C3 Gear Lever Gaiter

[Guest les-cumbria]

I need to replace the gaiter that fits the gear lever but cant find one, there are loads on ebay for the picasso but not sure whether they fit also there are universal ones.

 

Can someone tell me if the universal ones fit?

 

My model is a C3 1.4 hdi 03 reg

 

Thanks

Our Xsara Picasso had a leather (or similar material) gaiter whereas our C3 has a rubber one. I suspect the 2 are not interchangeable. Also the Picasso one would split after about 2 years and need replacing so its life is less than the C3 (now 6 years and still ok). First time was done under warranty but second cost about £30 for the part.

I guess you have not tried Citroen for a new one on grounds of likely cost.

Hi paul, if you have found out where to get a reasonably priced one please let me know, this excludes the Citroen C3 dealers of course.

many moons ago I made my own and used the old one as a template and use whatever colour that took my taste.

If it is just a split in the rubber then maybe it could be glued back together. If you need to buy one try your local euro car parts but I suspect it will be a dealer only part or a second hand one from a scrap yard.

Anyone know how much they are from Citroen ?

A home made colour one sounds like a good idea and would brighten the car up.
