You're spot on. I've now fixed the fault. I got a kit for £8.99 which included the clip you describe. This simply clipped onto the caliper casing holding the top of the brake pads firmly in place. The rattle has now gone.

Thanks again John Went to a motor factors today with a digital photo of both sides. I've ordered what I hope is the right kit. It was £8.99 so a big difference from the £40 quoted from Citroen main dealer. I'm hoping that it just clips on over the top and that I don't need to remove the pads to get it in. It's been a lot of trouble for a little rattle. It doesn't affect the braking but that rattle is very annoying!

Thanks John I've been quoted about £40 for a brake spring kit, which includes bits I don't need. That was from the Citroen garage. I'll try a couple of motor factors over the weekend.

Hi My OSF brake pads rattle. I've looked at both sides and there seems to be a small device missing from the front of the caliper. I assume this stops the pads from rattling around. Does anyone know what this little device is called and whether it is possible to get one second hand without having to buy a whole caliper. It looks like it just clips on. Any help much appreciated thanks.
