This is my 2nd ds3 with problems. Just one thing after another. Waiting to hear if I can hand it back.

6 min before this post you just wanted more power out of it. Quite a change of tone in a short time.

Really?

[mk2k41]

Really?

No, not really. He's failing to take into consideration the fact that driving instructors will ensure that their vehicle is maintained correctly, and not ragged around as it is their source of income. Unlike a second hand vehicle from Joe Bloggs, who by the way, has taken his around the 'Ring several times and met the armco. This wouldn't show on the vehicle history though...

Probably trolling, always one, just spotted mk2k41 your down the road from me I'm in Solihull, long shot you didn't have a red c2 before? Long shot as gave a guy in Warwick my c2 roof bars when I moved to the c3.

I just wounded what ppl got from there's. Love the car and the toys just had nothing but trouble up to now. Had belt squeeze 5 times in last couple of weeks. Side skirt hanging off one side. No screws in glove box or fuse compartment. Exhaust braket corred and broken. I get judders. I get Wheel rubbing constantly. Buzzes and rattles everywhere and there's more and I just go round and round in circles with main dealers.

Same issues as mine (except side skirts and wheel rubbing) but I wouldn't change mine for the world. The best 32,000 miles ive ever drove

You really are talking bullsh!t. You run the risk of having faults when buying ANY, repeat ANY used car and new ones for that matter.... In it's short 2 year life my car has had a new top mount, new fuse board, various rattles and squeaks, a set of new tyres at 40k new brakes at 48k and now needs a new front windscreen - if this was my own car and not a lease car I wouldn't bother replacing the windscreen until it was due an MOT but due to the fact examiners are picky arses at times it needs to be done asap, so much o I'm having to borrow a fellow driving instructors car for a test tomorrow because auto windscreens can't replace my screen until Wednesday.
In my other thread I mention another thread where a user had to replace the brakes on BOTH of his ds3's at 10k.... What does that say about his potential driving style compared to my 48k pad life?

[tom8y]

But my car is 2 years old. you shouldn't get this problems. They have made ds3s for how many years now

Have you had a look to see why the side skirt is hanging off? It might have just come unclipped.
No screws in the glovebox and fuseboard... What do you mean exactly - are they just held in by thin air or something?
Exhaust bracket is an easy fix - DIY if you really want to.
Judders - that could be high spots on the clutch, warped disc, steering related which Citroen should look at.
What is belt squeeze exactly, I've never heard of that?
