to fight back against the boy racers in Saxo twisting the shafts off and then wanting the warranty to cover it. If I get my hands on this memorandum I will scan and publish it on this forum for you.

it seems the diff/gearbox is in need of a rebuild! Thats all I have been told till now and that was the estimate I got from the dealer :D

Just some info My Berlingo Hdi (2 years old this month and 28000miles on clock) has made a rather ominous noise. Took it to my Citroen dealer on Thursday adn only received a phone call to tell me that it sounds like a diff problem(Monday 25Sep) I was also informed it would be another week before they could strip it down and then an assesor would come and see if the cause of the problem was reckless driving or product malfunction (reckless driving = wheel spinning) If he decides its reckless driving, the warranty will not cover the work and I will have to shell out £3000 to repair it. I have also been told that it would be 3-5 weeks till i get my car back, that is if the warranty covers it otherwise its gonna be a lenghty legal battle. I was also informed that an internal memorandum has been passed along to inform them about this. Now the Berlingo is hardly a boy racers dream and Im a 35 year old man, how reckless could I be in a 96bhp diesel van? And Im stuck without a curtousy car as they dont have one for long term, only daily use. Great service, I dont think so mad.gif I will keep you updted to when i get more info.......
