This was off the shelf at the Citroen dealer's, but the checking & fitting was only €35 ($43.91) including taxes. Parts are expensive, labour cheap. Had an oil & filter change, last monday. Total price €41.22 ($51.69) including €1.22 for a couple of clips that they spotted missing from the bonnet stay (I'd forgotten to mention it to them) I trust them more than the little mechanics' shops. They have the parts without having to wait for them being imported, often do little jobs they spot, for free, & are a pleasant bunch to visit.
