Over the years,
Citroen has come up with more than a few quirky ideas. The second car it produced, the 1922 Type C 5HP, became known as the ‘petit citron' (little lemon) because of its small size and the yellow paint colour you could order it in. Since then, there has been the
Citroen Picasso, taking inspiration from Pablo Picasso's use of shape. The Citroen DS 19 was the vehicle of choice for the French President Charles de Gaulle, who
survived an assassination attempt in 1962 thanks to the car's superior
suspension system, allowing his chauffeur to drive away after two of the
tyres were shot.
Launched in 2006, the
Citroen C1 shares components with the notoriously reliable
Toyota Aygo, allowing it to compete with rival city cars like the
Hyundai i10. It's cheap to run, with
outstanding fuel economy and few
common problems. The main things to look out for are issues with the infotainment system and worn interior components. Generally, the C1 is affordable to repair, though
fixing bodywork damage can be costly relative to the price of the car. In WhatCar?'s 2023 reliability survey, it was the
joint 8th most reliable small used car, matching the
Skoda Citigo, though
Citroen finished last for reliability as a brand.
Central locking allows you to open all your car's doors simultaneously, either using a mechanical key or pressing the remote control button. Some of the most common reasons your vehicle's central locking might not work include a faulty actuator, a blown fuse and a dead key fob or car battery.
Because there are several possible reasons your central locking isn't working, an auto locksmith must assess which type of central locking repair is appropriate.
For example, if your car door won't open, this is likely due to broken connections within the lock assembly or door panel, requiring a car lock repair. On the other hand, if the issue is related to your key, you may need a car key replacement.
Since central locking problems usually mean you can't drive your car, most auto locksmiths offer mobile central locking repairs.
