Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

Paid £900 for it with 80k miles on and now has 113k, only had to change the starter and service it. Its decent on fuel and very comfy, I'll drive it till it dies then buy same again. The citroen diesels are very reliable if used properly as in good long runs and regular servicing using decent oil and filters, I've used the hdi cars for the last 10yrs with no problems with the engines what so ever. And only ever had faulty electrics once and it was a worn window switch so I'd say either I've been very very lucky or citroens electrics aren't as bad as they used to be.

How reliable do you find the car?

Just normal consumables, brakes, starter motor. Does seem to go through tyres quite a bit but I have only put cheapo ones on.

Does the car do everything you expected it to do?

Very comfy and plenty of go, doesn't seem to go round corners as well as my old citroen xsara but it's a big old bus so can't really expect it.
