new part ordered from Citroën. i have to say though my parts place is excellent much better than any other marques parts dept that i've used. maybe its the frequency of my visits that helps

Your lucky, my most local one is useless and I now refuse to go to them. They would say things are unavailable when in fact they were still available at other dealers. I have to drive a 30 mile trip to get to the other one who is only marginally better. Very dissapointing!
I might well have to try another one. Trouble is a few of the ones around here are going away from Citroëns, they have started selling Kias as well

Have you tried
Springfield Citroen on the south end of the flyover from the Tyne Bridge?
It isn't marked as such but is the
more northerly building between the A167 and the Swallow filling station - above the arrow-shaped building - Springfield Fiat.
On your way home from Uni (as long as you chose to go that way rather than the tunnel or Redheugh).
Alternatively,
TCC isn't far out of your way either.
Wingrove would have been perfect if they hadn't relocated somewhere stupid.
