So, the car! Well there has been little work done, mostly just trying to keep her with forward motion. I finally swapped out the second leaking FDV 10 days ago and the car is a totally different animal now, but as with all HP Citroens, i fixed one leak and the low pressure return from the N/S/F strut is pooling out. Actually now i think about it, theres a hell of a lot more fluid than there should be, perhaps it is the return from the safety valve? General problem is that the fluid returns through a length of washer hose which has perished under the influence of oil. Havent managed to source alternative pipe yet (everywhere is sold out of any suitable pipe!)
Anyways thats nothing compared to the list of other things amiss;
- sheared O/S/R ABS sensor (been like that for two years now)
- leak from one of the drive shaft seals
- blowing from the exhaust still i think
- inner wings are looking worse and worse by the day
- MOT due in the near future
- need to change to the aircon sump
- need an oil change to go with it
- N/S/F door wont unlock from the central locking, and is very very stiff on the key (suspect failure)
- roof console has deformed and rattles A LOT
- clutch is generally naff, it works just about fine but if you fully load it it just slips!
Ha Ha ! I`ll bring my 8mm taps just in case.
