I would only like a Citroen C1 and a Toyota Aygo because Peugeot 107s arent my favourite car. Toyota Aygos would be the cheapest out of all these cars. I would say a toyota Aygo would be around £7.500 a peugeot 107 would be about £9.995 and a Citroen C1 would be about £8.750. Im shoked that only 36 people have bought a Citroen C1 i see plenty of them were i live. There is a chip shop and it is near were i live but they carry there deliverys in a Citroen C1 and there is plenty of cars byt apart from delivery cars there is harly any Citroen c1s on the road only delivery cars Citroen C1s are really cute like a Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo.

I am therefore very suprised at the announcement stating only 36 cars are affected.

In this day of supercomputers I would expect the manufacutrer to contact Swansea and then Swansea to issue recalls, by post, within hours. They, (Swansea) should do something for the fees we have already paid. Too great an expectation?

I have a basic spec C1 so I doubt very much that this optional extra has been fitted. I expect Citroën customer services are currently overloaded with worried customers, so I shan't bother to phone them. If they have identified that there are only 36 vehicles affected, I would expect to receive a letter by tomorrow asking me to get this fixed. I can wait that long.

ESP stands for Electronic Stability Programme, and it uses some clever electronic gizmos - and the brakes - to help prevent you losing control during emergency (or 'enthusiastic') manoeuvres. Only 36 C1s in the UK have ESP fitted - and none of them are diesels. But if your car is petrol-engined - and you don't feel knowledgeable enough to start foraging round your brake pedal or engine compartment to see if your car has a throttle cable (cars with ESP use a 'fly-by-wire pedal which sends information by electronic means so there is no cable) then call Citroen Contact Centre on 0844 463 3500. We'll try to explain things a bit better in future! Sorry Steve, we should have made is clearer, as it’s quite unreasonable of us to expect every reader to know what ESP is.
