Just wanted to let you all know, that I e-mailed Citroen UK with details of the problem. To cut a long story short the initial cost of £550 became £270 after Citroen UK got involved. Whilst still out of pocket at least Citroen met me half way Bill

just posted on another topic regarding gearbox/clutch. Wifey had trouble selecting gear and its going to cost £550 I hope yours is not that problematic good luck

Talking of C1 clutches Not a happy chappy, wifes 06 Vibe with 16k on the clock, clutch need replacing!! and its going to cost £550 to replace!! Gone are the days when I would replace clutches myself. Had enough of lying on the ground etc etc Still seems a lot of money. Problem started with difficulty selecting gears, happened almost overnight. Car doesnt get driven hard, mostly around town but with a 40 mile round trip on the motorway every week Does anyone else think that this failure is a bit premature? Or am I expecting too much for a clutch to last longer than this. I have done 31k in my Focus in the last 12 months, going by Citreons gear i should have had two new clutches in that time. Wife was looking at getting another C1 when this one is 3 (July) but this has seriously put her off, she is going to look at other cars now rant over

Hello to all, just joined after lurking for a while. C1 is actually my wife's, but I don't think she will mind me posting/asking questions etc. She has a July 06 Vibe in solid red. It is a great little car to drive, which I also enjoy driving although she doesn't let me very often. looking forward to contributing where possible. Bill ps, so keen I have already posted twice before introducing myself pps. just noticed the header! Think I need to get a new keyboard. Should be new member. Bill Sorted for you - KFK

Hi all, my wife's C1 Vibe only leaked on the passenger side if the car was parked with the drivers side against the kerb and the road had a camber! Used to find the passenger footwell full of water. Anyway after the dealer supposedly replaced the door seal twice, the last time he has tightened up the door. We will see Bill

Hello to all, I have been lurking a while. Finally got around to registering today. Looking forward to some good chats on here. Anyway, the C1 in question is my wife's. It's a July 06 Vibe. Some fool taxi driver tried to squeeze between her and the kerb the other day. Didn't have the decency to stop. She got his badge number, but he is denying all knowledge!! Think I will just go round and slap him, and deny it of course. He has dented the nearside front wing above the wheel arch. Took the car to the dealer where we bought it from-they estimate £750!!!! It's solid red so hardly and expensive paint job. Qustion is does anyone have experience of rplacing the wings? I don't mind doing it myself anf then getting the area resprayed. Will this defeat the warranty? Really don't want to spend that some of money, and really by the time we claim on Insurance will still cost a bit. Any suggestions, hopefully clean, will be much appreciated. Bill ps. I think the C1 is a cracking little car. I enjoy driving it and I am used to much larger cars.
