1999 Citroen Xsara VL review from UK and Ireland
"Good, almost great, and I will be keeping it for a while longer yet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Back brakes seized one day for a short while, then became free. When sent to the dealer in Enfield, they recommended replacing th whole back axle. And this was less than 10,000 miles after they replaced the brakes and cylinders before.
Only replaced the catalytic converter and exhaust 2 weeks ago (Aug '06) at 125,000 miles.
General comments?
Has been very reliable at this mileage. Passed the NCT (D0E/MoT) with flying colours in 2005, and I am confident it will do the same in 2007.
