Hi all. Thank you for the advice, think I will try a clutch in another car first before I spend the money on a replacement. Cheers Lee

Hi Paul Many thanks for the reply and the welcome to the forum. My code is EYPC** - Do the stars mean anything or is it just EYPC ? I will check the eolys level this evening for peace of mind. The clutch is a funny one, as I do quite a lot of town driving it is letting the car down being so stiff,, any idea how much I would be looking to get a new one fitted. Thanks for the info on the steering rack, could you explain how I can access the input shaft, or if it is in the pinned topic I will look there. Finally I was wondering what anyone thought od the 160,000 mile interval on the timing belt change, is it okay to go to this or would getting it done at 104,000 be overkill? Thanks again. Lee

Hi all I have recently bought a 2009 C5 2.0hdi VTR + Saloon with 103,000 on the clock, previously had a Xantia and the wife drives a C3 so I am happy enough with the Citroen brand, I have had the car for about four weeks now and it seems a cracking big motor exactly what I need with a growing family, the car has been serviced every 12500 miles and I have just had a full service done at an independent garage as the last one was done at 90,000. Can anyone help me with the items below. The clutch on the car seems very stiff, no grinding, slipping or shuddering it is just hard work especially in built up traffic, is this normal on these or is there something I can do to lighten it up, compared to the C3 and my old Passat it is very heavy.How can I tell what paint colour the is? I have a few chips etc. that I would like touched up?How can I check the level of this eloys fluid that is mentioned all the time?As I said any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Lee
