Does anyone have or know where I can get an 'official' set of instructions for lifting the Hydractive C5 X7?

Unread post by davoxx »

I'm looking for an 'official' set of instructions for lifting the Hydractive C5 X7 to give my NCT centre.

Don't want them to burst my new strut, I need to have it before the test.

I'm going to laminate it and stick it on the dash.
why?

Not quite 'official' but good enough.

It's not in my manual, because I guess I'd never have a need to lift all four wheels off the ground. Is it only in Citroen dealers docs?

I put these instructions up for members because most won't be aware of the official procedures used at the dealers who have properly trained mechanics. Owners are not expected to undertake procedures where the vehicles will be lifted completely off the ground. We also produced labels for owners to have in their cars to notify garages who also may not be aware and as a result of C5 and C6 owners having burst / weakened LDS tanks.

I appreciate that, but my NCT centre (like an MOT centre except run by clowns for profit only) refuse to do it unless I can present them with 'official' documentation.
Already lost a shock because of them, and their head office says onus is on me to present them with it.
Would it be possible to email it to me if you'd rather it not on the ether.
