Hi I'm New

[justjim]

Hi everyone I am a driving school instructor .

This is a cracking little car I have had mine since feburay 08 and have done 33,ooo miles with no problems no water leaks no huge serviceing cost's cheap on tax even better on fuel an excellent car.

I have noticed that a few owners are useing Citroen workshops for serviceing there was a ruleing in the eec back in the 80's about block examption,after you have had your first post delivery inspection carried out at 1500 miles take your car to be serviced at a good local workshop make sure they use citroen oil and parts and that they retain the invoices then your warrenty will still be covered .

I have been in the motor trade and started life working for citroen in the good old days of cx,2cv,gs,ami,dyane,etc I ended up working for Mercedes and all car companies are the same.

When you go for a launch of a new car as I did for xm,xantia,mercs aston etc they all fill you with the same crap they try and sell you the concept that this car is a world beater it's the best nothing comes close what a load of crap I was with Mazda europe in may 07 at the launch in germany of there new bread of cars same crap diffrent manufactor .so get wise they need you to take your car into there workshops there counting on you this is were the dealers make there money in labour and parts and the manufactors make theres in selling more parts to the dealers.

did you know that when I worked for mers a basic c class oil filter part number 1041800109 would be discounted to the dealer at 50% off!

so its like my job I get pupils who come from bsm or the aa we are all trained the same except these are huge companies that charge a lot for an hour I am on my own so no overheads and I get by on 20.00 an hour.

so good luck enjoy this great little car but don't bre ripped off by main agents and Citroen you should start to read the threads on this site and improve the seating covers there crap I'm haveing mine done under warrenty
