That's probably put the kiss of death on it now I am vehemently anti Citroen and most french cars but first hand experience was mixed. We had a Xsara Picasso (wifes choice) which was a money pit, head gasket, collapsed rear axle, and much other expensive shit. I had a early 1996 mk1 Belingo van, 1.8D non turbo, second hand with 133,000 miles on it when I got it, and honestly it was still mechanically good when I sold it with 196,000 on the clock. Never missed a beat, in fact it is still taxed now 5 years later. Also had a 1997 Peugeot 106 1.1, what a peachy handling little car, you could drive the wheels off that and had an absolute hoot in it. I think with French cars some models and specs are good, most are self destructing shite. Not that I would ever own one again. I like old German and Swedish cars which is what we have had ever since. Not much interested in new stuff, but if I had to it would be a smallish VW/Seat/Skoda. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a Magane (stupid me) the dephaser pulley went, then the heater packed up, it went through wheel bearings like they were going out of fashion, the windows would go down on their own, inconvenient when it was 3c and no heater, it leaked water like a seive in wet weather, fusebox was one lump of corrosion which caused the lights, wiper and indicators not too work , I did not keep it long, obviously. My brother in law got a Megane after driving one on a track day, don't remember him having it that long. One thing the French were doing well were their diesel engines, Renault and pugs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister in law has a Renault Captur (2019 model) that too is a troublesome car, Engine management light has been on 3 times, caused by a different sensor each time, the indicator/lights stalk has been replaced twice, window regulator packed up twice, and the built in sat nav is next to useless, it freezes and sometimes will not work at all, she also looses her temper when I say it's just a Dacia in a posh frock 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be a 1500cc Normally a good engine. Like the pugs it'll be the software letting it down. As for the other faults, chinessium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Captur has never let her down, always starts and runs OK, even with the management light on, her husband (who tries to check sis in laws car over) is hoping there are not any more engine sensors to go wrong, last 2 episodes have cost £400+ both times...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my indicator/lights/hooter stalk malfunctioned I went to the local Dacia dealer..... a new stalk sir?, that will be £145 please , so i bought one off Flea Bay....£20, to all intents and purposes it is identical to the Dacia original, I expected it to fuck up quickly but here we are 6 years later, working like a good un (that will be the kiss of death now ) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
