which spheres?

Hi, Iam about to change the front three spheres on my series1 Xantia. My question is, would there be any benefit fitting spheres from a citroen dealer or from my local G.S.F. Are the Citroen spheres better? They are sure to be more exspensive. cheers Terry .

There's nothing wrong with the spheres from GSF, they may not hold their gas as long though.
If you're changing your accumulator then unless you know it was changed recently, you should change the rear accumulator too, known as the anti sink sphere.

Yep, as Xac says, GSF Amtex ones are good. I have a NOS one here that's a good ten years old and it's lost just 4 bars in all that time...

Good point on the rear accumulator too... So often forgotten as they are both a bit tricky and appear to have no function...
