Hi Cliff. I see no-one has replied to your post yet so, just to let you know we do care about you I'll write something in reply. I'm sorry I'll not be much help because I've really no idea what may be causing this. I originally thought it may be the small plastic link which goes between the height corrector and the rear anti roll bar, but if you've had the car at a Citroen dealership then I assume they would have checked that one.

 

The anti sink valve and rear centre sphere only really come into service when the car is stopped and the engine off. I can't see it being anything to do with that. It's not a problem I've ever heard about but I'm sure someone out there might know. COME ON LADS!

 

You'll only be able to read replies if you've actually got one! This is your first and I'm sorry it's not any better than it is. Sorry again!

 

Cheers. Hope this makes you feel better! (NOT MUCH!) :D

Hi Cliff,

 

Do you find that the car is dropping in the same areas and is it at all on a slight hill where u r almost on the brow but stopped, mine does it at the same place so I have put it down to resting so it is level thats the only thing I think yours could be doing if doing it randomly then I would go back to the Citroen Dealer and ask for a proper check and not to just chnge things just to make more unnecessary money.

 

All the Best

Do you mean it drops when the engine is still running?

 

The only thing I can think of if it's when the engine is switched off, that you have a cream crackered antisink valve which has a dodgy isolater thingy hence it would sometimes do its stuff and other times not.

Do you reckon this could be due to mucky LHM anyone?

 

Just throwing some ideas out!
