YOu dont happen to have a mint 106 XSI by any chance? There are a number of nice pugs over your way. Been tempted by them, but my dad would kill me-actually kill me.Hes worked on cits for 40 years, so his loyalty is fairly ingrained. Ends with the Xantia, the xsara was too ugly, then he packed a sad with citroen NZ and chucked it in. Restores old ones now, two 2cvs, a light15, and a ds on the go. Not bad for 69!

Why would he kill you? Surely if he worked on them for 40 years wouldnt he know that Peugeot and Citreon are the same thing??

Sophie Guthrie, idk if she worked on it during towers, but she did make some trees  :D possibly ents even

Yeah but citroen does most of the engine development for the PSA group, then gets stiffed out of the cool stuff by Peugeot. They got forced out of hydraulic braking for cost issues, and in doing so killed the true citroen.The C5,C6, are nice enough, but not true citroens anymore. Bloody range rovers come with the same suspension design these days. But thwe older ones are still the bees.its the ongoing arguement over the XUJ94- was it designed for the bx16v, and put in the MI 16, or vice versa? WHo cares, its a great engine in both margues.But peugeots are a bit better built interior wise.
