my n/s headlight got smashed today. Its a 2019 citroen c4 spacetourer flair blue hdi. i must have looked on 50 sites to look for one but had no luck , most of the sites have h/l up to 18reg but the model was changed when the 19 reg came out. it looks like it is a dealer purchase

« on: 15 February 2024, 21:40:02 »Our shows up fault codes every time the temperature dips below zero. Luckily, so far, the temperature has risen, and cleared the code, before the countdown mileage gets anywhere near zero.I had about 6ltrs so that sorted it
Stick a 10 litre bottle in there, Ray, that should do you for around 10,000 miles.

General Car Chat / Adblu top up
« on: 14 February 2024, 23:01:30 »
I have just started to get the warning that my adblu is low & I only have about 1500 kilometers before the engine wont start , on this car ( 2019 citroen c4 cactus 1.5 dti ,spacetourer ) the filling is situated next to the diesel . Nowhere in the user manual does it tell me how much of the ad blu that I need to put in . do i just fill until it takes no more?

General Discussion Area / INSURANCE CLAIMS
« on: 11 October 2023, 13:03:34 »
Back in mid June i was involved in an accident. how it happenedon on a large roundabout that has 3 entries & as many exits i had just gone through a green light but after about 20mtrs i had to stop because of a big horsebox that i presume was heading for york races. the horsebox was trying to switch lanes . a car coming up a southbound ramp managed to get thruogh the gap between my car & the horsbox but a van that followed caught my frontend & totalled my car. i was deemed to be in fault simply because the position i was in & he had a green light. also because of the positionn of both vehicles the police had to arrange removal. on his report he recommended no further action to be taken. good news I was paid out within a week.
however last saturday i got papers from the other party,s solicitor wanting £,8500 . naturally i phoned them & was told its because Aviva had not settled the claim from the other party. it took me over 5 hours to speaak to the right department at Aviva ( claim fulfillment team ). aviva have asked me to send them the court papers so they can deal with it ,

is it telling you that a specific tyre is 'flat'? Or is it telling you that you that one of your tyres is 'flat'?

« on: 30 July 2023, 14:19:39 »I assume that you’ve done the reset procedure.same tyre. reset procedure carried out does a new sensor need programming in once fitted ?…………
the tyres are recent all round
……
If you’ve carried out the reset procedure, maybe one of the TPMS sensors got damaged during the tyre change. Is it always the same wheel that shows under inflation.
