Had a C5 myself and loved it. Only real problem for me was the passenger rear window relay failed. An expensive job through Citroen so did it myself for £50. C5 is a much maligned and underated car.

Make sure you check the oil regularly.....one minute its on the dipstick, next minute it will need 3 litres.

 

Also worth keeping an eye on the door lock mechanisms.......if they start to become unpredictable get them changed before they jam the door shut.

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Just a quick tip from me. Get to know your Service Department at your local Citroen Dealer (preferably a family run one, not a big chain of multiples) and build a relationship with the Service Manager. When your car is in for repair or service, you can trust them on price and works carried out.

 

If my Service Manager told me black was white, I would believe him!

 

Enjoy.

Many thanks for the advice,

I have been talking to the local mechanic and he has advised me on the cam belt. As she has not done may miles 50,000 (1800 16v petrol) could any one tell em on the milage that it should be changed

 

Cheers

Sir Kfk

 

I would have had a Pluriel but SWMBO would have gone nuts at me.

 

I didn't know there was a Mini forum. Not as exciting as Citroen one I bet.

 

Anyway a Mini is for 3 years, Citroen is for life ha ha.

 

Any news on the new C5 later this year before I order then? I know what your answer is but can you give me a sneak answer?

 

Thanks
