Fingers crossed it isn't wishful thinking Elis.
Unfortunately with regard to the electro pumps - it's all the Euro trash - make everything lighter, recyclable, don't put any extra strain on the engine so as to get another couple of metres travel on a tank of fuel mentality. Having a mechanical pump running all the time on the engine? Sacre bleur.

Re: Le Mans dash and a faulty suspension pump.
Worth checking the current pull of that pump, and seeing what sort of strain the 40A fuse is coping with.
I have the 75-0-75A version of the Sealey ammeter here, and found it really useful (and accurate). Last time was sorting out glow-plug feed, where one solitary OE 2.5mm2 cable from GP relay to GP 'rail' was optimistically being expected to do the job. The car now has a second cable in parallel with it (as had earlier cars), of 4mm2, and GP current is now what BERU specify. The reward is immediate starting, even from cold.

Re: Le Mans dash and a faulty suspension pump.
That's true, I would have preferred Citroen use a belt driven hydraulic pump but perhaps use a electromagnetic clutch (like the A/C compressor) so that it's not constantly dragging on the engine (if they're so bothered by that)
Yeah I'll definitely look into that Sealey ammeter, however, I may spend a touch more and get a digital clamp meter that can do other things too,

Re: Le Mans dash and a faulty suspension pump.
Make sure that the digital clamp meter will also handle DC current; some of them are intended for AC use only in clamp-mode.

Thats true. I'm considering this one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UNI-T-UT210E ... Sw28pa9H-L

Looks like it covers everything.
Uni-T are very good; I have one of their digital multimeters here.
