Cheers, will check out the links, Many thanks Mike

Brecon in mid wales, dont mind a drive if it will sort out the headlights :)

can I purchase a VCDS? would it be simple enough for an idiot to do? can someone briefly explain what I need and how much it will cost? I don't have a laptop so could it be a stand alone unit? cheers Mike

I have been under there just checked the rear sensor, there looks like a new screw has been put in at the end of the rod on the sensor, I suspect they didn't unscrew it before changing the spring and didn't notice before they unbolted the wheel arm, seems to be working ok though, I have a bit of weight in the boot to settle the springs a bit but lights still too low, seems like a reset of the range controller might resolve the issue, cheers for the advice, Mike

Hi there, coil spring snapped on my 2009 L&K estate last week, ats replaced with kyb springs and they sit a little high on the arches but presumably they will settle after a couple of weeks, however my headlight beam is too low now and makes it difficult to drive at night possible causes? could the rear sensor have been damaged when they swapped out the springs? or would a headlight reset fix the issue? if so would this be a dealer job or could a backstreet garage perform this? the lights are still doing the start up sequence when turned on so this means the motors etc are working fine. its annoying cause I have had the car 8 years and the lights are the best feature about it, and now they are buggered :) cheers Mike

This is a smart car indeed, good price aswell, I am starting to regret buying a citroen xsara hdi as a runabout, I should of stumped up the extra wedge and bought summit with a bit of pace like this one for sale, Good luck with the sale mate

g tee, I took the highest bid I received in the end mate, I dont know why it was hard to sell, maybe because I didnt own it long, but the car was absolutely lovely and the more I used it the more I liked it, beleive it or not according to the maxidot it was doing better mpg than my old fabia tdi over the 2.5k I drove it, up to a combined 73.5 mpg on my way to work one day (40 miles)

all sold, very happy buyer cheers all mike

g_tee I think its sold mate, all done apart from the cash changing hands, the car drives fantastic, and if I didnt need to sell then I would of kept it for a very time, the longer I drive and use it the more I am taken by the dsg and the engine, I cant see me replacing it for a better car, unless I spend more money that I havent got :(

Still for sale, did I mention this car is only 4k,

And chris, yes still for sale, Its going in the local paper this week so fingers crossed, I

Cheers dr, I can confirm cruise control

I will consider a swop or p/ex with any manual car, Cheers
