looking to replace a zafira we were looking at a couple of c4Gp one being a 1.6 vtr+ with all the toys etc (EGS, digital climate etc..) 12moths warenty 12 months AA and full M.O.T for £3200 but someone beat me to this so was very disappointing i missed out, so with money burning a hole i looked around again and found a 2.0 hdi exclusive again with all the toys and then some (pneumatic suspension tints and blinds) perfect! and also a steal at £1600!!! (DING DING DING) Only downside was the auto hand brake wasn't working as such but i'm sure that could be fixed within budget for sure right? .....
WRONG after buying it and taking it to Citroen they lightened my pockets by £620 for a hand brake cable and reprogram, two front tyres and a tie rod, and a couple of ball joints... (ouch) but i suppose it was a necessary evil. so all was hunky dory for about two weeks when all of a sudden "Gearbox Faulty" along with "Suspension Faulty" flashes up and car goes divvy chucking it into neutral every now and again and reverse disappears completely...also suspension goes into comedy mode and make us look like we're driving a clown car bouncing down the road.
try three different garages and after the laughter they don't want to touch it including an auto box specialist, fourth garage takes it and tells me that the suspension compressor has died and also the gearbox actuator is dead... cost to sort £3000!!!!! so reluctantly I've had to pay it as i didn't really want to get rid as i could of scrapped it bought another and gone through the same process again whereas i know this car has had it done and it'll (hopefully) not need doing again
