If yours is an 8v engine the rubber seal just removes and once it's painted up slips back on again.

If you have a 16v engine the gasket is stuck to the rocker and it doesn't need to come off

yeah 8v going to replace it as theres bit of a split on it how much do they cost also where to get one from?

The 1.4 and 1.6 8V engines use the same gasket. Would imagine you can still get them for Citroen for less than a tenner

Citoren love to charge alot, as with all dealers so id say more than a tenner. Cost my mate £12 just for the "S" on a zetec S badge from Ford. Dealers have a habbit of doing so. lol
