Yes - they're on mine too. Just a couple of days as I drove off, mine beeped. The display showed the rear n/s was down. Put the inflator on it and it showed 2bar when it should have been 2.5 Coming up to 8 years old, I'm wondering how much more life the batteries have got.

Hope you don't put your forum name in your Picasso...... :lol:

By next year I'll move the protective tube to a more central position. Then he won't see a problem.

Yes I think it can be but it needs to be done through the Lexia programme.

According to the DVLA, there's no record of the Saxo so presumably it's been exported or written off. The two C3s are both taxed and on the road.

Last year my C5 got an advisory - "Hand brake cables deteriorated." Eventually I got around to looking at them. Couldn't see a thing wrong with them. Maybe a few scratches on the thick protector that slides along the outer cable.. To keep the MOT happy, I covered all the exposed cable in heat shrink so it ended up looking new. I confidently took the car for MOT last week. I couldn't believe it when the guy told me he'd renewed the advisory. According to him the outer cable was breaking away from the guide tube. Today I've had the wheel off to have a look. What he's looking at is the protector that's moved to the top of the outer cable.

I could give her a hand :rolleyes:

On my C5 the parking sensors can be switched off on the dashboard. Which is what I do. I fitted my tow bar in 2005 without using the dedicated wiring kit. Also it's a flanged tow ball so its presence is picked up by the sensors continuously.

So who's got my old BX? According to the DVLA website, it's still around but on SORN. https://www.taxdisc.direct.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/app/enquiry?execution=e1s1 It's a BXTZD Estate which I bought new in 1991. I kept it till 1998 when I changed to a 2.1 Xantia. I gave the BX to my daughter who kept it for another two years. We sold it in 2000 with 110000 miles on it. Wouldn't it be nice if someone on the forum came along and said "Yeah I've got it in my garage." Here she is about to board the ferry in Bilbao

Just popped in for a cuppa

Sorry that link doesn't seem to work. Try this one. It's the same report: Diesel_fuel_additive_test.pdf

Yes - I belong to a caravanning forum and loads of guys there are claiming outstanding results from using it. However, have a read of this report. file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/My%20Documents/Downloads/Copy%20of%20Diesel%20fuel%20additive%20version%203.pdf Test result No. 7 deals with 2-stroke oil. It also says that it's not compliant with ULSD and may harm later engines. Unfortunately it doesn't say why - but I think I'll stick with Millers.

If it's the passenger side, at least you won't have an intermediate bearing in the way. Your first difficulty may be in undoing the driveshaft bolt. You'll need a good socket and lots of leverage. If you have a Haynes book for almost any Puegeot or Citroen you'll find a run down for the job there. Also this video may help.............

Pleased to hear that something is being done at last. Forum members aren't going to visit if they are faced with dozens of pages pharmaceutical adverts each time they log on. Long may it last!!

Yes - I believe they started up their business there around 125 years ago

Congratulations on solving your problem so easily and getting your car back on the top line.

I've used Millers additives for years on our four family cars. I'm convinced that it keeps the injectors clean and reduces the smoke. So far this year I've taken three of the cars for MOT and they've all done well on the smoke test. The Saxo even got a quick pass on the first rev. This is what I use:- http://www.millersoils.co.uk/automotive/road-car-fuel-treatments-additives.asp

As yours is a 2007 car, if you had the filter removed you would have no trouble with the MOT. The filter box is still there - it's just that there's not much inside it. Also the ECU has to be rewritten so that the engine computer knows that there's no regeneration process. Again there's nothing to show as far as the MOT is concerned. The engine will produce just a little bit more smoke on the test result but well within the 3M-1 maximum. But with later engines (maybe after 2008?) I believe there's a lower maximum pass figure, so I wouldn't suggest filter removal on them.

For what you'll pay for the fluid and then to the dealer for the Lexia visit, you could have the filter drilled and the ECU remapped. I had my FAP removed over a year ago, all without any problems arising.

Presumably you haven't had the car from new. If you had, the salesman would have written your name on the page and then you would have been able to read a Citroen joke. Ie: that "Citroen undertakes to give you complete satisfaction." It then asks for your agreement that you received the handbook and maintenance guide and also that you've been given an approximate date for the service department. The page was then signed and stamped and taken out.

A favourite fault on heater motors causes the motor to blow at full blast. The usual culprit are the two transistors on the motor. They look like these - although these ones may not be the same as what's in your motor: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-Peugeot-heater-blower-motor-fix-kit-FW26025A1-/221211922422?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3381420ff6

How much you have left in your tank will depend upon mileage. The total capacity of the tank is 5 ltrs and the refill kit can be bought from dealers or if you want to get it from ebay, look for PAT fluid. But refilling the tank is only half the story, then you've got to tell the ECU that it's been refilled. That requires a Lexia to connect to the ECU.

What are you wanting to change. Some of the functions need to be connected to Lexia.

Eolys fluid - or if bought on ebay is called PAT fluid - comes in 5ltr refill kits. Make sure you get the correct one. Do a search on here for details of using the kit. The eolys fluid is injected into the fuel tank by the car's ECU which works out how much diesel you've put in the tank. Refilling the eolys tank is comparatively easy, but the ECU has to be reset so that it knows how much fluid is there. The other alternative is to get rid of the particle filter altogether then you don't need any fluid. Again the filter core is just knocked out of the box, but the ECU needs reprogramming so that it knows. Mine has been done and it causes no problems.
