"Coming over a hump back bridge, the front n/s suspension strut ripped
free of (obviously rotten) mounting and drove up into under side of bonnet."
Like I said - this problem isn't going to go away any time soon...

I have asked the Citroen product manager to get me a price for a pair of top mounts for mine so i can see what kind of money they come in at.
He doesnt seem to think there is much cause to get them in as a stock item, as during his time at Citroen...10 years he hasnt come across more than 1 or 2 that needed changing.
I will keep this updated if there is a chance that these will become available through GSF.

Can anybody remember and is it still possible to get them?
