for the first time ever floaty ride in my xantia estate

falling-out-with-my-car · 19 Aug 2009, 23:01

I had all my suspension spheres done together today by pleidiaes and hydra flush added for the first time since I bought my xantia diesel estate five years ago.
it turns out that the spheres I had fitted as replacements three years ago may have been for a saloon car which have different pressures to those of an estate.

the ride is beautiful now even for a standard six sphere system it feels like a new car, I always thought the ride was a bit hard in the xantia estate but now its brilliant, I have dated the front spheres so I can make sure they are all replaced at regular intervals.

I wont be discussing the price I paid on the forum again as some members like to argue over a couple of quid I cant see the point if your a happy punter at the end of the day. Martin did a brilliant job is full of advice and handy tips, I just forgot the chocky biscuits on this particular visit.

regards Nigel

You cant beat the ride of a Citroen when all is well and working correctly

So true... I am just so happy with my XM these days. Son has allcando A4 Audi V6 diesel with all the bells & whistles - just so ordinary in comparison, and as for the ride - forget it!

Audi suspension

By comparison getting into my Xantia estate yesterday after being on holiday for two weeks reminded me of how good the suspension is, sooooo smooooooth
