   I dont bother renewing mine lol just bosh some sealer around the plug!
   
   There was a large selection last time i looked but didnt notice Saxo ones.
   
   GSF or Frencos would be a good bet.

   i didnt think halfords did them off the shelf. they have a very select variety of sump washers... if you go to citroen they keep them in stock and just tell them what car you have and they'll get you one

    Its in the 'autobar' section of halfords rather than the oil + filter part of the stores... (the area with all the little bits from electric connections to tape etc)

    Walk into your local garage/workshop they'll probably just give you one. Take your old one with you.

    Always try use Motaquip as your motafactor, Peugeot Citroen own them and there parts for Peugeots and Citroens are always just the same genuine part rebagged or boxed.
