Cheers for that. That layout is different to mine. On mine the pink headlamp washer relay is where the left hand green relay is and the two green ones are side by side on the right. So , in that case would it be the green one in the between the pink and other green one ?

No idea.

The relevant relay will have wires numbered 8098, 8098B/8098C, 1706, CO2N, CO2S.

As HDi's are so fuel efficient they take an absolute age to warm up so to make that happen quicker at this time of year Citroën fitted a diesel burning heater just behind the N/S headlight in the inner wing, this is a photo of the one fitted to my car when I removed it to replace the glow plug within. They operate by being plumbed into the cooling circuit, or should that be warming

When running they sound like a jet engine, boys toys

I've been wondering about using one of these plumbed into a couple of radiators as a garage or shed heater running on waste engine oil ??!!
