Bet you've had a bar fitted now but here goes anyway........ I fitted a Witter bar on my Mk1 Bling, in about 3 hours. I had to trim a small bit of the bumper but no drilling required as all the holes are in the chassis from factory. The electrics are easy enough as you can either by a fitting kit from Citroen which you plug in, or crack on with the Scotchlocs. Being a tight git, I used Scotchlocs.

Spend over £25 at GSF online, and the postage is free. Which is Nice B)

A BX wheel will fit, as long as you have 14 inch wheels, I've got one in the shed if your in Lancashire, I think the tyre is legal too. Yours for nowt!

A deep puddle did mine too, it flipped over the wheel and put some nice grooves in the tyre. The fixing studs are about 70p at the dealers.

The undertray on the HDi has a vent under the sump with a rubber fin on the front edge. It gives the look like the whole lot is hanging off, thats maybe what you saw. Oxy: You only got under the HDi at the lights, cos he let you! We diesel drivers don't rush about like you petrol types don't you know :unsure: :unsure: :D

My Mk1 HDi has an undertray which I've clouted a gazillion times on my very uneven drive. It's badly scratched but thats about it. They are made from a fibrous material which is very light and strong, so you would be trying hard to finish one off. With regard to the fixing bolts, take them out and refit with loads of copper grease. You should have no futures problems afterwards.

I used the stick on film on my four rear windows, but not the tailgate. I think one roll was enough to do all four. The easiest way to do it is to remove the windows and do it on the kitchen table. I must admit the finish is not 100% with a few blemishes here and there but i'm happy with my efforts, and it only cost £16.

The Piccasso has had a problem with bottom ball joints on the front suspension wearing out very quickly and being replaced under warranty. As the suspension is the same, it maybe worth getting it checked out. My 2002 Series 1 HDi has clunked from 3000 miles, and has now done 36500 and the wheels haven't come off the wagon yet! Seriously, I checked the ball joints at 33000 by disconnecting them from the hubs and having a wiggle. I could find no play at all but must admit the joints did feel slacker than I would expect. Doncha just love Citroens :P

:D Just fueled the HDi up and it's worked out at 50.7 to the gallon. That will do nicely :D

:o Don't panic! Thats part of the dipstick.

Both of mine have the badge. Looks like Spanish build quality again....... :unsure:

What engine did you choose? Modutop. What a great idea they are! I think it's a totally unique feature and I haven't seen it in any other vehicle. My kids hide all there junk in the roof lockers and love the rear fan system. I keep all my junk in the rear locker, which seems to keep the rest of the car tidy! :rolleyes:

Sound about the same as mine. I work on 500 per tank.

Yup, my HDI only does on average 43 mpg, so I do agree it doesn't make sense as the 16 petrol seems only slightly less on mpg and on cheaper fuel. It probably works out the same to run but the purchase cost is more on the diesel so the 16 petrol has to be favorites. Contradicting myself I feel! It is down to personal choice, I wouldn't buy a petrol car as I prefer the "feel" of a diesel engine. I recently bought a LandRover as a toy/second car and one of the biggest consideration in buying was the fuel type. Diesel of course. Ya pays ya money.........:P The Picasso is alot more economical I suppose because of the smoother lines and shape, not so much of the "rounded off brick" shape of the Berlingo. :D

The first £500 was the cash back deal at the time, not a negotiated reduction. No other reduction could be got as the model had only been out a matter of days. The further £500 came out of the blue from a phone call to fine out the delivery date. I have found the HDI and the 19D to give the same fuel figures, both are better on fuel than the 16 petrol.
