Hi Paul thank you for the time for writing a comprehensive reply. I can now carry get everything and have a go myself . I had my cam belt changed by Citroen recently and noticed there was no undertray which should make things a lot easier .

Hi there I always keep an eye on this forum really interesting and it has helped me on more than one occasion, I would like to change my oil on my C5 2litre hdi mk 3 it’s a 2009 model . What oil to use and tools do I need , Ive used the stealers for a couple of oil changes but would like to have a go myself . Thanks

Thanks for the reply I'm no mechanic so wasn't sure of what was involved . The service receptionist said it would take two hrs per side so what a rip off !!

Forgot to mention its C5 2009 2.0 HDI thanks

When's the last time the car had a service . Had mine doing that now and again then went in for full service oil change fuel filter etc it drove like a new car when I pulled away from the garage

Hi car has just been into the stealers for mot and interim nothing major just one or two bulbs blown but there is an advisory on the os & ns front lower arm rear bushes . Citroen have quoted a massive 801 quid to do the job . How long would you advise on driving this vehicle before getting the job done I know it's a length of string question and what would I expect to pay from an independent ball park figure .

Yes I've turned it off by mistake there's a thumb wheel on the left side that changes the display thanks

Forgot to mention it's a 2009 model hdi VTR model thanks for looking

Hi just wondering if anyone else had a similar problem or shed some light my mph does not show in the middle of the display the analogue still works ? It's really handy seeing it when it's working you can concentrate on the road head easier instead of looking at the old analogue .

Hi thanks for the replies sorry if I'm gonna come across a little bit thick what's the procedure in disconnecting the battery and reconnecting just a bit worried about the cars computer cheers

Hi I've had the car for a year now it's not my primary vehicle as I use a van for my work . What I have noticed is that I can't get rid of economy mode even after the car has been on a decent run lets say a round trip of 30 miles a mix of motorway and local . Is this a sign that the battery is on its way out just wondering if anyone could shed some light on this.

Hi Paul the dealer charged me 750 inclusive for the steering rack to be reconditioned and put back on the car . I could have probably got it done a bit cheaper but I'm quite busy work wise don't have the time to shop around .

I took it into Citroen to have a look . I booked it in to have a level 2 service and told them about my boot problem . There was no power to the sw or lock so they started doing continuity checks and eventually found a broke wire under the dash ? Anyway repaired the wire and all is good . The steering developed an intermittent problem sometimes quite stiff to move when parking thought it might be low in fluid so asked them to have a look . Turned out it was leaking from the steering rack seals so told them to proceed and get the steering rack reconditioned anyway a lot better now but left with quite a hefty bill .

Hi I received the new lock from Citroen dealership in Nuneaton only 35 quid so that wasn't bad that's the good news so soon as I got home I was full of anticipation this would do it only took a few minutes to swop . Tried the remote fob nothing just the same result as before so back to the drawing board would the dealer be able to sort this out as the mot is due early sept so I could kill two birds with the same stone .

hi Paul I bridged the switch out nothing . Checked the switch while it was disconnected and out and done a continuity test on it got a reading so I've ordered one from my local Citroen dealer £ 35 quid so I didn't think that was too bad if that doesn't work I will give it to the dealer to have a look .I've ordered a new lock
