Mine have been bad over the years but seem better recently. Having said that, Ive just had two new rear calipers fitted under warranty. They corrode where they...
Dear All! Mine were replaced too (2001's SX) last spring. The point is that all C5's "steel" wheels are in-fact "light alloy" wheels - despite they look like...
Hi I was told by my local garage that it is the material, none asbestos, so it makes more dust. They sold me some Peugeot rubber pads that stick to the rear of...
Yes its a big problem with the C5. My 2.0 HDI started to do it at just 8,000 miles. By 15,000 miles the noise had become unbearable. I knew it was time to sort...

Chris, I replaced the original H4s with the Osrams. I first tried the Hella +50s, but didn't like the result. The +50s work by concentrating more light on the...

Garry Sorry but i dont know what brand was fitted by the dealer; only that they were 'non-genuine'. Brakes are much more powerful and have a better feel. Sorry...
