Xantia sinking on starting (TD 1995)

About ten seconds after starting the rear starts to drop, the front appears to rise, then the pump catches up and it rises and levels OK.
I fitted a new anti sink sphere. Is it the accumulator sphere at fault? All responses appreciated. Also my tachometer sometimes sticks at 50mph and stays there until I whack the dashboard hard!
Thanks
John

I think the time has come for a new accumulator sphere.

Tachometer (revcounter) and 50mph[?][?][?]
Is it the tachometer or the speedometer that sticks?
Either one it's probably mechanically sticking so a strip and a clean will do I'd say[:)]

I have had that problem with my xantia.it is an electronic device and had dry solder joints on the panel.
