coastline taxis Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 If you swapped the part over and it fixed it then you put old part back on and fault reappeared. Is that not the answer to your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul.h Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 ant7, welcome to the forum, you will find a lot of helpful people here with a lot of experience who will go out of their way to help each other. You should be able to find the location of your nearest dealer from the Citroen.co.uk web site under Find a Dealer and entering your postcode. My local dealer is Barclays in Warrington and I get most parts from them.There are some comments on a scrap yard under the C3 pages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastline taxis Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Sorry if i was a bit short in my reply. With electrical components you really are better off getting them new from the dealers rather than the scrap yard and most discount stores will not take sensors back in the unlikley event of a fault. Youl enjoy your c5 as they are a very reliable car with only a couple of niggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
