Went off to Robins and Day, the only Peugeot Dealer within the M60 around Manchester at lunchtime. They were the nearest place likely to have in the suspension wishbone I needed. They didn’t have it in, but did find another Peugeot dealer with one in stock which could have been mine for the wonderful price of £256. This even had the bloke behind the parts counter surprised and I think he might even have gasped.

I said thanks, but no thanks and headed off to the French, German and Swedish Parts specialist in Trafford Park and picked one up for £55. It’s the exactly the same part for a fifth of the price and I now have a matching pair of lower control arms. No wonder main dealers are infamously known as stealers. I can’t see anyway they can justify that difference. Any way GSF were even cheaper than getting it through 106parts, which would have been about £15 more once postage was factored in even with Rallye Register discount. Suspension rebuild will commence tomorrow…
