  1. Happy to report it has self cured
  2. Looking into this topic reveals it is not a straight forward bulb change with extra space wanted for cooling fans and determining if your car has projector or reflector units, different LED layouts, must admit the Youtube videos show a huge improvement in illumination IF a reputable brand is used but there is still a big question mark over their legality and an MOT station could reject them, has anyone converted ?
  3. Your last part sounds a good option, live with it, cheers
  4. My C4 pic has started unlocking the tailgate when any other door is opened, when parking up the central locking will not operate until the tailgate is slammed shut, could this turn out to be a pricey repair, the car is 61 reg
  5. Somewhere among my tools I still have the hand held one bought from Halfords back in the '70s, with 3 interchangeable formers to create a range of ends to suit various vehicles
  6. Thanks for that, you just get the horrible feeling its your own computer at fault, thanks again, just keep trying I guess
  7. Dont know about others but its been down about 4 days for me
  8. This will be an option, had it on my xpic many years ago, prepare for collapse of drivers seat squab, typical fault, citroen blames drivers not knowing how to get into a car
  9. For want of entertainment I watch police programs quite often and the situation on insurance appears to have changed over the years, it seem that for instance unless you are actually named on the policy you will be driving illegally just having a test drive in a second hand car even with the seller's permission, and how about taking over the driving in an emergency, its got barmy with rules and driver, top that off with non-transfer of remaining road-tax, its tax on the car being shuffled onto the driver, very underhand tactics
  10. What is amiss with the picasso site it has thrown a 404 fault up every time i try to open it, exactly the same if i go direct to the citroen picasso owners forum, surely this is not a spin-off from adblock plus, no other site or topic is effected
  11. Renault / Dacia have found a gap in the market, people want a strong, robust vehicle devoid of all the bells and whistles that have turned people away from Citroen by the complexity, expense and unreliability of their parts, Citroen has to hit back with its own trimmed model where you can choose what options and extras you want, how basic or how sofisticated, but the price has to be very low or they will miss the boat again

    A/c

    Or turn temp up a little
  13. I would be tempted to go to the cop shop and ask them to show the documentation that backs up the statement on the illegal light, I see enough vehicles sporting a blue light at the front which I understood was for emergency vehicles only
  14. I had service message, reason was fob battery needed changing, ok now
  15. Is there something about a fuel shutoff in event of a collision, may it have been activated by violent braking ? just a thought
  16. To be quite honest as long as it starts and runs with a good mpg figure its good enough, a lot of Citroens out there wont do any of this
  17. Actually now got used to it & don't notice if I change how I juggle clutch and gears, having said that if it has just started doing it on yours its possible there is a fault
  18. The day following that program a local garden center was having a Fiat 500 promo in its car park, didn't see anybody showing the slightest interest in the cars, wonder why
  19. Mobile tyre fitting not much good if you have a damaged wheel which was either the cause or caused by the puncture, is this RAC move a crafty 'join us' plot. Still maintain we should all be provided with a full size spare as we were before
  20. whats your location Wills
  21. Selling garage eventually overhauled the EGR then after consulting a specialist changed one of the fuse boxes, believe it was the one on top of the battery or near to that, so far now had 3 months of trouble free motoring
  22. I had areas of the black interior door trim turning white, used a rag with a bit of 'Bumper Back to Black' on it worked a treat, that was 6 months ago, still black.
  23. nice swap
  24. Trying to picture my dash, difficult, but to the bottom left of my display are 2 buttons, one of them is held down, then ignition is switched on, not sure if there is a countdown or a straight reset then release button
  25. Yes piggy-back on reverse light feed
