Xantia - How many Ticks?
How many ticks would you expect when you start the car? Does it depend how long its been standing, etc?
I think we are refering to the ticking of the pump which is situated at the bottom left hand side of the engine. If the ticking is more than every 20 seconds once the engine is running and the suspension is under full pressure you have problem. Look to the search button and put in the word 'tick' that should help.
Cheers!

More details on the car please ? Year ? Model ? etc...
An anti-sink model when started from overnight should only click once when it finishes rising, and then will go into a normal cycle of clicking once every X seconds, with X being greater than a minute being good.
An earlier model without anti-sink however can have the regulator click several times during lifting up because the high delivery of the single output pump is greater than the demands of the suspension as it nears normal ride height. Once the car is lifted it shouldn't click any more often than an anti-sink model though.
