Back To C3

[jazzster]

well after 3 years without c3, I have retruned to one bought a C3 1.4HDi 16v Exclusive, down graded from 2.0 auto picasso. last C3 was Sensodrive which i hated when at roundabouts and junctions, bought this one despite a few things wrong when i test drove it, i had been standing for a whle so batttery was dead, but started straight away with booster connected, took it a test drive suprised by the power, and seem ok, but for power steering kept going heavy, airbag light was on and aircon wouldnt come on at all until engine reved and when it charged battery a bit, the auto on aircon didnt work, the n/s hadlight was full of water that seems to be a fault has the other i looked at had same problem.

told garage about the things wrong and he said straight away he would do them and if they werent done i dont have it, this was thurday he phoned friday to say it should be done for saturday and to phone, on sat it wasnt ready in the morning but i picked it up a 4pm.

 

Had newheadlight fitted, airbag light was done and aircon worked properly, the power steering fault was actually a suspension problem, any all seems fine and went a bit of a run yesterday everything seems to work, miss the fuel computer, and i have one that plugs in the diagnostic socket but it doesnt work but did in the picasso, so not happy with that but not major problem, time will tell how well it does with MPG but anything is better than 22 to 26 MPG of the picasso.

 

car is 6 years old and only done 33600 miles , looked at 2 desire models and they had 45 and 66 thousand on them and they werent up to much and lacked the extras i had in the pic was going to have the 45000 one but noticed the paintwork was respray on the bumper and it put me off.

Hope it gives me some years of happy motoring without too many problems
