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.

Car electric window systems usually have a control switch connected by two circuits to a motor in each door, wired to the battery and the car's electrical system. One circuit and switch position moves the windows up; the other moves them down.

Several components can break or malfunction: the motor, fuse, window regulator, switch or cable pulley could be to blame. If any of these stops working, you'll need to book a car electric window repair.

Who can fix electric car windows? Many mechanics can do this type of repair, though if you want a specialist, it's best to find an auto electrician, especially if you suspect the problem is related to the wiring.

If you're wondering whether you'll need an electric window replacement or repair, most of the time, it's a single component that needs replacing to fix the problem rather than the whole unit.
