  1. Ah yes, you can also see the tops of locating pins which are spot welded in place in the seat mounting bracket. They just fit into corresponding holes in the floor and lift out when you undo the torx bolts. HTH
  2. Why would I drill them out, they are just bolts?! Torx bolts in fact but all the same...
  3. Everyone said "you'll never fit it in", but there was room to spare... ;) http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/3593/photo0022ni6.jpg http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/1934/photo00231nl7.jpg http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/8207/photo0024xe1.jpg Actually those back seats were pretty easy and quick to take out, though the double one is a bit heavy.
  4. We have just returned to Cornwall after going up to Perth for Xmas. Whilst up there my Blingo 2.0HDi (55 reg) had the air bag warning light come on several times with a couple of bleeps each time this happened. I phoned Arnold Clark, the local Citroen dealer up there, but they said they could not fit the job in until next week. When I told them we were just visiting the area they suggested one of their other (non Citroen) dealerships might be able to do it but also mentioned that it was likely just to be a problem with the wiring under the passenger seat. I thanked them and decided to have a look myself: I found small plastic panels under both seats with wiring connections attached. In both cases the panel was hanging down loose apart from a single zip tie though it was obvious by the design it was meant to clip to the bottom of the front and rear frame tubes of the seat frame so I clipped both sides back in place and have had no warning lights since. I hope this is a total cure and means the air bag system is now in full working order :( ???
  5. My first post on here, hi and a Happy New Year one and all!. This seems to be a characteristic of modern diesels, my Berlingo 2.0HDi will do this in any gear, e.g. when stationary and in first gear, if you lift the clutch slowly it will pull away at a steady crawl, without touching the accelerator. My wife's previous Mini One D with the Toyota Yaris engine and six speed gearbox would do the same and it was possible to gradually drive it all the way up to about 30mph by using the gears sequentially and no accelerator. It would also never stall on a hill regardless of throttle position as long as you lifted the clutch gently. As pointed out driving around at these very low rpm does not do much for fuel economy and I am guessing it is not that good from the point of view of clean running etc..
