GRUMPY

Sniff Sniff a very strong smell of bulls***

19 Months old no propblems with mine.

I like the concept but I'm not sure Citroen has got the setting/sensor right.

If when loading an update disc and it crashes what does power it down for 48hrs mean and how do you do it.

I have spoken with Citroen UK a few times about this and have been given no help at all. Spoke agian last week and was told july 2007 when the discs would be out. But as I have complained before, as a goodwill gesture I would not have to pay for it. I called a dealer on sunday and asked about the Navidrive system, The very helpful salesman told me how the system would notify me of traffic jams and rerout at the touch of a button. I think I am going to get legal advice on this.

It should have been working when you bought the car.

I have yet to get the esp light to flash, believe me I have really tried but the car just loves fast cornering. As for the hazards, simulated emergency stop at 90mph they came on. But I could not feel the abs through the brake pedal.

I checked my xenon headlights on a beam setter today. I found that the "flick-up" is a lot smaller than I have found with standard headlamps.

I'm not sure how fast the air is moving when it leaves the vent but I'm sure it is a lot slower than 10mph. So if you start to turn at 10 mph you will move through the air that left the vent a second or two before so it feels as if it is blowing hotter because the car is turning. Of course this will depend on how fast the fan is and the position of the vents.

Assuming you have the set the vents straight then as the car turns you will move into the airstream from the vents. Is it you that has noticed this or your passengers?? I only feel this when turning left.

Mine is in the dealers for this problem now. They told me today there was a service bulletin about the routing of the drain pipe so its safe to assume that new cars won't have the aircon leaking into the footwells. according to the csma web site it comes with the manufacturers warranty. Most of the teething troubles have now been sorted so that worry has gone, the only problem left is finding a decent dealership to look after it. As for the car itself its brilliant, if you can afford it get the navidrive and/or the jbl audio system.

So why did you buy it????? 15 months on and mine is still not right, mostly minor a couple of major problems the worst being the swimming pools in the front footwells. Customer service is appalling the dealer is c**p and at times very economical with the truth. for example when the CD changer was jumping when the handbrake was applied "it's gone out of synch and we need to reinstall the software" That said it a fantastic car good looking a great drive happy to cruise on on the motorway or great fun on the back roads. Despite trying very hard I have yet to have the ESP kick in.

Thanks, that helps.

How many ways can I thankyou for your post. I cannot control my joy and elation thinking about the pure pleasure of driving a C3. I am sure I will not want to give it back. :huh: B) B) B) B) B) :unsure:

IMO the tech guys are great at the major items but seem to lack support from Citroen for the obscure problems that a new model suffers from. It's not Citroen that that cuts the bonus it's the dealers and it is the service manager that decides what jobs get done and when. After pestering Citroen UK for 2 months my car goes in next Thursday and it is staying there until it's fixed. I haved been told the curtesy car is a C3!!!!!

I was evilone but forgot my password. DOH What exactly is the double antenna?? I spoke with Citroen UK about this surprise surprise they did not know the answer but they made sure to make me aware that it only has 7 speakers not 9 as stated on the spec sheet. shame I was not told this when I bought it.
