Xantia 94-1.9TD. Situation: When starting the engine the stop light goes of after a few seconds (normal). But when driving away it takes about a kilometer before the suspension finally becomes soft(before car rises). When driving the absorbers are perfect so no problem om the spheres I think.
What can I do to get the pressure on faster? (replace something?)
Even if I keep the engine running for half a minute before driving away doesn't help..

If theres sufficient LHM in the tank, then the problem is more than likely the pump is becoming slow with age. Temperature also plays a part, I've noticed mine rises slower in the cold weather.
Really theres not a lot you can do other than replace the pump, which is not cheap. You will find it will rise a lot quicker if you rev it to 2000 RPM for 10 seconds shortly after starting.
