Xantia spheres in Ireland

[Eddie99]

Hi everyone,
Many years ago in London I had a CX, eventually it sat down and would not get up again!!

I now have an old Xantia. I need to sort out the rear suspension and I need even just 2 spheres for the back just to get it some way drive-able.

Is there any place in Ireland that the spheres can be got easily?
I was hoping for somewhere around Cork.

Thanks

Most people on here seem to recommend AEPdirect. They seem to be the cheapest around of satisfactory quality, although probably not of the same quality of an oem citroen part from the dealer, sam

Thanks Sam for your advice, I will look there.

does the back rise up?

Eddie, try your motor factor, they should be able to get them for you. Worst case get GSF in Dublin to mail them down to you or your mechanic.

@davoxx
yes the car rises and lowers to the correct levels.
I have added half a litre of lhm and just rechecked it - it is not leaking.

The rear suspension is very bouncy when on the road, like if the rear spheres are faulty.
I had a look underneath and the 3 rear spheres look old, the middle one is rusty, so I might be better of changing the 6 of them.

@robert_e_smart
Thanks for the suggestion Robert,
I will try locally but might get them sent to me from AEP Direct,
Will be in Dublin next week and might look in on GSF.
