  1. Turn the key from the lock position to the on position (but not the start position) three times. This resets the ECU. The power steering failed on me once after an emergency stop. Did the 3 times key thing and it restored the steering. Cheers
  2. 2 bars or 3 bars or both within the 'normal' operating temperature of your engine. My own C3 lives on 2 bars, with 3 appearing occassionally. Logic tells me that it is running at 2.8 - 2.9, with 3.0 being reached now and then. Cheers
  3. I had the same problem, reverse wouldn't engage properly. The fix was to replace the gearbox oil and at the same time add a tube of Nulon G70 to the oil. (A teflon additive.) Took a couple of weeks to take effect, but the reverse problem, and the 1st-2nd shift stiffness when cold have disappeared. Make sure you use the correct gearbox oil, which is : Esso BV 75W80 (It has a Peugeot and Citroen spec.) Comes in 2 litre containers. Gearbox takes 1.9l. Cheers
  4. Hi Gordo. To remove a headlamp unit, this is the procedure: 1. Remove grille. 2 bolts & some screws on top edge. Pull upwards gently, has 2 tabs on sides which will pop out. (or pop out one side and go sideways.) 2. Remove front wheels. 3. Remove plastic shields under front guards. ( I think 8 clips, 1 screw & 1 10mm bolt per side.) Note that one clip is located underneath the bumper, behind the front lip, nearish to the 10mm bolt undeneath. 4. Remove the now revealed 2 x 10mm bolts (one per side), that secure the bumper to the guards. 5. Remove bumper: 3 x metal clips underneath (use flat head screwdriver to rotate and pull out), some screws on top which would of been revealed when the grille came out, disconnect foglights if fitted. 6. Headlamp unit retained by 2 x 10mm bolts now exposed after removal of bumper. Lift clip which is underneath the point where the grille bolted on. Slide red section on connector rearwards I think. Reason that my headlamp had filled with water (200ml !), was that the rear plastic cover that goes over where the globes enter was not fitted properly. Check the foam seal on this cover is in good condition. (critical). Maybe replace the seal or the cover if available. Stand headlight in sun for a few hours to fully dry out. Was easy doing this last weekend, as it was 32 degrees in the shade. Perfect for drying out headlamps! Car looks much better now that one headlamp is not permanently fogged up. (it is summer here, wasn't that bad in winter.) Cheers Spiz
  5. Greetings. I recently purchased a rear set for my C3. The fitting procedure involves the drilling of 3 holes and fitting of 3 clips that the screws thread into. Quite simple, and the instructions and hardware come in the box. Cheers Spiz
