The new sphere's you fitted, do you have the make and model of them? I'm wondering whether they are of the correct spec.

GSF. 55 bar front 30 rear

BTW, what's the colour and mileage of your car? It looks gold on an iPhone screen!

Appear to be the correct ones.

Citroen call it "Zephyr"

AKA gold in English, mileage is 36K

Not into gold in the slightest but if it ever came up for sale, it would be difficult to turn down.

55 bar front and 30 rear is standard for a td or petrol. What you need is 40 bar rear which is what BX and CX had. CX turbo fronts I tell ya!

You know what. I spoke with Martin at Pleiades yesterday and I have a terrible feeling that the spheres supplied to me were for a VSX. The shimming is different as is the bore for the damping.

The bore is changeable with care. However, the shimming is not.

I am probably going to have Martin do some investigative work as the harshness of the ride is driving me nuts.

Subject to his findings, it looks as though I'll have to swap out all the spheres.

Are we going to see it at any point this year as we always see you in the DS or Xant estate nowdays?
