Good Independent Citroen Dealer Wanted

Unread post by howardaskew »

My Wife's 1.8 16V with A/C requires a new accumulator sphere. I have tried unsuccessfully to remove the old sphere. (It just won't budge and the space is very restricted!)
I would like to find a recommended Citroen Garage in the Kent/East Sussex/Surrey area.
Any help would be appreciated.

Could try Senlac Garage in Battle, E Sussex, right next door to the railway station. He was a Citroen Indy about ten years ago.Used him when I had my BX. Fitted whole new brake piping front to back for me. Also did spheres once when he spotted them in my boot, FOC IIRC. Used to stock a selection of used parts as well.

I have tried using a couple of tools I bought from Ebay which would work very well in accessible positions. But this position with A/C makes it impossible.
I have given up on a DIY basis and want to find someone experienced in this repair.
