I assume it's a diesel but even if petrol there shouldn't be a problem if you search for a Citroen C25 item. It might involve getting one from France but there are loads there so will be plenty of spares back up from dealers.

I repaired an alloy hose outlet on a Peugeot with Techo-Weld and it did a good job. Secret is to pre heat in the house oven before attempting with blowlamp.

I must admit I have never hear of Renault Engines in the Talbot (but of course possible)

You may find also which will help identify the correct part a spares number unde rthe bonnet .......Citroen used a painted 4 digit number Fiat used a number stamped on the bottom of the chassis plate... It might be easier to have a look when you call tound to make identification easier
