Thank you Paul for your reply, no hand book in the under seat boxes, pity. Yes it could well be a bit of debris in the box, the noise is mentioned in some of the service reports last year. I would so like to fix all the problems, but it has done 150000 plus the dents, I know the sensible thing to do is run it and look for a low milage one which was the original intention. We purchased our Xantia at 26000 three years old for £7000 and it has been great, if I had not been so mean and changed the cambelt it would not have died at 75000 : ( Bit hairy backing an auto in the garage for the first time, I am 71 and have always driven manual cars. PS There were no advisories on the MOT. Are there any sites where the hand book can be downloaded, it would save pressing all the buttons ? God Bless Spiff

Hallo I am no expert with the C5 as I have only just aquired one, it came with a gearbox problem so I have been reading up on the faults and replacing the oil. From what I read about 2liters drans out at a time, so if you replaced this with 3 liters it was over filled. Later on if I understand what you did correctly you drained 500ml so reduced the total amount of oil. I have read that over filling caused problems. Also that the max over fill is 500ml I think so it is within spec now, but ask others to be sure. My C5 is a 2003 auto petrol with leather seats, cost £200 : ) God Bless Spiff

Good evening from a wet Mullion Cove Cornwall. We have owned a BX and then a zantia from 2000 till a few weeks ago when the cam belt broke at 75000 : ( My fault for not changing it, such a shame as the car had been garaged all those years. I could not get it home to our garage and £900 was more that I was going to pay. Found a C5 2003 1997 petrol automatic estate 10 miles away in Helston for £200, nice leather seats. Bought as a temporary car as it is not so easy in Cornwall to find one. It has a crease in the passenger side front and rear doors, no too bad Plus filler in the strip between the rear door and the rear wheel. Slight rattle in the cartelistic converter not much been there a while looking at the service notes. Auto gear box periodically goes into service mode, apparently it can go to Plymouth and back 150 miles or a couple of miles. Stopping and a restart clears it, I was told of all these faults when I purchased it : ) There is a clonk not too bad but there over bumps, from reading I think is the drop links ? I may try an oil change on the auto box, but boy that stuff it pricy any inexspensive substitutes ? Have had a look round for a drivers instruction book to find out what all the knobs do but no luck so far ? Nice car though, has been serviced every year lots of money spent on it. God Bless Spiff : )
