Got to take care mate non of us are getting any younger it seems like I pull my back shoulder or neck every other week nowadays On a separate note the clutch has destroyed itself and its the last nail in the coffin for the wife's car, think a burial by cremation is the best remedy

same with the misses, loves her little pug, swear any part that can be replaced has been replaced ( same stuff as your 206! ) only thing that seems to be original is the body and the interior lol

I've been stupid enough to have owned two French cars, a Citroen Xantia and a Renault Espace. It seems our friends across the channel have a different logic to the rest of the world when putting cars together. I'm now driving a boring Vauxhall Astra, at least if it goes wrong the answer/repair SHOULD be within the realms of human understanding

Funny you all should of said that because I bought a second hand C5 and when the year is up and the warranty is finished it is being traded in, it has been back and forth to the dealers every two weeks on average
