Johndouglas Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Hello & welcome to the forum. On a C5 of 2008 vintage there's been a few faults being reported. First you need to be aware that not all the C5s are on hydraulic suspension. Only the Exclusive models have it. All the others are on steel springs. Not that that's a drawback. My own is steel sprung and I find it fine. Some members have reported window mechanisms failing, although mine so far have been no trouble. Other members have reported a low oil pressure message and that has required a new fuse box to put right. The roof line on the Mark 3s is lower than the previous models so can be difficult putting larger objects through the rear passenger doors. Finally, some members have reported leaking power steering racks, but again I haven't had to deal with it. In the Technical section there is a topic about common problems.
