how strange, i've never seen one of those pop out only in a cooling system!! when you fit new one i'd suggest using some strong sealant on it, never even noticed this plug lol

I should think most car spares shops would be able to get you one. Although I'd probably go to Citroen, that way you know it's the right one and it'll fit and stay in there

Yeh they'll know, and I don't think it has lol I've always known them as Frost Plugs... Just explain where it is as I'm not sure if the others on the Engine are a different size. They might even be able to tell you what caused it to fall out, I mean I've never come across one popping out but they might have lol
