It did till it turned out to be a tad over 1mm to thick for the roof to close correctly, so its been done again in a grey soft cloth proper thickness too and a happy roof

Just checking: this isn't the torque setting you've installed that big 41mm ball joint into the hub at is it?

You've been busy Husky! As regards the little Torx screws holding brake discs to the hub: I always use a small impact driver to remove them. It that fails, they're easy to drill out...

I'm not certain, but think "9HR" and "RGH" are engine codes - if I'm correct they should be part of your car's VIN number. Characters 6,7,8 should match:

Ive just messaged the seller , we'll another seller they only needed the vin so fingers crossed this is all that's needed , the only difference i think they might be getting fussy over is
1 petrol drive shafts are not intended for diesel
2. 1.6hdi and 2.0hdi shafts are compatible
3. 5 speed box or 6 .

Which mines a 1.6hdi 6 speed , I'll just wait and see what this other seller comes back to me with.

Not a very productive day at all , I measured the drive shaft it was bigger than 2 numbers ive been given regarding drive shafts for the 308cc so I went to the main dealers and was met by a big grinning bearded chap who quickly said how they no longer handle parts , I had to go to the other part they are now under a mile up the road , gave me directions and off I went , well this was great in I went into this big massive unit , I was met by your typical English chap .. vejay ... i put forwards what I needed and quickly was told NO we can't give you the OEM numbers were not allowed.

So off he went then I spoke to another chap who used to work in the service part to the original dealership , he told me now they have to give the car keys back to the owner while they then have to cut a new one and programe it then sell it to the owner of the car because its there rule now???

Just opposite was Euro car parts whom can be useless so I went in there , they did give me a part number and price , £386+vat
Place before .. look at the photo , ive just about had it today 4 hrs of waste trying to get a drive shaft and im no better off...

I would try Peugeotpartsdirect for a price. They have the same contact phone number as CitroenDirectparts who when they give a quote have also given the parts diagram with the part number (top right SKO number) https://peugeotpartsdirect.co.uk/contact-us/
