These are special H6 halogen bulbs with offset pegs so they only fit one way and they only go into the holder in one of 2 positions John - before I try removing the bumper , how do you remove the headlamp washer covers without breaking them ?

I hope the garage didn't use one of those split boots that clip/are glued together

Hi I stand by what I said . I have Xenon headlamps and have changed sidelight bulbs each side at least twice .You get the old bulb out by pulling on the two thin black wires . Use a miiror and torch to see which way the bulb holder is orientated and then grope around till it slips in Dave

Surely it could still be a problem ? It depends on what the caliper is mounted on and what that is made of ?

John , it can be done on your model .It's not easy and it's a case of groping around and just when you are about to give up ,the bulb slips in I would be interested to know how you got the front panels off on this model , apparently it's not too hard ?

Could be worth checking the engine breather system is working properly

I've got mine all stripped out I appear to have continuity through the switch and the solenoid , I'm getting a voltage of about 5 on the switch Does this run on less than 12 volts and is the switch on the live side or earth return of the solenoid ? My lock appears able to get jammed if you close it with the glass raised ,but I can close the window manually and release it by operating the solenoid by hand Any ideas ?

Seat belt buckles banging against door pillar ?

If you took the magnets out of the filler cap ,would your EOLYS fluid last longer ? If you do long fast runs as a matter of course , would this be a problem ?

Is it the fuel filler flap that triggers the warning to dispense EOLYS fluid ? I thought someone said there were magnets in the filler cap itself ?

Maybe he's busy reading the Haynes manual on the C5 ?

Maybe some of the things you can plug into the cigar lighter these days - eg 12v impact wrenches / inverters etc - are too much for the flimsy wiring ?

If it's a sales disaster , why aren't Citroen discounting them ? I'm hoping to get a new model C5 mid 2010 but I don't want to pay full price

Don't agree You are cutting off the battery supply whichever lead you remove first Dave

Could the water pump impellor have come off the shaft ? Like certain VW/Audi engines

Always worth asking the owner what lead up to the problem developing

Can someone explain to me how it can make a difference which battery lead you disconnect ?

Mlkey, Changing the subject a bit , is the Haynes manual worth the cost ? Dave

I had a look at a new C5 and found there was less headroom and less rear legroom ,Everything seems to be geared towards a large load capacity because they can boast a large number of cubic meters in the adverts

"never do I brag what I know and I know a lot " - isn't that a contradiction ?

You have to do it by feel and patience When you are about to give up the bulb will slip in It's good training for being a gynaecologist

Hi I've got a recall notice on my 2006 Hdi 138 BHP C5 . What is an air doseur and what would be the symptoms if it failed ? I have to say my C5 is going fine at the moment (touch wood )

While it works it's easier to get the barrel out You may find the garage charges less if it's not a case of removing a jammed lock

There are 2 code readers in the new Argos catalogue . Does anyone think they would be any use on a C5 ? Dave
