C/mad....they're fekin horrible, but that just m/o...and crap, or the were on my last C5, they were clouded badly which I know wont help though, if the suspension's quite reliable that's fine. I just remember a few years when we had a BM est and had air bags for back suspension and they burst....that was expensive, and said fk it I'll stick to spring/shocks
I have no problem with C5 headlights, they are very good and should be very powerful. A aged headlight lens will not help though, neither will aged/poor bulbs.
I would much rather have hydraulic Citroen suspension, no risk of a broken spring, which I have had and its not run. Especially if the spring goes through the tyre. I find airbags are generally not as reliable as the Citroen suspension. Ive had a very minor leak on the back cylinder of a C5 and also a problem due to someone previously puttin LHM in with the LDS, but other than that, they have been faultless. (touch wood!)
Granted there is the risk of the strut top appearing through the bonnet on Xantias and XMs but they usually look terrible before that happens!
