Bonjour

Hi,

We have a 2007 C4 Grand Picasso [2.0 Diesel, Exclusive, Automatic], and my wife has just purchased a 2002 C5 2.2HDi, automatic Estate off an Ex pat website in France.

I am very excited about the C5 as my uncle swears by them,he is an retired carpenter and judges most vehicles by their ability to carry sheets of ply board, and the load space at the back of the C5 looks vast :D

I am mechanically dyslexic, meaning as soon as I pick up a spanner I loose the ability to comprehend even the simplest instruction and more often than not end up making the problem worse. 

So I would ask you all for patience and understanding in anticipation of the daft questions I may well be posting. 

 

 

P.S -The Haynes manual for the C5 I just purchased off e bay, excludes the 2.2HDi models....Oh Joy.

Welcome to the forum.

 

The C5 2001 to 2008 model must be one of the largest load carriers for an estate. The Haynes manual covers most things on the 2.2 hdi but not the engine so it is still needed if you do your own maintenance. The French RTA C5 manual covers the 2.2 hdi  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rta-654-1-Citro%C3%ABn-C5-Diesel/dp/2726865410/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1455375261&sr=8-5&keywords=Citroen+C5+book

and the Citroen service box covers it (and your other car) and can be obtained through ebay, for example http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Citroen-Service-Box-1-2014-TIS-EPC-WDS-/381321373493
