Managed to get some lhm in it today, but the suspension was not co-operating.
I timed it and it took 2 minutes for the back end to rise from normal height to max, the front was on the deck though and took just over 4 minutes to rise to normal height in, at this point i knew citrobatics were going to take a fair while
The warning light was on most of the time and the previous owner said he had problems where the low pressure warning would come on randomly whilst driving.
Steering assistance was fine so im assuming at this point i have a pressure switch issue.
After more working of the suspension the rear started to move within a minuite or so, which seems like far too long still so i decided to give the height correctors a clean as the cars history points to many hydrorincage sessions in the last 7 years from lots of reputable garages so i assumed it was bad in there
Removal was straightforward although there was no dogbone which threw me, i thought this was the rear Activa crrector but it seems like there is only one at the front as there is no other corrector on the back end.

now the pictures of the filth, there was massive dry waxy deposits in the corrector that dispite being surrounded by oil and a light covering of black were totaly dry inside, certainly not the usual gunk which has got me wondering if something has been in there that shouldnt of been, it was exactly the same as white candlewax???

The LHM in the system is actualy rather clean and new though so i dont know, i will be taking the front one off tomorrow and doing the same, give the linkages a good clean and grease too.
Also my management problem seems to be getting worse, it runs fine but if i try to lift the revs to say 1500 it would just get to 1500 and then die, releasing the throttle asap just kept it running and it would smooth out so it seems like a fueling issue, i do have a management light on for a few seconds and it lingers after startup.
Does anyone know if the EM ecu will send blink codes if i found the correct wire on the diag plug under the dash? its £50 to take it to citroen and then it depends on the monkey pressing the buttons too, also its cheating
