sueyh Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Having problems siting doofer so that it is recognised at tolls. Have Citroen Picasso and doofer works if held out of window but appears not to like being attached to holder on screen. Any ideas please??

BJSLIV Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 If it's like our Citroen do you have a dotty/ dark shaded area surrounding the rear view mirror?. On the C5 our's works fine from there. In fact its intended for that purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueyh Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thank you, we will give it a go. If not I think we will be getting a cold arm all the way to Spain in March, sticking the doofer out of the window, in a manner of speaking!!Suey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sueyh Posted March 29, 2008 Author Share Posted March 29, 2008 Does anyone know if this can be used when in Spain or is the limit the french border?Sueyps It worked in the shaded bit by the mirror!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I think I'd expect it to work in Spain about as much as I'd expect it to work for the Dartford crossing in UK but you never know !Incidentally my doofah played up for 'er indoors the other day on the trip down to Toulouse airport to pick up yours truly. She had to back out of 2 lanes (thankfully late evening so pretty quiet !) but then, even at a manual lane the operator couldn't get it to work, yet on the journey back home it worked perfectly over the 2 sections of Paege, must have been having a bad day.

Loiseau Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I believe that they have a battery in them that can run down. Maybe this is an indication that you should find your nearest Sanef office (is it Sanef?) and get it swopped.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yes, it does have a battery, its a 3v Lithium cell and its previously been discussed HEREDepending on who you listen to life expectancy can be anything from 2 to 5 years and as mine is only 9 months old I'd be surprised if the battery had gone already. It's worked perfectly since so I think I'll take a "wait and see" stance for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briwy Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Ernie.We had exacyly the same problem with a C4 Picasso last year. Hired one twice and at all the tolls the other half had to hang out the window to get the doofah working. It didnt seem to make any difference where it was placed inside.We also had problems last week in our own car when we have always been OK before. I got the impression that the closer the the doofah is to the side of the car where the barrier is hinged it works better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
