They want you to be locked into an approved garage. You can argue this is unfair, but at least it ensures that the car is maintained according to the design requirements. You can use most garages, and you no longer even have to use genuine parts.

One is because it is unnecessary. Another is that you can do more harm than good by steam cleaning it, but the clincher for me is that I never intend to eat my dinner off it.

I think modern cars generally have an on-board computer that can tell you if a glow plug has failed - and a lot of other things you may need to look at too - by plugging a lap-top into it.
As I say Citroen will have this information, probably in the form of software. Whether they will allow an amateur mechanic access to it however is another matter. Yes, there's a piece of kit called LEXIA / Diagbox which you connect up to your car via a laptop and it does a full diagnostic. I have the kit as it does Peugeot as well as Citroen, but I generally just stick to Pugs as that's what I drive and know inside out. But you only really need that for advanced fault finding. You can buy the kit off Ebay for around £80 but its useless if you don't know how to use it, and you can bugger up your car very easily if you start messing with some settings. As for technical information, there is something called Citroen Servicebox which gives you access to diagrams, part numbers and prices. Its the same system that the dealers use but dealers get full access to workshop procedures. http://service.citroen.com/Here's an example of one of the drawings: ![[Linked Image]](http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c134/gibbo501/307oil.jpg) For the OP's requirements a Haynes manual should be sufficient to do a good service.
