The exhaust bracket/clamp on the rear silencer has rusted through and broke.
Mild steel clamp on stainless box.
The clamp is a separate part to the box and clamps with a bolt around it.
Phone call to 2 local exhaust centres and the clamp on aftermarket box is welded to the box, not available on its own!
"You need to buy a new back box, mate. £75 +vat"
Why would I want to buy a new mild steel box when the stainless one that is on is fine?
So, phone call to Citroen.
Part is not available separate. Nobody makes one.
"You need to buy a new back box, mate"
"How much?"
"You don't want to know...."
"Goodbye."
This must be a common problem, mild steel tends to rust alot quicker than stainless!
Can't believe no one sells this bracket as the original is a part on it's own.
Do I have to bin a perfectly good stainless exhaust and replace with mild steel just because of a broken bracket?

Just searched fleabay and on-line parts sites.
Looks like Citroen are right; no one sells one.
