They run diagnostic tests and identified and fixed a faulty ABS sensor but I wouldn't expect them to have as much experience as BL Autos

.....Oh and the wheel question was asked as I started reading about how you can't just jack the car up and take all the wheels of and leave it on stands without something bursting...
This refers to LDS reservoir implosion. It's imperative that the car is put to its maximum suspension height before jacking or lifting and, if the car is lifted on a two-post lift (leaving all four wheels hanging), then the LDS cap should be substantially loosened to allow atmospheric air to be ingested.

I'm sure that advise will come in very handy!!

Thanks for the heads up about BL autos, might have to book something in that said I do have a place called PTS near me who are Peugeot Citroën specialists and specifically mention they have specialists for hydraulics? Anyone have any experience.


My C6 was taken to PTS when it broke down in Sandhurst last year and I have used them a couple of times since. Their work seems very good and they have a good selection of ancient Peugeot loan cars available. I think the labour rate is £58+VAT per hour.

Yes I ended up popping to PTS. Very happy with the service and knowledge of the staff down there and its ten minute drive from mine. Sorry BL autos is over an hour away. No brainer for me.
