I'm sorry, but you two really do need to get out more. The words 'Citroen C5' and 'Desirable' really do not go together.

I have had my 2.0 Hdi C5 Estate for 6 weeks now i have done 5000 miles which included a long drive to Spain and back. I am happy to say the car has not missed a beat, I am really pleased with all aspects of the car and I would certainly buy another one.

'I am happy to say the car has not missed a beat'
I should think not! 500K miles without missing a beat would be worth shouting about, but 5K?

My C5 Estate 2.2HDi Excellence has 8,500 on the clock, and not missed a beat. But, I have a problem and am wondering if you or any one you know of has experienced a similar problem. My car caught fire recently. The fireproof cover attached to the underneath of the bonnet caught fire, apparently, according to Citroen, probably caused by a lighted cigarette end! Given that the engine compartment is practically enclosed, I doubt it. I would be pleased to hear from you or any one who may have had a similar experience.

I have had my C5 2.2 HDi for about the same time and have driven to South of France etc. Have you experienced or know of any one else who has had a fire in the engine compartment? The fireproof cover attached to the underneath of the bonnet caught fire on my car recently. I am aware of similar instances and all Citroen would say is that it would probably be a lighted cigarette end! given that the engine compartment is practically enclosed, I am surprised at their answer. Have you or any one you know of had a similar experience? If so, I would be pleased to hear from you.

I am not aware of any recalls. Great car until - there was a fire in the engine compartment. The fireproof cover attached to the underneath of the bonnet caught fire. Apparently caused by a cigarette end! Have you had any experiences of this? I would like to hear from you.
