Richard, yeah Citroen were very different, my Citroen was a GS Club with all the hydraulic gizmology.

I remember to set carburation required depressurising the suspension first, in order to remove the load of the hydraulic pump from the engine...! Apparently they used to snap camshafts on occasion as the hydraulic pump was driven of the end of the camshaft... I believe the Citroen suspension suspension design and components such as the "spheres" were used by other manufacturers such as RR, apparently buying the spheres from Citroen as opposed to RR could save a few bob..?

Apologies for the thread drift, but it`s good to chat..? smile
