   Wishbone is about 65 inc vat for a decent one from andrew page.
   
   The rear load sensing valve is £47 + vat from andrew page or £82 inc vat from citroen.
   
   Tyres you can get from about £30 fitted to however much you want to spend.
   
   and manifold and cat you should get from a scrappers for about 15 quid for manifold and 30 for the cat unless you want new then there about £90 -£120 from the tinterweb (eurocarparts should match the price if the place has a shop.)

   The load sensing valve would be the most labour, why did it fail, is it leaking?

   You sure its just not the brake load sensing valve seized? Had this 2 years in a row just because i dont have folk in the back of the car enough and i think lowered cars seem to seize up quicker. Some wd40 and pliers and mine passed

   The load sensor valve seized yeah, what did you pry? because i sprayed some wd40 on it and cranked the arm back and fourth a bit and boom it works.. however when i cranked it back it pissed out fucking brake fluid.. it doesnt when i let go and it when pumping the brakes but when i pull the actual arm back it leaks.. do i need a new one or is this normal?
