How does the suspension actually work?

Post by Penguin »

Ok, for most of you genii on here this will seem a very basic question, and I guess it is. I am new to the joys of citroen ownership and can't get my head around how the suspension actually works. Can someone point me in the right direction for an explanation please? Lots of diagrams and pretty pictures would probably help :)

Cheers

That is a very nice guide, penguin. Going to get disributed far and wide.

A .pdf warning might not go amiss though. It would have killed the Vista machine - it can't handle .pdfs.

Is that Vista in general ?? I'm sure I've seen acrobat reader or similar working ok on a Vista pc?

A .pdf will kill any browser I have under Vista.
I do know of others for whom it is not a problem but a lot of people report problems with .pdfs.

Foxit Reader reportedly gets round that problem but I generally use Open Office on Ubuntu, quick and slick.

It is just usual to issue a "Warning: PDF" notice if you are linking to one so folks who have difficulty can take avoiding action.
Vista always pops up an incompatibility notice - too late, the browser is already on it's last gasp.

Adobe do offer a version of Acrobat for Vista. See their website.

Image Never even thought to look. I presumed Vista would be smart enough to look on it's own for updated/compatible versions.
Typical. :oops:
