As you may remember my new car has retractable door handles and they developed a fault so in June on the advice from ds customer care I took it to a ds dealership to get diagnosed ds automobiles did say if the handles were faulty then they will cover the cost. They were found to be at fault and ds kept their promise and paid for the handles to be replaced at a cost of £2048.48 so I was well happy.

At the time they did a health check and told me that the coolant needs replacing as it not effective the tyres need changing the rear brakes were 70% worn and front brakes were 80% worn. I decided that when I get back home with the car I will speak to citroen in neqport isle of wight as they are very good in the 16 years I have been going to them they have always been honest and carried put only work that has been necessary. So I took it into the citroen garage and they have said that the coolant is effective and good for upto minus 37 degrees there is a lot of meat on the front and rear brakes and they are good for another year and the tyres are 5mm on the front and 4.5mm and 3.5mm on the back don’t really need them changed. I am happy with what citroen has said as I do trust them. It just show that many garages will try and pull the wool over your eyes and charge you for work not really necessary
