jamescarruthers Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 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? tooSavvy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserone Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 You could try @Wingz123@worldofceri on here. Someone local but trustworthy would be https://m.facebook.com/nprecoverycrook/ Wingz123 and worldofceri 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingz123 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 That would be on @worldofceri's route. I would be coming from Reading and therefore would cost you a bit more. worldofceri 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 If you wanted it fixing locally, either @scaryoldcortina@Jimbob McGregor would be good calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamescarruthers Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffgeezer Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescarruthers Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 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. loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
