Hello Helenzammit62

These parts are getting very rare. You can often find the later, improved 2006 version but these do not fit the earlier models. like yours :(

The part you are looking for is here - eBay as 96428401XT.


I have never seen replacement overlays for the over speed or child lock buttons.

The original surface was a "soft touch" silicone material . Popularly applied to many devices in the early 2000's. It turned out to be an abysmal failure, as moisture destroyed the finish!
You can by new ones from Citroen and they cost about 15 pound. If you buy a new one the surface should be painted not silicone. I.E. if it's silicone give it back!!

You need to remove the radio and storage box in the center of the dash.
The storage box can be deformed and pulled out. If you have an original radio, there are 4 holes (2 on one side and 2 on the other) that you need to insert 4 small screw drivers, or removal tools, into.
There are plenty of videos on youtube on how to remove the stock Peugeot/Citroen radio. If you have an after market radio, sorry but you'll have to figure that out.
Once you have removed the radio, there are 2 tabs, 1 top 1 bottom retaining the switch assembly. Reach in and squeeze them inwards to release the assembly.
