hi and welcome

i cant answer your question as i havent had to do this on a C5 as yet,

although it is the BMC's system that was hydro elastic

,

the citroen system is full hydraulic

The usual method applies, using Citaerobics.

If the LDS container has been drained, the pump needs to be primed by applying a moderate pressure to the vent hole on the containers lid.
Even a bicycle pump may do fine.
