Laminated spheres for Xantia

[Stewart(oily)]

My 99 Xantia HDI is less supple that it was, eternal cheapskate that I am I have noticed the laminated spheres fitted to the plentiful C5s in the breakers, will they fit?

I don't think the 'flying saucer' spheres fit directly (also they're specced to run on LDS fluid not the LHM in Xantias) as the size of the thread on the sphere fixing is different. There was a chap on one of the French forums who drew up and made a set of sphere adapters to fit the C5 spheres on to previous Citroens but you'd have to make them or get them made by an engineering works and they'd charde a lot!
New spheres aren't that dear now - get the ones from AEP as I think they're something like £22.50 +vat each and they'll last years. (though they couldn't get the rear ones for my Xantia yet Euro car parts could - defferent brand (AMtex) though)
