• Tipo won't start with plug #3 on ... 13 Sep 2005 (Forum)
  Saturday was very, very wet here. Had to take the Tipo though torrential rain and very big puddles, but seemed fine. Came to start it later, not at all happy. Only just prepared to run, and not on all cylinders. Essentially it seems that connecting plug 3 causes it to go very lumpy and stall

  Hello. I remove the key from the ignition and the engine continues to run. It's an intermittent problem. I tried using the spare key, it makes no difference, the problem still occurs. The engine finally stops by itself after I remove the key - it takes anything from 5 secs to 2 mins. Any ideas

• Xsara poor running 18 Jun 2007 (Forum)
  We have a 2001 Citroen Xsara 2.0i 16v (137 bhp) which on occasions doesn't run quite as it should. Sometimes it is fine, but on other occasions there seems to be a hesitancy.
