Citroen C8, year 2003, 2.0 petrol version, Automatic. Ok last friday drove the car out, ABS fault popped up, then in succession the Auto gear fault, then something like brake fault, and the airbag fault but this usually is intermittent, then car gets stuck in i believe is 3rd gear possibly as i couldn't go up the hill after stopping the car. Really annoying i wish i could burn the damn thing down to the ground. Tiptronic gears don't work as well so i cant use the +- to shift the gears. im guessing its the auto gear selector switch, as the dealer replaced it with a used part before i bought it as when i was testing it back then the +- couldn't be used, and he told me he swapped it for used part and it worked since up until now. So my guess is pointing to that however whole bunch of errors like the ABS and etc popped up. Went into lexia and found all these errors below, tried to erase them but couldn't as it says permanent errors, what do i do next im not sure where is it pointing to maybe you guys can help out here? im at a point where once i fix these issues i think im probably done and try to get rid of it as fast as i can. I really love the car as its once of the most comfortable cars i've had and its so spacious to fit the whole family in, but having it working for only half a month everytime is getting really annoying. Even my local mechanic is getting tired of seeing it. I've also got an intermittent antipollution error which is in another thread that i've yet to solve. Fyi parts that i've changed so far:- Throttle position sensor Brake master Cylinder (brakes been spongy and going deep whenever pressed on, no leaks, changed the cylinder and still the same issue so need to check other parts im guessing the ABS fault could be related here) Timing belt change, fan aux belts, water pump, oil seals. Replaced ATF fluids however it was done by a citroen specialist so they didn't change it at the required temperature so not sure how badly it would cause issues with the box. Don't think they change the gearbox seal though. This was done maybe 8 mths back. New alternator New Aircon compressor New Power steering switch (due to leakage, however i still find the reservoir loosing fluids but can't pinpoint where) Screen shots of the errors below from lexia:- What do i do next?

Hi there, I have a 2003 C8 and it has just failed its MOT for a few bits all but one are now fixed, The last remaining problem seems to be even testing the garage? The alto level lights are set two low, we found the small Allen key night adjuster on the top of the light unit but this was already At its max height!? They have now suggested taking it to a main dealer? But this is starting to sound expensive!! I don't so pose anyone has any ideas on Somthing else to try? Many thanks Adam.
