Hi It appears from what they told me they are not recalling all vehicles so I guess its not a safety issue. What they carried out relates to reprograming the electronics to avoid problems when changing into and out of reverse. The dealer was reluctant to show me the paperwork for some reason so I don't have any more details. I have had recurent problems with this particular dealer - see my handbrake problem listed elseware on this site. Anyone any recomendations for good service in the West Midlands area ? Andy

Creaking noise from handbrake now seems worse after the dealer has "fixed" it. Generally this car seems to have less of the asorted rattles that the old one did - no pillar noise etc so Citroen may at last be doing somthing about these.

Just taken my 1.4 SX Sensodrive (petrol) in for some work by the dealer and they say there is some sort of recall on these relating to the gearbox. A friend of ours had the same when she took hers in last week for 1000mile check - she said they had the whole gearbox out of the car! I will find out more when I collect the car.

We have a 04 SX Sensodrive and are generaly happy with the car - much better than the LX we had before. The only slight niggle is with the handbrake lever. Every time you put the hadbrake on, once you get to the ratchet level it makes what I can only describe as a groaning or creaking noise. It's been to two different dealers and all they say is "they all do that" . Do they ? I don't remember the old one doing that ! They have given it a spray with what looks like WD40 but I would say it's worse if anything. If anyone has any ideas of a cure I would be grateful.
