Owning an old car is reading a crumb of information about a similar problem on a 10 year old thread and buying that part anyway because it's the only lead you have This is the one that fixes it, lads. I feel it in my bones (crank speed sensor)

Possibly off my rocker, but I think the original Citroen C4 2dr will be a future classic. We all remember the dancing robot, and just look at that design. I think these are truly at the bottom of their value graph. Mark my words.

@Ed_Westby It was never about the environment, it's always been about boosting new car sales and making graphs say that we are more prosperous. The gov has become one massive HOA who are telling people to get rid of their unsightly old cars because it's bringing the property values down.
