I'd go with the sticker (and do).

Re: footwell airflow. It would be worthwhile to check the condition of the pollen filter. If that is OK then the problem is likely to be warped flaps not opening up the flow to the footwell or broken splines on the motor that moves the flaps.

many thanks for help. i thought the sticker surely must be right , but all the website were saying the same and 2.1 and 2.5 are pretty different - shall sort tomorrow as just been running car with all 4 tyres at 30 #-o .

If you get chance to attend one of the rallies (one coming up on the 7th April) you may be able to experience some 'proper' Citroen hydraulic suspension. C5s don't really compare with earlier models. An XM would be a good place to start.
