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.
Manufactured between 1997 and 2006, the Citroen Xsara is a small hatchback ideal for drivers with a limited budget. An MPV version - the Xsara Picasso - was launched in 1999. The Xsara hatchback has a decent amount of interior space and is cheap to run, delivering between 33 and 62 mpg, though poor reliability ensures regular trips to the garage. Worn brakes and clogged radiators are common, and you should also keep an eye out for clutch problems.
When you start your car, the starter motor turns the engine over, allowing it to draw in air. It is powered by the car's battery and consists of a solenoid and a powerful direct-current electric motor.
Various problems can occur with the starter motor, such as faulty electrical connections, a damaged motor and a stiff or broken solenoid. If you're having problems starting your car, this is the most obvious sign you need to book a starter motor replacement. You may notice your vehicle fails to crank, the starter engages but doesn't spin the motor, the lights dim, or there is a grinding sound when you start the engine.
Can a starter motor be repaired? It is possible to repair some faults, but given the price of parts, replacing the whole unit is often cheaper. This guide discusses how much it costs for a repair - your chosen mechanic should advise you on the easiest and most economical option.
