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
DS3, initially manufactured by
Citroen before DS became a standalone brand in 2015, is a quirky luxury supermini capable of rivalling the
MINI. With a plush interior, reasonably good performance and plenty of kit and personalisation options, it's a popular choice for drivers who want excellent value for money. In 2010, it was named
'Small Car of the Year' at the Fifth Gear Awards, and the following year, it won the
Fleet World Design Award. Reliability isn't the
DS3's strong point, reflected by the unusually high number of recalls it has experienced for issues including the
ABS and faulty bonnet catches.
The most common problems drivers experience with convertible car roofs are leaks and failure of the roof to go up or down.
Leaks occur because the roof seals perish over time, allowing water to get in, which can damage internal components. This issue can be resolved by booking a car roof leak repair.
If the roof doesn't go up or down, this may be due to a bad lift cylinder, fuse or relay. A faulty lift cylinder can also cause the roof to move more slowly than it should. In this case, you'll need to book a convertible top mechanism repair.
A badly damaged soft top may be beyond repair, so you'll need to arrange a replacement. Fortunately, plenty of convertible roof specialists can help get your car back in working order. A convertible roof repair is usually quick, although it gets more complicated when components need to be replaced.
