"A bit of a dog at present"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The front seats sink while driving.

Noises from the rear suspension.

The finish on the alloy wheels is peeling off.

Difficult or impossible to engage reverse gear.

Head lights flicker when the hydraulic pump motor starts up.

Vibration through the steering wheel. I have had new tyres and the wheels balanced twice. But still vibrates.

Vague throttle pedal, the car is very difficult to drive smoothly. New injectors have been fitted, but the car is just the same.

Incorrect messages from the computer saying "Diesel additive low "and "Air bag failure".

Not all doors unlock when asked.

Windows not closing with remote plip.

Plus many more...

General comments?

Could be a very nice car, it's a shame Citroen can't sort out all the problems with it.

May be worth buying in 2005.

It's Now July 2004, the car has been performing much better since it had new front and rear suspension fitted.

Lights still flicked as there is no cure and reverse is still difficult to engage.

Are you aware that the HDI Diesel engines up to 2Ltr from the Citroen and Peugeot range is now also fitted into Ford TDCi cars.
