I have just had a look at the recall on VOSA website and it may appear that the car has not been done on the recall as the cup is very small. Anybody got an idea what size of cup was fitted to the recall's. I think I will give citroen a bell and chase them up as to wether it was done.

Like many cars now I think the spring tapers so the bottom is smaller diameter: the recall I think fitted a cup or shield wide enough to catch the spring if it broke above the small coils at the bottom.

I would think your friendly local garage or Citroen Dealer would be able to tell at a glance if the fix was done.

Well i think my mother in law is very lucky now. Spoke to citroen today who confirmed the recall and that her car was one not done. However the recall was for a larger bottom cup, so they will pick up the car do the work in fitting the cups FOC so long as she pays for the new spring as aparently on the recall the spring would not be replaced they are happy to do the work ofr just the cost of the spring with citroen paying for the rest inc labour.
