  1. Thank you for that. :) I also have another quick question. Does anyone know where I can get the drain plug (in case I need a new one) and it's seal from online ? Thank you in advance.
  2. Hi everyone, I have a quick question. Does the C1 petrol (Toyota VVTi 1 litre) engine's coolant drain plug use a sealing washer ? Thank you everyone in advance.
  3. Hi everyone, I have found the exact opposite with my 2007 1 litre petrol Citroen C1 I bought a few days ago. When I test drove it (before I bought it) a few days ago, I was impressed with it's comfort, road manners (I was expecting it to understeer) and the engine's ability to pull from low revs. At about 50 mph, it was pretty quiet and that was with the driver's window open. I haven't taken it to 70 yet but I'm sure it will easily cope with that. The clutch on that car was really light too. My one does have a minor water leak, but from what I have read, the leaks usually comes from the high level brake light. A new genuine Citroen C1/Toyota Aygo/Peugeot 107 high level brake light (with a new seal) costs about £20-odd from eBay and it's the simple matter of swapping them out. I will soon found out wether that will stop the very minor leak or not. I can't say the same about my fiancée's 2004 Citroen C3. The front seats hurt my back after about an hour or so of driving and the driving position is fairly uncomfortable as well. I also think the C3's rearward visibility is fairly poor due to it's small door mirrors, which makes parking more difficult than a C1 (and a lot more difficult than a Reliant Rialto). I also dislike it's 7 segment display speedometer, which cannot be easily read at a very quick glance. Apart from that it's 70 bhp 1.4 HDi engine (different to the C1's 55 bhp 1.4 HDi) pulls quite well, reasonably quiet and is economical on fuel.
