i have a citroen c5 diesel estate o4 reg anyone tell me what they are like

You have the car. Why do not you tell us what they are like?

You have just confessed to owning one,if you do Not know what they are like,you should not be owning a car,or be in charge of a pram

if l tell you its crap its a bit to late now cause you got it

there like a donkey pulling a cart

These cars have had problems from launch, ranging from electrical meltdowns to incurable suspension noises, there was even at one point a website started by a group of disgruntled owners to warn people not to buy one, or if they wanted one, buy it used because they r not worth what Citroen r charging! Google it & see what comes up, theres quite a good selection of what goes wrong with these cars, & theres quite a bit to choose from! The Xantia was a better car than it! The only Citroens I'd even consider would be a C4 or the new C6 as they have been designed later on, presumably by better designers & engineers, they must have put something in their coffee in 1997 when they were designing the C5, cos it did not turn out very well (it takes about 4 years for a car to go from design to production!).

Why have you lost It?
