   Hello
   
   The roll pin which secures the control arm? to the back of the gearbox has fallen out twice now, despite the most recent time being a brand new pin from Citroen.
   
   I have stuck a bolt through it at the moment until I can get to Citroen today but I get the feeling its going to happen again
   
   Anything I can do as you obviously can't get a bigger roll pin?
   
   Would a decent size bolt with some loctite be ok?

   Yeah a bolt will be fine mate in many cases there better as they are made from stronger metal so wear less.
