Ramzes, if you are referring to the brake safety valve or doseur, you can still buy the seals from Citroen to repair them.

The strip and re-build is detailed here.

YES, I'm talking about doseur, but no one seals help to repair it when its body worn out. When you brakes and the doseur sizzle, and the rear of car fall down during of 10 minutes. I'd like to know is there any opportunity to buy it NEW???

What exactly is worn out on the body? I took a very high mileage one apart and all the slides were perfect, it was only the seals that had degraded. Have you taken yours apart?

I have seen one or two new old stock ones for sale on Ebay and they always sold for a lot of €€€s. You cannot buy them new but I'm sure that Pleides in Uk sell re-conditioned ones.

I have never bought anything from Pleides but one of our members - Kitch - bought a doseur from them. A two year guarantee is mentioned on the website. Probably best to give them a phone call.

There was one on E-BAY recently which had zero bids on it (the listing ended on 19-05-12) !

I suggest you contact the SELLER to see if they could help you out with a buy it now (So long as their happy to send abroad), its worth a try 'If you don't ask you don't get' :wink:

I hope you get sorted out !

:)
