The part they are due to change is the Exhaust Cone, hoever it was not fitted today for some unknown reason and has to go back. http://www.citroen-owners-club.co.uk/citro...?showtopic=3393 ;)

So my C4 was in to have a few bits done to it, in the meantime I was givin a 07 C1 with 900 miles on the clock. I cannot count the amount of times I stalled it getting out of the garage ;) , anyways it was nice around town and very nippy but the moment I hit the motorway the thing sounded like a jet, very uncomfortable wind noise and hopeless at pulling up hills. So I get back home and ask the wife is she wants to go for a drive so we head to the in-laws ( :( ) about 50 miles away. While at said in-laws I decided to chuck a fiver in the tank, now the car felt like a diesel and sounded like a diesel so "I" assumed it was diesel, even after my wife tried convincing me it wasnt. So I put a fiver's worth of diesel in a plod on to in-laws, after a cuppa, we decide to head home except the car won't start, so the first thing I check is the fuel filler and sure enough there's a unleaded sticker :o Call our local citroen garage up to find out it's going to cost £600 to get towed back home and that there not prepared to pay out, so another phone call and they suggest filling the tank all they way up with unleaded, which I did, except the car still would not start. 10mins later and citroen arrange for the AA to tow us, AA Man turns up, refuses to tow due to the fact that damage to the car was self inflicted (Or SIF as they like to say) and hence not covered under citroen assist. AA man bugger's off, so we wait for my father-in-law to return from work and tow us to the garage, half-an-hour later I decide to give it one more try, suddenly the engine springs to life smoking and sounding like a tracktor. 5 mins later the car is running smooth as a peach, apart from the depollution light which was on all the way home. So the cars back at the garage, no mention of who's paying the bill, and I find out that half the stuff due to be done on my C4 was not done. There you go my little adventure with a C1, Nice car but not for me :D

Yep, It's due to be fixed Tuesday, as soon as I get it back i'll be under the car to see what's changed

Mine goes in next Tuesday to have this problem fixed (among others :(), mine is down to the exhaust heat shield, only makes that noise when the car is lurching

Spotted a Black VTR Coupe last sunday 4th Feb 07, we had a bit of a race on the A14 near Ipswich

85mph, its only done 870miles, still running it in ;)

How hard are they to fit?, any drilling involved?

Cheers ;) Any advice with what to look out for when I pick it up?
