Ride Height Help Please

[Tigerryes]

Hi, newbie here and newbie C5 owner. Recently purchased a 2001/2 HDI LX 2.0 90bhp manual. Wonderful car by the way. My husband has had citroens in the past and thinks that the ride height is wrong on this one. It shows the correct position on the dash but does seem to be alittle high on the front. So does anyone know what the ride height is please? Can't wait till August when the manual comes out. Any info would be helpful.

Thanks in advance

The best advice I can give you is to go to a Citroen specialist or dealer who has the necessary hand held computer. The C5 has something like 146 'steps' in the suspension, so getting it right is tricky. The parameters at the front of yours may be set wrong. After I had major front suspension work, the ride height at the front was far too low and 'solid' but the car and the hand held computer were reading OK. In my case, the problem was a faulty height sensor at the front. Once this was replaced, everything was OK.
