Thank you Paul for your comment. I ended up scrapping my C5 in Robbersland because 1000 £ was the price. I am in the market for another one, spoiled by the ride quality unmatched by any other car except the old Lexus 400. Thanks again,

Hi me again , they showed it to me and there seems to be leaking from where the cylinder meets the sphere due to corrossion, they insist to change the whole kit, sphere cylinder bushes o-rings and the whole kit. Could it be that only one part needs to be changed?

Hi, After a long trip in Europe I had my rear left suspension set fail in Switzerland from all possible places. Could anyone give me a ball park figure of the cost to repair it back in the UK? Over here they are asking for the equivalent of 1000 pounds, ten times the cars worth. (2002 c5 hdi hatchback 90 bhp)

Thank you Paul, much obliged.

Thank you JohnDouglas, much obliged.

Hi all, My rear left brake caliper was found to touch the rim and make a grinding noise under moderate braking. The garage swapped wheels but the problem was not solved, he was puzzled and his solution was to grind down the caliper a bit. Has this happened to anyone ? Could it be a serious safety problem? Thanks Silas

Greetings Citroen fellas, My 2002 Hdi 90 pulls to the left and has its front left tyre wear badly on the outside. I have had the wheels aligned twice and the pulling was reduced ( it still pulls). The car passed MOT two weeks ago where they found no issues. By Googling I saw that this can be a camber adjustment problem but camber cannot be adjusted on the C5 .There is a clanging noise coming from the left front side when going over small bumps on pavement and I was told that the drop link must be changed on that side. Could the drop link cause the pulling and the wear? Any ideas, hopefully inexpensive will be appreciated. Thank you in advance Silas

Thank you John for your reply. A refurbisher gave me Garret 706977 for replacement but anything used I find has part numbers such as 9645247080 as for example here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-C5-XSARA-PICASSO-PEUGEOT-206-307-2-0-HDI-DIESEL-TURBO-CHARGER-9645247080/261618946465?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3Dabce6c7be84342bfbf8ec0fb5a5207a1%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D161437044204&rt=nc and salvage yard will not match it to my car. Is there a way to physically see the turbo and take a pic of it? Thanks in advance Silas

Hi everyone I just got diagnosed with a failed turbo and quoted 800 pounds to fix. (02- 2.0 hdi 90) The car is 02 plate and not worth that investment. Tried to find a used replacement but I am not sure how to id the part number so I get a compatible replacement. Any help is appreciated Thanks Silas

Greetings everyone, One of my light covers ( lens?) Begun getting hazy . Is there a way to clean it or replacement is the only option ? Thanks :-)

Thanks a lot Paul, got back this afternoon checked the coolant level and it was full to the max so I started her and none of the previous lights came on, no problems whatsoever so I assume my French lady was capricious in the morning.nevertheless I do appreciate and thank you for the advice.

The Temperature red light on as soon I started it this morning, it has been working fine no overheating and the such. Anything i can check before i get it towed to the garage? Thanks

Hi everyone , My 2002 2.0 hdi 90 LX bought a month ago had only one key, how can I tell if it has central locking and how I can get a key with buttons to lock-unlock the car? G Thanks :-)

My old 2002 LX turns on lights as soon as I start her' are they daytime running lights? I have tried to turn them off( press the end of the lights stack with the key on position 1) but as soon as she starts she turns them on. Also, they go off when I use the left indicator so there is a short somewhere. Any ideas as to turn them off permanently or at least correct the malfunction with the indicator as to I do not want to have opposite coming vehicles thinking I am signaling with the lights off

Any quick and inexpensive fixes for a not working rev counter on a 2002 hdi 90 fellas?

Thanks Paul for the prompt and very accurate response I will fit a two line as soon as I get one from eBay

Cheers Paul I just confirmed they r OK.yesterday I bought 4 brand new Dunlop blue response and seem to work very well with the C5.

On a (much) older display for 2002 LX does not light up are there buls to be replaced? Also it gives very limited info time temp radio and status info such as door open etc but none of the other info such as fuel consumption range and such. Is this because of the LX being the basic build ? Can it be replaced with one that shows more?

Thanks for the welcome John. I am trying to ask my questions on the proper threads and searching for existing answers, I am sure mine are not unique. Thanks :-)

Hi all, My 02 hdi came with 195 65 r15 (bought a month ago) are they the wrong tyres since I see 205 65 r 15 for the steel L wheels here?

Hi everybody, I have had a 98 Berlingo 1.4 petrol that did 324.000 KLM with minimum maintainance and no complains. I just bought a 2002 C5 LX Hdi 90 bhp with 71000 miles. Had it for three weeks discovered a few glitches, nothing major And so far I am happy with it. Looking forward to enjoying trouble free motoring just like my beloved Berlingo
