Shitley Citroen C5 Transport Request (Gateshead to Hitchin) by Monday

[jamescarruthers]

I need a Citroen C5 estate transported from Gateshead to Chevronics, Hitchin arriving Monday, January 11th (or if it comes this week: to me in Horningsea, Cambridge, CB25 9JH and I'll drive to Hitchin myself).

The car starts and drives fine, just has anti-pollution faults and probably poorly swirl valve diaphragm so I need a magic Lexia and their good knowledge to get this sorted once and for all. Its my sister's car, which I bought for her  last year but has now developed these faults so I feel responsible to get it fixed properly so she doesn't have to get the Coronabus.

From: Colegate, Gateshead, NE10 8PP

To: Chevronics, 35 Wilbury Way, Hitchin, SG4 0TW

Weight	1518kg
Length	4756mm
Width	1770mm
Height	1516mm
Wheelbase	2750mm

Kerb weight 1518kg

Any members here do this sort of thing or have someone they trust from up there in the north-east?

You could try @Wingz123@worldofceri on here.

Someone local but trustworthy would be

That would be on @worldofceri's route. I would be coming from Reading and therefore would cost you a bit more.

If you wanted it fixing locally, either @scaryoldcortina@Jimbob McGregor  would be good calls.

Thanks guys. As you have put those people in with an "@" sign, does that mean they will be alerted to this thread?

I think I need a magic Lexia and someone who knows these engines. I'm sure scaryoldccortine and Jimbob are great but I am on a bit of a short time frame here as I need it fixed and returned before I go back to work in about 2 weeks. Feels like I have one shot at it! Are they Citroen guys and do they have a Lexia? If so, that would be great!

Yeah I'd reccomend recovery wise

Np recovery crook

Be recovery

Or repair locally there's d & d autocare at Sacriston a wizard with a laptop and bang on when it comes to fair pricing

It being a c5, check it hasn't shat the linkage off of the swirl flaps.

"antipollution fault" is anything that on a normal car puts the engine light on so doesn't necessarily need to be seen by a specialist.

Yes. (Although I’m a little slow on the uptake sometimes...) Happy to help if required; pm sent.

Thanks everyone. I have decided to get it shipped down south and between and Chevronics it will get sorted. 

I am using the company N P Logistics that was recommended on here.

I will take the opportunity when fixed to install bluetooth and DAB for her plus some sun shades for the back door.  Then a good bit of driving about from me to have confidence in it again before sending it back up north.

 

Its a lovely car so worth the effort.

Neil is the chap who saved @Six-cylinder's 306 cabriolet from a fate worse than death.  He has a few 306s still I believe.  

[robthedonkey]

He's got a beautiful gti6 in black he loves a 306 Neil does
