      I've had quite a few cars with monthly payments and I can tell ya they cost alot more than kids lol

      If the cost of raising a child is now £218000 http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datab...ising-children you must drive some expensive cars.

            • I got mine replaced about April last year and on inspection today it looks like all 4 wheels are corroded again. Has anyone
              else had them replaced twice? I'm just wondering where I stand as they've been replaced once already??

                so, unsurprisingly they haven't fixed the problem then!

                Keep us posted on the dealer's response please

                  • Well we rung Citroën UK and they were very helpful, they've given us a job number and asked us to take it to a local dealer so they can have a look. We mentioned this forum and said that there were others with the same problem and they said it was comin more to their attention and said that it was something they could help us with. So it might b worth anyone with this problem giving them a ring so it can b dealt with. Well fingers crossed that I get the result I want.

                      Citroen Warranty on wheels states 12 months only (am paranoid ours will go too and hv questioned supplying dealer carefully about it). You say yours is 1.5 years old but have you bought it recently second hand? If so from Citroen dealership? That may help your cause.

                              • Inspected my DSport+ the other day same problem as reported by many with corrosion on all four wheels. Emailed Citroen UK and I await their response. Looking at the other replies I am hopeful they will change them all. Pity that Citroen do not offer any other 17" alloys that could replace the Bellone's.
