I am replying to a question from Mr Richard Sylvester on the 7th of September in which he asked about the manufacturer recall due to cambelt failures.

My car had to have the cambelt and many associated parts replaced under the Citroen manufacturer under warranty. I will say that they had to rebuild a lot of the engine and replace many of the internal parts to make sure the cambelt particles which had started to disintegrate were flushed out. This work cost them £2000 in parts and about £1200 in labour. Unless all of that work is done properly I would not advise buying one without that documented history. I should say also that the later models were not recalled but I don't know what the cut off chassis numbers are.
