  • Citroen C8 MPV (2003 - ) - 03 2.2 rear indicator bulb 9 Jun 2008 (Forum)
    Before I go to France later this year I would like to get a spare indicator bulb for the rear indicator. It's not a normal 21w bulb, last time I looked it was akin to a miniature H1 headlamp bulb. I remember asking for a spare when I bought the car but was told it was a special long-life bulb

  • Peugeot 607 (2000 - ) - 2004 2.2 HDi Particulate filter servicing 13 Apr 2008 (Forum)
    . According to the service record it was serviced at 80,000 miles. The 'filter clogged' warning light comes on from time to time and he naturally wants to sort it out. He lives in France but is frequently in the UK and he has been quoted 600 pounds Sterling by a UK Peugeot dealer to replace the filter and top

  • Getting across the Channel 6 Aug 2007 (Forum)
    I'm considering doing a Blighty run from France for the first time in quite a while. I want to avoid the Channel Pirates if I can but a western crossing would suit me, so - does anyone have any recent experience of the ferry that replaced P and O on the Portsmouth-Le Havre route? LD Lines I think

    myself wafting down to the south of France in one before boarding my luxury yacht, vodka martini in hand (shaken not stired), leggy blonde in my arm .... WAKE UP!! Yes I'm sure the ethics of it could be criticised, but this car is a pure work of art (headlights aside). It's seeing cars like
  • 97 Peugeot 406 1.8 gearbox problem 27 Jan 2007 (Forum)
    Today I have just travelled 650 miles from the south of france in 4th gear because I lost 5th gear. The problem developed relatively qucikly and I first noticed something was wrong when it crunched a couple of times putting it in 5th. The third time it made a terrible grumbling noise and popped out

  • Citroen EGS Gearbox 11 Dec 2006 (Forum)
    converters, nor suffer the whines inherent in a CVT. I see that in France you can get the C1/107/Aygo with an automated manual box. Why not here - it's the perfect 'box for city driving.
  • New car for me 22 Nov 2006 (Forum)
    I am looking at the Megane 165 GT. This is essentially a detuned 225 and a bit less OTT, less likely to get stolen. What other cars might be considered a rival that I should look at?

    the current for the starter motor. Is the design on this engine different? Access appears very poor. PS I am in France, the BoL (Haynes) is needless to say in the UK. The temperature is just on freezing, the nearest Ford dealer (who is v good) is closed until next week! Any ideas please. I need

    Hi, Sorry for the abbreviation above but I couldn't get evcerything in the heading. I've owned my C220Cdi Sports Coupe since new in July 2002. Last year on holiday in France I noticed that there was a squeaking noise which appears to come from the front suspension when the car goes over some
  • Order timescales for Audi 28 Feb 2005 (Forum)
    . They tell me that the other 4 cars ordered in the same allocation as mine are in the same position, but I never had any problem like this with the BMWs I have previously bought.

    only happened once before - oddly also in France, at Dunquerque. That time we were, er, outside another excllent restaurant.
