I'll bet the handbrake lever travel problem is due to the brake mechanism sticking in the 'applied' position at the caliper. The mechanism seems to seize and...
... Peter, Check the rear brake calipers. I know it sounds unlikely, but I had almost exactly the same sound - particularly over bumps at low speed, and it...
OK - that's obviously quite a lot more than me. Is that mainly 5th gear driving? What diesel do you usually use? ... an '04' 2.0 HDI VTR (110) manual & am very...
Hi graeme, I've been following this saga with you! I mentioned that I had to top up my coolant level, and since there was nothing in the handbook I too assumed...
I was hopeful for you when they said it was the water pump but I believe when the head gasket fails it is common for the water pump seals to also fail under...
Hello Everybody, ... Do you know the saying, Paul: "if you speak 3 languages, you're trilingual, if you speak 2 languages, you're bilingual, if you speak 1 ...
That's what I was reckoning myself, but the garage haven't even suggested it as a possibility! I think it must be the internal mechanism that's seizing,...
Hi Iain I'm glad I'm not the only one to assume the groove inside was the level indicator! I've always topped it up to there since I bought the car 4 years ago...
Hi Chris That is the idea I'm coming round to - excess pressure in the system throwing water out at every weak spot - yet the garage are adamant they have...
Just recently my heater fan just suddenly started running at full speed. The litle fan display symbol goes blank (i.e. not filled in). When you first turn on...
Graeme, I know I bank on about this but my C5 issue was identical to yours and was the head but this only showed itself with full heat soak to the engine and...
Blimey, I was offered £6000 for my 2004 Exclusive SE with 41000 miles. ... From: C5-L@yahoogroups.com [mailto:C5-L@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of nigel shaw ...
How odd. I got £7000 for my 2002 2.2 HDi Exclusive SE with 54000 miles 13 months ago, but only because I traded it in against a 2004 V6 Exclusive (SE) at the...
... speed. ... Sounds like the fan control unit has failed. They cost about £47 from a main dealer. They are a bit awkward to find and change. Its on the left...
I would amplify the previous poster's point about the heat soak. My problem only really became visible after a good run of an hour or so. Pressure tests, etc...
Yes, mine did the same last year. The heater fan control unit in the driver's footwell was the problem. It is fits into the heater housing. It cost about £40...
Hi John As a matter of interest, when you topped up your coolant did you use the 'groove' as a guide? Let's assume for a moment that we all have been...
Graeme We used the line on the tank. I will switch from Citroen ambassador to engineer here. If the pressures in the engine were such that they could damage...
Cheers! I've dropped them an email to ask for advice. Graeme ... From: thymerowan To: C5-L@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, December 02, 2006 1:30 PM Subject:...
So overfilling the tank would do no harm to the head (or water pump?) Do you reckon I'd be right in saying that the car would simply blow out what it didn't...
Graeme, A1 Never. A2 Yes would blow out excess. Blowing out so much to take it below sensor. I think not. These cars are heat tested in the desert where ...

Have just bought a 2002 C5 2.2 HDi with 59k. Does anyone know when the cam belt should be changed? I have heard 100k or 10 years but is this over optimistic?...
