IS THIS NOT ENOUGH?

...The accumulator sphere seems to be identical for all Xantiae...

Strange one this - you have a lack of pressure and the regulator doesn't tick (which would of course happen if the fault were upstream as it were)
Whats strange is that having spent far too much of my life on this and other Citroen boards I cannot recall hearing of one regulator that failed in this way but there's always a first. The usual regulator fault is incurable frequent ticking which can be cured by re-seating the non-return ball valve - a simple and free cure! Still I'm always ready to learn.
GSF sell regulators. Plaiedes recon them and I'm sure will know the correct spec which is probably the same as other Xantias.

in extream cases the regulater can destroy its self when the sphere is completly flat,the push rod is striking the metal disc at a rapied rate,and has been known to brake up if its allowed to run like that for a long time
