accumulator or not

As I have not won the lottery this week I am going to start and replace spheres next week. Looking at the Ger/swed lot I notice that they are quoting a sphere front centre for the xantia, I have a sphere I suppose is in the centre and its at the front, but I thought it was the accumulator as its right at the front down below, right by that bolt you have to loosen to depressure the system.
I assume they are not one of the same. If what I think is the accumulator,where is the front centre one, I have a back centre but front?
My chariot is Xan 1.9td 1998 non hydroactive ( just the normal hight control)
Any guidence would help. If you can understand.
Thanks, Steve

With a non hydractive version your only front centre sphere will be the accumulator, screwed to the regulator which is bolted to the front of the engine near the starter motor.

The sphere you are looking attached to the engine is the accumulator. The one at the rear is the anti-sink sphere. If you had hydractive then you would have centre spheres mounted on the firmness regulator which are attached to the body, at the front just behind the radiator.
