Clutch Release bearing is knackerd pal.

Will need to replace whole clutch. Around £200 sounds about right unless you know any friendly mechanics.

I'd get it done sooner rather than later though pal.

i wouldnt go fitting second hand clutches mate! You dont know what the condition of the clutch was before the crash. You dont have to get a genuine citroen one, pattern ones are 70 ish

You don't have to fit a whole new clutch, you can just change the bearing, but whilst the gearbox is off doing it you may aswell have the clutch done to avoid having to take it off again anytime soon.
