C5 Hdi Suspension Wont Go Up! Help!

[crosser69]

I FITTED SOME MUDFLAPS ON MY FACELIFT 55 PLATE C5 HDI YESTERDAY,I FITTED THE REAR ONES AND THE CAR WENT TO THE FLOOR AFTER I TOOK THE JACK OUT,I OPENED THE DOOR AND THE CAR WENT STRAIGHT BACK UP,I THEN FITTED THE O/S FRONT MUDFLAP AND AGAIN WHEN I PUT THE JACK DOWN THE CAR SUSPENSION WENT DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SINCE THEN WILL NOT RETURN TO NORMAL SUSPENSION HEIGHT,I CHECKED THE MAXI FUSE AND FOUND THIS TO BE BLOWN SO I REPLACED IT AND THAT ONE BLEW TOO.

I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND PUT ANOTHER FUSE IN AND THIS TIME FUSE STAYED OK BUT SUSPENSION STILL WONT GO UP AND THE PUMP DOES NOT MAKE ANY NOISE LIKE IT DID BEFORE.

IVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND DONT WANT TO SELL IT BUT AGAIN DONT WANT TO SPEND A FORTUNE ON IT TO GET IT RIGHT AGAIN.

I THINK ITS POSSIBLY THE SUSPENSION PUMP BUT IS THERE ANY OTHER SORT OF TESTS I CAN DO TO CHECK THIS OR ANYTHING ELSE I COULD TRY AND DO TO GET THE SUSPENSION UP.

THE HEIGHT BUTTON INSIDE STILL REGISTERS ON THE INFO DISPLAY REGARDLESS OF WEATHER I WANT THE CAR TO GO UP OR DOWN.

ALSO IF IT IS DEFINATELY THE PUMP WHAT DO I NEED TO REMOVE TO GET TO IT,IS IT A CASE OF REMOVE THE FRONT BUMPER AND THE HEADLIGHT?

ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL

Did you put the suspension on high before jacking it up? I've heard that a similar problem appears if you jack up without raising it first. I can't help you but try your question on http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk Someone there will probably help you.
