Hello (new Citroen owner)
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 6:43 pm
Joined a little while ago, but just got round to posting here. Bought W887TBH in October- 2.0 turbo. My first Citroen- joining a Jaguar, Audi, Austin Healey and a VW. Technically it's my partner's car- but I'm having all the fun!
It has had 4 new tyres, 4 new spheres, all fluids and filters changed, an ABS sensor, front brake pads, new back box, wiper blades, headlamp bulbs, an assortment of dashboard bulbs, heater blower motor transistors, LH display repaired, parcel shelf repaired. And the fuel rail repaired after I managed to snap the outlet off. Apart from the tyres all done myself or with help from a colleague, so fortunately pretty cheap!
All this makes it sound like a heap, but underneath it's a very clean, straight car. A very small amount of surface rust on a couple of exposed seams which I've sorted, but otherwise perfect. Spare wheel carrier full of holes, of course.
Remaining jobs include getting the LH window working, getting the steering wheel radio controls working (worked when I got it, not now), sorting a leak through the LH D pillar into the boot, re-gassing the air con, and an assortment of bits of trim to sort out, and repairing/replacing front the damaged nose cone.
It's a lovely drive, and very comfortable. I do regular long runs across Europe- looking forward to doing some of them in this.
