There's the "Common Problems and Fixes - Archive" accessible from the All Forums page for such a purpose and in fact the Xantia Ride Height illustration is also held there.
On the ride height subject, I saw a post on the yahoo Xantia-L forum that the Activa ride height should be set 2cm lower than the standard Xantia setting. Has anyone else had the same information from a different source? I can't really understand why that would be, except perhaps from an aesthetic point of view.

It's because the suspension is stiffer if the car is lower, and also the center of gravity is lower, improving roadholding.
