1) - The speed unit keeps rattling/vibrating if you press down on it it all creeks and stops vibrating for a bit, but then later comes back? - anyway else had this and is there a quick fix?

2) - When ive had the windows down for a few mins if i put them back up i get like plastic creeking kinda noise from round both the windows?

3) - The seats dont stop forward when folded - so if i park on a upbank with someone in the back they push the seat forward but it just keeps sliding back - bit annoying

Just a couple of stupid niggles with what seems such a brilliant car!

Thanks for any help

Does that mean the rear parking sensor ecu which only uses a +12v from the reverse light and a ground can be connected via the rear light cluster?

Or does this make a mess of the CAN system?

I see on some sites they recommend the use of a relay so as to not upset the bulb failure indication system. Does the C4 have this?

As listed above, my car had stopped making this noise after having been to my local dealer but it has now started again exactly the same as it did before.

Does your actuator move to a neutral position when you turn off the ignition?
Does it move slowly or quickly?

I might have to get a bit of video to clarify what I mean.
does it make any noise?

The problem lies with the wiring e.g some have tried to fit the door puddle lights using insitu connectors and wiring and spent countless hours trying to get them to work with no success.

It's almost as if the wiring is there but there is a fundamental 'connection' missing at the ECU/BSI end...it's more than simply 'enabling' the function.]]> richard_eason@nospam.com (Rich_Eason) Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:49:03 -0500 http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?110350 Re: De-wiper guide http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?110318 bandyquill@nospam.com (bandyquill) Fri, 10 Sep 2010 10:33:05 -0500 http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?110318 Re: C4 Brighter, fuller sidelights; Is there a simple way? http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?109510
I'm sure I've read that other people have had this issue and they have just gently reamed out the holes a touch so the LED will fit it.

Is this correct?

I'm a little nervous about doing this as I don't want to open up the hole so much that the bayonette type faster won't lock in to place and hold the bulb in-situ?

Any one had this issue, and did you mange to open the hole enough to get the new LED bulb in without stuffing up the locking mechanism of the bulb holder?

If so, any tips / advice?

Cheers.

Petter Solberg has not won a round of the world championship since Rally GB in 2005 but all that could be about to change after the Norwegian completed the opening day of Rally Japan with a lead of almost 10 seconds in his privately-run Citroen C4 WRC.

While that might not represent a huge advantage, Solberg has battled a fever throughout the day, which he admits has masked some of his pace.

“It has not been easy at all today,” said Solberg. “I am feeling a lot better than I was but it’s very strange when you don’t feel okay and don’t have the energy you need. Now I need a good night’s sleep to sweat out the last bit [of fever]. The car is working very well and we have had a good pace and a good performance today so I am happy. I know there is more to come from me.”

Mikko Hirvonen completed the opening loop of three stages today in fourth overall but an upturn in pace in the afternoon has enabled the factory Ford Focus driver to leap to second, 9.4s behind Solberg, courtesy of two stage wins.

“It’s worked really for us today,” said Finn Hirvonen. “I didn’t want to go too fast too early so I’ve been building up my speed slowly and it’s starting to be pretty good. We have to see what we can do tomorrow. I didn’t change anything at midday service, I just went for it because the others were doing that too.”

Sebastien Ogier is third on his first Rally Japan. He is also the leading works Citroen driver after team-mate and title leader Sebastien Loeb lost significant ground cleaning the road of the loose surface gravel on Friday morning.

Ogier, who held the overnight lead after going quickest on both of Thursday evening’s superspecial stages, said: “To be racing to be in the lead is very good for my first visit to Japan. The road has been very bad this afternoon so it has not been easy. For this reason I am very happy. The car has been perfect but we made some changes to the set-up to adapt it for the rougher stages in the afternoon.”

Loeb, meanwhile, suffered a broken front damper to add to the delay he suffered running first on the road. His road position remained a hindrance for the afternoon tests due to the ruts that had formed following the first pass of the three gravel stages.

Jari-Matti Latvala, who is fourth in the second works Focus, reported making two small mistakes on stage seven. “I just got confused with my notes on a few occasions and ended up braking too early,” he said after completing day one 15.4s off the overall lead.

Dani Sordo completes the top five in his Citroen Junior Team C4 but was left to bemoan a gearbox glitch that struck during the afternoon.

Henning Solberg is seventh with Stobart M-Sport team-mate Matthew Wilson completing the top eight. Federico Villagra is ninth in his Focus, 16.6s clear of ex-Formula One world champion Kimi Raikkonen, who spent the day adapting to the challenging gravel roads around host city Sapporo.]]> sebloeb@nospam.com (Sonny) Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:37:13 -0500 http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?110356 Re: De-wiper guide http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?110318 sebloeb@nospam.com (Sonny) Fri, 10 Sep 2010 09:30:55 -0500 http://c4owners.org/plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?110318
