I’m not saying that Citroen’s quality control is bad, but for a UK market vehicle (RHD & Speedo in miles)...

...They could at least check the right badge is stuck on it.

I wonder if there is someone in mainland Europe with the opposite?

surprisingly here in Australia we had at work a brand new TS Holden Astra 1.8 back in about 2000, badge on the back said it was a 1.6, an engine not sold in that model Astra here in OZ.

also seen a Craptiva with a Vauxhall engine cover.

Never knew they weren’t called Jumpy in the UK. But yeah, one would think someone at the factory or dealership should have noticed.

I worked shortly for a Toyota dealership, and the amount of TSB and how bad some of them were for the ProAce(same car, different name) was insane. A new one would easily have 12-15 TSB’s that needed doing, which was everything from new wiring in the rear doors to resealing the entire side panels and firewall.

Well, they are called the Jumpy everywhere else and only called the Dispatch in a few countries, so not a huge deal....pretty funny though!

Star just for saving “Craptiva” instead of Captiva.

Citroen has quality control?

Was that the old model? They were pretty bad.

Yes, I quite like the Jumpy name. I’m guessing that as the tailgate option is such a rarity it might have been the cause of the issue.

Current one. But that said, it does drive rather nice for a van.

Ouch. Hopefully that’s just teething problems with the new model.
