  This may sound really stupid but I would like to hear from anybody with a premature clutch failure on Citroen/Peugeot, I am only interested in 2.0 HDI (138) on a six speed gearbox. My family owns four C5's and we have had to replace three of these due to weak diaphragm springs NOT due to wear

• Main dealer advises not to buy their new cars 22 Jan 2009 (Forum)
  Enquiring about the whole range of diesels - advised best not to buy any of them due to DPF`s and wifes ultra short journey use. Top marks for honesty from the sales guy - who consulted the service manager while I was on the phone. But what a choker for a desperate industry that needs to sell new

  I'm looking for a s/h diesel, I see a lot of turbo versions and I'm giving them a miss as I have the idea that they are not as economical. Given the equivalent engine size and car is this correct? As far as I'm concerned the whole idea of owning a diesel is for economy bearing in mind
