Pressure should still be there if you haven't put it in low - the front will still be up after all... But hey, these are Citroens
I had this trouble when I did my orignal one, had had it in low, both rear wheels off the floor, pressurised it up and front came up, but was mightly confused that there was no rear brake (and ergo suspension) pressure until I dropped it down and got one wheel on the floor, and then let it rise up

Oooops, missed that bit

Indeed - that's what I did on mine. Then drove it for another 3 years before I finally had to do something about it.

Happy days then - mine were touching the discs for most of the 85k I had it before I finally gave in and did them
they were so bad I had to drift them out from behind the discs with a big hammer
