   where is this "cog" the only cogs that you should be able to see are from the timing belt on drivers side of the engine block.

   oh this is going to be hard without pics erm if you look from the front of the car towards it you have the engine on the left? and the g/box on the right of it? if im correct so far then its near where the box mounts to the engine. the exhaust pipes are about 1 inch to the left of the cog again this is if you look from the front, sorry if iv over complicated it

   you can see the flywheel if the cover has been knocked off.
   
   theres a gap between the box and the engine.

   theres a gap. off the top of my head about 1/2" inbetween the box and the engine on the underside of the engine/box assembly.
   
   theres normally a cover that fits in here to stop shit getting in to the flywheel/clutch set up.
   
   the gap prob is about 10-12" long irc

    prob when you refited the lot you didnt put the cover plate in properly, i expect the flywheel may have caught it (hence large bang) and thrown it out of the underside of the car.

    covers are quite cheap id expect.
    
    could prob get one from a crappy if needbe.
    
    did you do the flywheel etc. to correct torque settings though when fitting it after clutch??

    I had a look on euro car parts and couldn't find it. You're best off going down to Citroen and getting them to order you one in. Shouldn't take more than 2 days.

    Citroen keep their car prices low because they rape you on servicing and parts.
