Hi everyone. I have a C4 Picasso Exclusive 2.0l.

It has the auto/manual gearbox. I think the actuator is faulty as it won't go into gear and stays in N. My husband hates my car and thinks it's a money pit but I love it. He wants to sell it as it is. Can anybody tell me a price I may get selling it with this problem and also how much it would cost to repair the actuator and where would be best to take it please?

Thank you

Year? Still under warranty? Mileage? Petrol or Diesel? Service history? Good condition? MoT?

Actuator repair: say, 8 hours labour plus parts plus VAT. Could be over a grand at a Citroen dealer. Make sure there's a substantial warranty with any work carried out.

Example from another thread:
the gearbox actuator "malfunctioned", 3 weeks ago, the sign of this was my car was not staying in gear whilst in auto mode, and kept going back to neutral. This time I took the car direct to Citroen garage, the service manager, who was very helpful, advised this would be £1200!

Hi it's a 2006 diesel with 98000 miles on. It has a couple of dint on bodywork but just spent over £300 on new front brakes and a battery. It has full spec ie sat nav, dvds in headrests, fridge multi change cd player. It's a beautiful car and I really don't want to loose it 😢

Well, if the gearbox was OK, I'd say £3,000-£3,300 if you traded it in with a complete service history. With a faulty gearbox, you could be looking at £1,500-£1,750.

But don't take my word for it - get other opinions.
