hehe.....here's mine then!! http://www.mellowms.f2s.com/100_0372%20(Small).JPG

I bought my car when I was 18, insurance with Direct Line was £1,200 fully comprehensive with guaranteed courtesy car, 14k miles business cover....all I had under my belt at that point was a Pass Plus, skid pan certificate and 1 years driving experience in my old car........

Spot of Chasetown in Cannock - superb garage couldn't fault them
-
now that is odd..they sent it you in writing? Can't believe that Halfords would bother manufacturing something if it were not needed, however.......
-
That's a bit odd mate - cos when I asked Citroen UK they said I definitely did need them for my xenons when I went abroad - and Halfords do list seperate deflectors for C4 standards and C4 xenons.....
-
No me neither actually, I'm kinda tempted to take mine in a bit earlier....

Hmmm could very well be then!!

1st Disappointment With Citroen & Navidrive (rt3)
lee_marshuk replied to lee_marshuk's topic in C4 - Technical
Just an update - I can confirm that I am now in possession of the Navteq 2006/07 CD for the UK, which has a banner on the front stating "Now includes Traffic Information from TrafficMaster" - and the TMC works an absolute treat! -
Apparently the 2.0HDI's first service, aside from the quick check after you have the car, is at 20,000 miles.

Welcome to the forum, hope you enjoy your new C4!

It looks that way....perhaps you have to unplug the speed sensor connector and plug this in...and it loops back as stationary all the time? Seems an awful lot of money for just that, think my 140 quid would be going towards a little flat panel in its own right!

Think this is the link you're after mate.... http://www.french-power.com/product_info.p...tmodul-RT3.html

@sammy... Just out of interest, what was your conversation with these guys about Angel Tuning like?
-
best of luck let us know how it goes!
-

-
Glad to hear that one's solved - what are your new problems then?

1st Disappointment With Citroen & Navidrive (rt3)
lee_marshuk replied to lee_marshuk's topic in C4 - Technical
Hehe - Citroen head office has now impressed me! They called me back today, and I spoke to a girl who clearly knew what she was on about. She admitted point blank that Citroen (PSA) did not have any license with TMC in the UK, and I should not have been sold it on that understanding - great. Step 2 - the PSA group are currently signing with iTMC to provide TMC information in the UK for the next disk release later this year. Hoorah! Hope this might help someone! -

Hehe - I like the way the forum automatically puts Rubbish after R enault :rolleyes: -
Hello everyone, I'm posting this more for information than anything else for prospective NaviDrive customers. I purchased the NaviDrive unit with my brand new car, under the guarantee that I could use the TMC function in this country to help me avoid traffic jams - and to be honest this was the primary reason I spent to much on the RT3 NaviDrive unit - at £1400 it wasn't exactly cheap. However, TMC has never worked from the word go. My car has now been into the dealer for a couple of days at a time every 3 or so weeks to try and get it working - basically, the TMC light will come on for a little while, and then go off. The excuses coming directly from Citroen's technical were as follows:- 1: No station in this country broadcasts TMC. - Load of rubbish. Classic FM powered by iTMC does, Chrysalis radio does etc. And more to the point, if no station in this country does, then I shouldn't have been guaranteed it would work over here. 2: Must be a problem with the unit. - I solved that one. Took my car to France, TMC worked a dream over there. 3: I suggested perhaps there was a problem with the UK disc. I was told this was a load of rubbish since there is no TMC information stored on the CD. This was where I got angry, and started to do my research. The TMC information IS stored on the CD - in a folder called RDSTMC, which contains the decoder information for TMC which is country specific (hence why it is stored on the CD, as each country has a different country table and decoder). So, I examined each of the CDs in my pack. Guess which CD is the only one out of the whole European pack not to have an RDSTMC folder? Yep - the UK cd. So no wonder it doesn't work. Next step - I contacted Navteq to find out the situation - and found out some very interesting things. It seems that PSA (the Peugeot Citroen Group), who are the only car manufacturers incidentally to sell the Magneti Marelli RT3 Unit ("NaviDrive"), do NOT have a license with any of the TMC broadcasters over here to use TMC in the UK - hence why there is no RDSTMC folder on the CD. Quite shocked as I was, I told my story to NavTeq, who were most surprised Citroen guaranteed to me I could use TMC over here, and were most surprised their brochures advertised it as TMC capable in the UK - as it is simply not. So, armed with this, I telephoned Citroen UK in a little bit of a strop. I explained the whole works to them, and eventually I got a message from one of the technical admin team - who said "Yes, you're right, we do not have a license for TMC in the UK at all, and I'll look into it". Great. Renault (Rubbish) (Rubbish) were in the same boat last year, incidentally, but when people complained about the same situation, they got a license from iTMC, and then sent out a bulletin to all customers with NaviDrive, stating they could have a TMC enabled disk for another £40 - which to be honest I'm even willing to pay since I am desperate for this TMC function to work. Hope this might help someone! - I'll let you know the outcome from Citroen.

@hertsnminds Meant to tell you mate, since my clutch sensor was replaced, I've never *touches wood* had the problem with that since! :D
