2006 Citroen C8 LX review from UK and Ireland

WEnt on holiday with 4 children after picking the car up the day before with delivery mileage only.

The car cut out after 150 miles, doing 60+ MPH, no electronics at all working, no lights absolutely nothing. I managed to coast and get off a fast A road to a stop... Reset itself after 15 minutes - the dealer said take it back ASAP. Fault found = nothing.

Since then at regular periods the Air con/pollen system fails, the CAM sensor turns the car into "limp" mode and it dies without warning.

Contacted a Citroen dealership who refused to touch it as Citroen wasn't paying for any warranty work to take place unless previously approved by Head Office, so any investigative work was not covered

Late one night it died in the middle of a contraflow on the M4, my pregnant wife had to climb a central reservation barrier and be rescued by the Police.

It has since had a new auto gear box installed, CAM sensor changed, and on Tuesday night it went again.

Loss of power etc... RAC diagnostics reads the ECU that gives a fault code of P1336 CAM sensor out of range.

Advice was take it to the dealer to get it checked over - the two local dealers won't touch it - so it's a 50 mile trek to another dealer that hasn't seen the car before!

Plus it's out of warranty now - I will never buy another Citroen as long as I live...

If you want an MPV, don't buy a Citroen, buy any and I mean any other MPV, the C8 is a total and utter pile of rubbish. I don't care if I have to buy another sensible MPV, but this s/crap heap has go to go...
