- Welcome back guys, sorry I've been a bit off radar lately, back now with a few more videos for you, and hopefully some nice buys for me!
Join me as I drive to BCA Brighouse for the first time to pick up a Citroen DS3 I paid just £600 (£858) for!
Apologies for the wind noise!

Guys. We're going to find out if it's any good tonight! My mate runs a takeaway and was struggling for a driver... So u0 comes me and the DS3! So far so good and averaging 56mpg!
If it's been to mechanics why is service still on, decent garages no longer do forced regens because it can knacker the dpf up, they normally use dpf cleaner through the differential pressure sensor tube. good dpf should be max 10 millibar on idle and 50-60 millibar at 3000rpm
Video was before mechanic did forced regeneration. I just did it on the motorway. Mechanic has given it the all clear, I'm not carrying out an extended road test make sure it's not going to be a problem for anyone
Did you fix the boost leak but as that is why the dpf will have clogged up
Yes had a turbo at some point and the clamp wasn't seated very well. All sorted now, a forced DPF Regen for good measure, service and 1 tyre drives as good as new. Done about 30 miles in it last night. Will have another drive out tonight before cleaning it up and putting it up for sale on the weekend
I see. Just check the dpf pressure in milibars at idle and at 3k revs using ur scan tool. will help you to know if it needs a proper clean otherwise fault will come back again@@FlippinMotorsUK
My mechanic checked all that and test drive says all good 👍
I see. Thought you were a mechanic yourself with your own diagnostics... so was just helping you bud

@mohitl1697 I used to be but have damage to my back. I know bits but don't have the tools now. Always handy having a £20 code scanner about. Thanks
That's the most unlooked after car ever ,I bet it's never been serviced since current owner bought it on finance 3 years ago ,dirty, scratched dinged and all the wheels ragged. Crap manufacturer and a bad example.Its a future head ache if I've ever seen one. Good luck.
I'll agree to disagree, I've seen much less presentable ones. Not everyone will keep a 12 year old car to showroom standard. It runs and drives well, does the job. Thumbs up off my mechanic so I'm happy to put it up and think it will be a good runabout for someone for 1750 or so
However you're right it did need a but of tlc!
Nice bit of lunch money in that
I'd like to think so! Not had chance to Valet it yet and write an advert
@FlippinMotorsUK let me guess its our bloody weather 🙄
@flippingcarsrepairs shock. Was going to do it today possibly a late Christmas present for someone but the winds too strong!
i would not buy if you give me at 200,worthless brand
Have you ever drove one? I think these are so much different to other soggy Citroens and love the torquey DV6 diesel engine
There French, french cars are pure Rubbish.
They make a lot of terrible cars but these DS3 were always a nice motor, well built for a French car and these earlier DV6 diesel engines without the ad blue etc were great!
Nonsense. My Citroen 95k needed nothing.
@@mr.145 just a huge warranty, your just Lucky, Renault, Citroen and Peugeot, biggest buckets Rubbish to come off production lines, history and Global Statistics show it
