True.
The 'i' in HDi was initially missing, for the first couple of weeks I was driving round in a High Definition 406.
Under each foggy, as the bumper returns underneath, there's a kind of inspection hatch held on with 4x torq? torque? screws. I fink this is where you attack the foggies from.
I'll give it a go this weekend when I tackle the COM2000 airbag explosive unit for MOT preparation.

I once bought a Citroen that was called a
roen ZX
Ended up debadging it for the craic anyway.
Somewhat stroke of luck with the repair, so long as they did a good job and the subframe isn't bucked
(crosses fingers and hope someone drives into the nearside unmatched paintwork doors)
I think that the topic should be renamed for a shorter thread

Jasper had a cure for this, hook out the pads and file a chamfer on the edges of the friction material. I need to do the same to mine as well.
