Hi,
Can somebody reccommend a good INDEPENDENT garage to service Citroens somewhere in the south east or London?
And also, can someone bother to explain the story behind regulator "clicks" please
Many thanks.

Living abroad - no clues on a garage near you [:)]
Regulator clicks are the heartbeats of any hydraulic Citroen.
The clicks emanates from the hydraulic system's pressure regulator.
It's got 2 valves - one that opens on under-pressure - a slight clicking - and one that closes on pressure limit - the sharp click.
The time interval between these clickings is a very good & wellknown systems operating indicator - and fault indicator.
The time interval should be at least 30seconds - when car is stabilised in height and ready to take off. If the clicking gets faster - or constant - during engine idle & standstill - then a fault is present - and then commonly the accumulator sphere is flat (has lost gas pressure).
A very good explanation on the system is found in this document :
