Xsara Picasso

Getting a right run around, Marc where did you get the price for that part so I can order one please

That price was direct from Citroen Service - so whether the dealers are going to add a margin on for parts I can't say - but everything I've ordered from Citroen at my dealer has been in line with the price shown on Citroen Service.
The other part number used is 96542539XT which is the non PSA part number, but 6242 C3 is the Citroen part number Steve.

This one is a reconditioned unit £120 - with a refundable surcharge when they get your old one back:

Well stripped the unit from the car with a view to replacing the plunger (possibly). On opening it is completely different to all the photos and diagrams I have researched. Took a good look inside and found that the ribbon cable was loose and not clamped in propery, surely nothing as simple as that?. Well it has been 5 days since the strip and rebuild and still working well. FIXED.
