  1. I noticed the other day after braking and then accelerating I got a knock from the front of the car. Any idea what it might be? Engine mounts, Drive train, or suspension
  2. Thanks I might give that a go.
  3. I have been advised I need to replace the coolant on my 3.0 hdi how easy is it to do that, I've been quoted £126.00.
  4. Hi, I ended up paying £173 for the pipe and 1 hour labour £107 incl Vat.
  5. I managed to retreive the car and have now got a new quote from SB citroen, they only want £173 for the pipe and one hour labour, The breakdown of the prices on the first quote would make your eyes water!!!!!!!!
  6. I took the car to Evans Halshaw as my local independent wasn't interested, they quoted £545 to rectify the leak on cylinder supply pipe, that includes parts to the value of £280 I have to say I was a bit shocked. The strange thing is they diagnosed the cause without dismantling anything, because they don't have the parts the job can't be done till Tuesday so they said I could collect the car and bring it back Tuesday. Stranger still they texted me a link so I could watch a video of their "technician" visually identifying the leak. What would you expect £545 to buy you?
  7. Hi, my 2009 3.0 hdi saloon has just sprung a leak on the rear suspension, the pipe that joins the n/s/r cylinder (see attached) is weeping, has anyone had a similar problem? pipe.doc
  8. the blower works fine and you can hear the air flow roaring on full power but no air enters the cabin.
  9. 59 plate 3.0hdi Loving the car apart from hesitation and misfire but I can live with that, the real problem is after any prolonged motorway driving the climate control blows like it should but no air comes out. After a stop everything returns to normal, driving round town causes no problems. The code reader shows no faults and actuation test is all good. Any ideas?
  10. Hi, I'm having similar problems with my 3.0 Hdi , when the engine gets warm I get hesitation when moving off and then an intermittent misfire on light throttle at town speeds. I'm living with it for the time being but T junctions and roundabouts can be scary.
  11. Hi guys, climate control works great around town but half an hour on a motorway although blower is working very little or no air reaches the cabin. It sound like it's blocked, I did replace the pollen filter which didn't help. any ideas? thanks paul

Thanks Paul. Ps.I've spent 14 years with a fabulous Xm.
  13. Hi guys I'm on steep learning curve ,14 years with an XM 2.0 16v and now proud owner of a 59 plate C5 3.0 Hdi Exclusive, need all the help I can get, turbovette.( also own Corvette C3 Coupe Turbo) PVC
