I am struggling yet again with my 95 1.9 TD VSX Hatch!
On first starting the car from cold, the front lifts up reasonably quickly, and is followed by the rear (sometimes!) The rear can take anything up to a minute to heave itself up, although if you move the car backwards or forwards, it seems to wake up, and pick itself up!
would appreciate anyones words of wisdom!

More Xantia suspension woes!

Height Corrector Rear
The rear height corrector is shown in a diagram on this thread.
http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... hp?t=18103
Thanks are due to Clogzz for providing it.
The diagram shows both front, and rear height correctors.
The rear height corrector is on the right with the item no 2
Item no 6 is a plastic linkage that can come off, and can cause problems.
The actual height correctors have several linkages, and pivot points so they can be prone to sticking.
Note, if you are going to work under the car make sure it is properly supported safely with axle stands.
PLEASE DO NOT GET UNDER A CITROEN WITHOUT THE CORRECT AND PROPER SUPPORT. IT IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CAR COULD DESCEND, AND INJURE OR KILL
Refer to this thread for additional information on the safety issue.

The rear height corrector is located between the two rear wheels.

Thanks for all the info, I have spent a happy hour with a wire brush and a canof WD40, and there is a marked improvement, it now lifts itself up as it should do, and on sitting in the boot, it corrects itself too!
That just leaves all the other little jobs.........Somebody buy it please, before I go grey!!
