From 1994 all Xantias have the twin outlet pump, no flow divider valve and anti-sink. When its working correctly the car should stay at more or less the driving position for several days. There are additional spheres in the anti-sink circuit but they don't affect the anti-sink properties but in fact compensate for a drop in pressure when the valves open on startup.

I also find that even after 20 miles etc, I Can be at traffic lights and notice the front end going up a bit...

Can anyone describe the fully working way a suspension should work and what to look out for as it starts to go wrong.
