1998 Citroen Xsara SX review from UK and Ireland
"Not knowing its history is a worry, which is a problem buying 2nd hand cars, doesn't feel safe"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Bought this car as I know someone who's making bio diesel and thought it would save me money.
I had a light flash up on my way into work this morning, just telling me to STOP, then it went off as quickly as it came on, anyone any ideas what it means?
There is an awful clunk at the rear end, which seems to happen when brakes are applied sharply or I go over a speed bump, and that's done slowly! Nothing appears loose, but we can't find the problem.
General comments?
Not as much view as I'm used to with my previous car, I tend to have to kind of stand up when I'm reversing due to the slanting and height of the rear screen.
