Citroen ONLY one, as the rubber part needs to be LHM resistant... Its a common pipe to fail on S2 cars!!
Its also VERY possible to remove and re fit WITH the engine and box IN PLACE, it will come out gearbox end with a bit of fiddle and shoveing...
The bolts that secure it it the side ahead ofthe passenger wheel arch tend to rust and they are a sod to undo... but is quite possible..
Scoure scrap yards... you WILL need one from another car with Air Con! Try and get a late S1 from a P to R reg, they seem to be coated..
If you do goto the stealers, and I think it would be expensive Id coat it if not already before fitting..
