Why does the windscreen washer fuse keep blowing on your citreon xsara Picasso?
Fuses That "Blow" Repeatedly
Without being able to "hands on" troubleshoot the circuit served by the repeatedly blowing fuse, none of us can identify the specific defect which is causing your problem.
Therefore, the following generic answer can be applied to any electrical circuit, whether in a vehicle, or in a building, or whether alternating current [AC] or direct current [DC].
Fuses [and Circuit Breakers] are safety devices designed and installed in electrical circuits TO PROTECT the conductors [wires] and other components from short circuit conditions and/or overload conditions which cause an extremely large flow of electrical current [measured in Amperes], which causes overheating of the conductors that results in damage to the insulation and the conductors.
And in a worst case scenario, the probability of a FIRE which could destroy the vehicle, house, or other structure in which the circuit is located.
When a fuse or Circuit Breaker [and replacement fuses, or repeatedly "tripping" Circuit Breakers] "blow," especially if it happens repeatedly, is an indication of an UNSAFE CONDITION in that circuit, usually a short.
The fuse or circuit breaker is doing what it was designed, intended, and installed to do, that is to protect the conductors and components of the circuit which it serves.
The proper "fix" for this issue is for a qualified technician, who knows what he or she is doing, to troubleshoot the involved circuit, find and identify the defect, and make proper repair [s], BEFORE replacing the fuse again [with the properly sized fuse or before resetting a circuit breaker].
Some ignorant few people will suggest installing a larger fuse or breaker to solve the problem, BUT that will only increase the hazard, not correct it.
Do not follow "bad" advice by installing a larger fuse in a misguided attempt to correct the problem. To install an oversized fuse would almost guarantee damage to the wiring and the probability of an electrical system fire.
How do you get your locking wheel nuts off as you have no key?
Sears has a special socket that does the job. They come in a set or individually, just purchase the one you need. That socket was designed to remove rounded off nuts and bolts, it works well on wheel lock nuts.
These only work on old lock nuts, the new ones have a ring that spins to stop these being used. Google "Locking wheel nut remover" to find the 'No1 Locking wheel nut removers'. It takes 10 minutes to remove all four.

How do the door mirrors fold on a Citroen Picasso 2.0 HDi?
If your car is fitted with this feature ('Exclusive' models), then you rotate the mirror adjustment dial to the down position. Turning the dial back up will unfold them.
Do not attempt this if you do not have the Exclusive version, or if your mirror adjustment panel does not have a white triangle in the 'down' position. Forcing the dial to turn down can break the connections inside, and you will have to replace the adjuster.
