Member Errol Bradbury is selling his C5.  He comments:

We bought the vehicle in January 2007 and it has been our daily drive ever since.  All services have been done on time, mostly in our own service department apart from the 100,000 km job, this was done by Joe Portelli at Paris Motors, including timing belt replacement and coolant etc.  Interior is as new and exterior is as photos.  One or two minor dings and scratches, but all doors etc are good.  Included are 5 original mag wheels all with 90% plus tyres.  However, following a recent service there was failure of one of the turbos.  It seems that a foreign body has got into one of the turbos, causing serious engine problems.  We have re-connected the loom, fuel, etc. and the motor runs well at and a bit above idle, but the vehicle is effectively undriveable.  All other functions, suspension, steering, air con etc., are good.
