Just to confirm, you should be able to put near enough three fingers between the top of the tyre and the wing at the front wheels and 1 finger at the back wheels. Careful of your fingers mind.

Does your Xantia Estate have Hydractive suspension? (Sports button next to the suspension lever or up by the steering wheel if its a series 2)

With the suspension on normal height, is there any suspension movement at all?

If you suspect the spheres, the only sure fire way is to get them pressure tested or swapped out (unless you're really unlucky and get another set of duds).
