Re: Citroen Service Box - Charges
This also came as a bit of a shock to us on FCF, with Parts access now being charged at €150 per marque per annum, for frequent users (such as forum staff). Details there about how we are dealing with this.
For individual owners/repairers, the choice is the Parts access tariffs listed above (and on the site). Grim news.

Predicted a few years ago as likely to happen.
Expect the legal "Cease & desist copyright notices" to those who set up public methods to supply information
Next stage will removal of uneconomic data from site.
