  • Bus (Citroen?) suitable for remodeling as a touring vehicle?

    hi, my husband and I would like to buy a small bus or a long van to remodel it in for travel. since we have had bad experiences with our old car in terms of High Reperature cost the last 3 years we thought rather of a year to venture. thought e.g. of the small Citroen space bus, or something like that in the direction. should not exceed them 30 000. does someone recommend durable models in the premium class? Box van would also be in question, a few PS zb 110 would be okay. one should be able to lie out behind the front seats from the length, back seats we build out. Bed will take off under stars etc. so looking for a durable driving kit. does anyone have experience with the small Citroen space bus? or other ideas where price and performance would fit our project? sg

  • Headlight type?

    Hello, my wife always gets the message “curve light error” with her 2013 Mokka X for some time. First the error sporadically came, but now he is always standing. If you have parked on a wall, then you see, when the car is opened up, how the light does the self-test, and exactly thereby the right headlight does not do what it should do. Because the right headlight only goes up and down and not to the left and right. Long speech, short meaning… e Headlights should probably be changed. Now I found out here in the forum that it should cost around 1000€. Much too expensive for such an old car. So at ebay classifieds searched and unfortunately found the same 2 different types (part numbers). 95386946 and 42344333 Does anyone know which is the right part number for the right headlight with xenon and bend light? (Unfortunately the stickers on your headlights are no longer legible, so looking has nothing g Thank you very much benold.

  • The OZL and the toll in Slovenia

    I have to leave out a bit about the DARS in Slovenia: there are two different toll categories for two-lane cars. 2A and 2B for <=3.5 tons. the difference here we defined as follows: "The height of the vehicle above the first axle is the distance between the ground and the highest point of the vehicle in a plane running perpendicular to the axle-semitting of the front wheels" (source: https://evinjeta.dars.si/en/liste-der-versuchten-fahrzeuge). (of course) the OZL. what is not in it? all sister models (peugeot traveller, citroen spacetourer, ...) which are NOT campers. on my request why the sister models do not have to pay the more expensive toll, but only the OZL, was always avoided with the answer that our car is in the list. at some point I got the answer that the sister models (of course!) have all been measured and all under the magic limit of 1,30m are. yes....clear....certain....a proof that the others have all been measured with the values and mestimes, they do not want to give me. and, quite friendly: I get the answer from them by now: "The discussion is finished here". very nice customer service. I feel rather unfairly treated, because I drive a car with the wrong logos, otherwise I would always save myself the half (!!!) of the toll fees in Slovenia. but maybe d see Is any of you different from me and can take away mine?!

  • Contact photos, synchronization

    Hello together, I have mostly connected my iPhone via Bluetooth. The contacts and call lists are also displayed industriously synchronized. Two questions: 1. The vehicle also has a contact memory. Is there a way to synchronize this “offline” memory, or can one really only store contacts that one has manually registered all? 2. Many of my contacts on the mobile phone have saved a contact image. However, this is only with currently one person (all I have Not checked) also in the display of the Spacetourer at Bluetooth contact or in the call list. All others are not displayed. Also with this one contact it has been displayed very rarely so far. Since today I have a new telematics device (see https://www.motor-talk.de/…/…-neue-navdab-generation-t6347446.html). Since now here already looks quite different, I checked the pictures immediately: also here this one picture works immediately – the others do not. => How Is this with you? Are pictures displayed? What requirements does the image have to meet? Is there a question of resolution?!

  • chip + gas

    hello, whenever you say ‘gas’ or ‘save’ in a breather, you’ll get as ‘yes, why not buy a car with the desired power’ or ‘all one chip = more covert, chip + gas is much more harmful’. as far as everything is reasonable, however, the motor around which I am concerned is a 1.6t (z16let) of opel, which is to be chipped on about 210ps/300nm. this is known to be gas-proof, but has a small space of space. and exactly in such a case one would have to get the opposite answer. the ‘high-breeded’ the engine is better for him, the better gas is for him. or: the more radical one can ‘bubble it up’. I just wanted to know if I think about the right direction. are the 225ps offered by eds in connection with a (possibly liquid) gas system, the better one can ‘bubble it up’, or is just about the same as the ‘bubble’?

  • Mokka 2015 – Cruise control with pitfalls

    I drive an Opel Mokka BJ 2015. A cruise control is installed in the vehicle. However, it has a peculiarity which I do not know from any other Opel or car (had previously Nissan, Mercedes and several Landrover). It can only be activated from a speed of 40 km/h. This does not correspond to the information in the vehicle documents (30 km/h) nor is it useful in any form. Where are there in Germany 40 km/h speed limits?? Especially in the Flensburg points sensitive area around 30 km/h the activation would be recommended. On demand with the dealer, I have experienced this is only with the 2015 models so (obviously in Korea – before the production transfer to Spain) built mokka. A request to the manufacturer brought only the very brazenest information – info “Adjustments in the series can be accepted by the customer (if you have accepted as a customer in the small print!) and what in the vehicle book does not have to correspond to the actual parameters.”

  • Total failure of electronics

    We were in Spain for 3 months now, until then everything ran wonderful! On the return trip, just before our hotel in Dijon (France) we had a total failure of the electronics. 130 Km/h Tempomat AB right side, engine went off, all warning lights on. In the display „Motor flaw……. Luckily, directly to an emergency stop bay with emergency column. I could not turn off the start/stop button. After approx. 30min. the Grandland nevertheless took over the start/stop button. International ADAC notified, tows brought us to the hotel. There the mechanic of the car was able to start again! All warning lights off! In the display was shown: vehicle is in ECO mode??? The next day I had to the Opel workshop there. Luckily, only in 60 km radius. Unfortunately, only sellers had to be informed about it on Saturday! The seller then had been informed about entertainment display some parameters of the vehicle and told us: We could go to Germany, but I should already read and reset the error memory there. By now, I had not received a message about Opel service on Monday.
