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.

The C4 Grand Picasso is a versatile MPV with style to boot, redefining what a large family vehicle can do and be. At the 2018 Auto Express Used Car awards, it was named 'Best Used MPV', and two years later, it was voted 'Best MPV up to £10,000' at the WhatCar? Used Car Awards. The C4 Grand Picasso is a class leader that holds its value and boasts an excellent track record for reliability. As with most Citroens, electrical issues are common, though usually minor and easy to fix, and a few drivers have reported suspension problems.

Car suspension features four coil springs, one for each wheel. They are designed to absorb shocks from the road, such as driving over a pothole or speed bump, and they work in conjunction with shock absorbers.

Eventually, coil springs become fatigued with age, which means they have endured many compression-extension cycles, causing the metal to become brittle. When this happens, it's time for a coil spring replacement. This job typically takes one to three hours for front springs and one to one and a half for rear springs.

A coil spring usually lasts between 60,000 and 90,000 miles. Signs you may need new springs include: excessive tyre wear, visible rust or corrosion on the springs, excessive leaning or swaying, compromised handling and worn or missing jounce bumpers. A rear or front coil spring repair is always done by replacing the springs; once the metal becomes brittle, it can't be repaired.
