What's the prognosis then?
A virtual pound says electrical problem!!

Steering pump seems to have exploded, left a serious mess on the engine bay. Could have driven it home but didn't want to risk damaging anything else as I doubted there was much fluid left in her.

New front tyres, new clutch and new tax this month. Really didn't need/couldn't afford anything else to go wrong.

I'd best PM you a virtual £1 then.........

if it makes u feel better, it does have electrical gremlins lurking in the passenger side door. Some odd things have gone on in there.

After £3k in repairs/service over the latter 6 months of ownership, I sold my 156 JTD m-jet lusso for £4k

I have nightmares about ours.

Over £100 dealer only job to change a front foglight bulb?
Half an hour headlight out job for a headlight bulb?
Three hours, steering wheel and airbag out, half the dash removed to change an instrument bulb?

What mad French **** designed that? And I use the word, "designed" advisedly.

Oddly I quite like Citroens, especially their bigger cars! I must be a glutton for punishment!

jap or german cars only please

Jamz3k

My soul hasn't been destroyed enough yet to buy an Audi(or any other VAG car) and my wallet doesn't quite reach BMW money yet.

As for Jap, I like my Alfas interior too much.
