Thanks Kowalski
So you think is my front accumulator sphere thats causing the problem
the best thing i can do then is to change all three front spheres then as ive just had the rear spheres and i was planning on getting the two front spheres done as the drive still feels a little hard on the front but a bounce test on the front says all is ok.
Thanks agian

My Xantia has just started doing this! When the car's been parked for a day or so the front always looks lower than the back but when the engine's started the back drops down before coming back up to the normal level, together with the front. This doesn't cause me any inconvenience but it does concern me. The car's done 186,000 miles & covers a phenomenal mileage every year. it has just done over 1,500 miles going around France faultlessly, so there can't be much wrong with it, averaging over 38mpg at motorway (& then some!) speeds.

I'll look into having all the spheres checked to see if any, some or all need changing. The ride feels excellent, though!
