Citroens have amazing suspension.

If you were getting poor ride or it was too soft - it sounded like the car was running the wrong spheres!

Ouch. Stuck behind the HGVs all the way then? Even when they're new French cars just can't help going t*ts up.

Well if you insist on running over cyclists, it's going to take it's toll on the suspension components! :D



Seriously though, hope they get it sorted. Citroen suspension is great (or at least it was til they wired it into the electrics)

I have international rescue, so going through them, but ironically the problem has cleared the warning light has stayed off since i landed on uk soil, still no extra uppy downy though :frown:

i reckon its got wet somewhere, it was torrential when we left Poland and the first half of germany so it was getting rammed wet weather at high speed with 8 hours constant heavy rain, i think/hope something is just a bit damp.

Good to hear it's behaving now. 8)

I have to say, this wasn't the type of weather you were asked to bring with you. It's really very disappointing. :frown:

2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
