This is the model with the active anti-roll bars on it is it not thus the 2 extra spheres over the hydractive 2 system if memory serves.
Not many xantias with this system on it that I've seen anyway.
This must have cost you a few hundred quid to get done.

That was actually a really good price to get all that work done.
Yeah in sports mode it locks out the centre spheres so there's not the same fluid capacity or obviously the extra dampening of the extra spheres.
Have to agree this is a complex suspension I've worked on one and did find it a bit of a struggle.
It's definitely one of these things on a car where a training course on it in it's day would have been a must.
I also think you must be a bit of a Citroen enthusiast as this model puts a lot of people off due to the complexity but when running right they are lovely.
