The chicanes were vandalised and quietly removed at the end of July but a survey of locals about what to do produced inconclusive results, leaving members of the council’s Tamahere Community Committee to decide on their fate.

Hi neighbours 👋,

I’m selling my 2013 Citroën DS4 Sports Chic 1.6 Turbo (auto/tiptronic). It’s mainly been used once a week for uni, so it hasn’t had a hard life. I really love this car and would honestly prefer to keep it, but my wife and I need the money, so I’m reluctantly letting it go, but you can you would be investing in a young couples life.
Details:
Odometer: 137,600 km
WOF valid until 03/2026
Registration expired end of August (happy to renew)
Runs best on 95 petrol, but can take 91
What I like about it:
✔️ Recently serviced & professionally cleaned
✔️ Tyres in great shape, brake pads recently replaced
✔️ Smooth drive with cruise control and parking sensors
✔️ Handy features like auto wipers, fog lights, and Bluetooth
✔️ Customisable speedometer
✔️ Comes with oil, brake fluid, and steering fluid
✔️ Tidy inside and out, with original manual
Things to be aware of:
Cigarette lighter socket doesn’t work, but the USB + AUX beside it does (handy for music/charging).
Uses a little extra oil — spare oil included.
AC may have a small leak — still functional, just not as cold as it could be.
The mechanic checked it over before listing. The valve cover gasket has been replaced (with service report). Turbo has some play, but he confirmed it’s running fine and not urgent — replace only when it eventually fails, which could be a long time away.
It’s a comfortable, stylish European hatchback with loads of features, and it still runs beautifully. Happy to answer questions or show it to anyone interested.
