I'm Geoff - new member. Owned a number if Citroens starting with a GS years ago, then two XMs, a BX, two C5s, a C2, a C4, and now a newer C5 - a much better car. I have also owned a Lomax 223 (3 wheeler), a Pembleton Brooklands (4 wheeler) and now own a Burton Classic (4 wheeler Dutch made body) - all specials based on Citroen 2CV chassis and mechanics -  I am also a member of the Citroens Specials Club.

 

Just sold a Jag XF to get my 2010 C5 2.0 Exclusive as I couldn't stand the harsh ride and expensive ANNUAL (regardless of mileage) servicing plus the simple expense of running the thing. A real money pit!

 

Nice to get back to a lovely comfortable C5 and glide around.  Just hope it is reliable as Citroens do not have the best reliability count, my previous C5 [2005] seemed to spend most of its time in a garage - expensive thing it was.

Welcome to the forum.

 

On the C5 Technical section there is a pinned topic on Common Problems that is worth looking at. On the C5 (X7) model they seem to be prone to steering rack oil leaks and this is mentioned.
