Nice car. I wish I could get one in the States X__x Kinda figured it was a leveling valve issue :( Glad everythings cherry now :D

[Gchoob]

Sure was - the leveling valve was a replacement with a supposed 'better' damper in it (meant not to get blocked) but it had no delay effect at all! Car went into that^ cycle also because it had been standing on high setting and then reversed into the garage, parked and then the height lowered to normal position - itis can cause the tyres to wedge forcing them apart a bit and causes the suspension to 'hunt' up and down but it shouldn't do it as fast as that^! Anyway this was several years ago now

Wait... you actually drove it when it was flopping around like that?

You're brave. :P

[Gchoob]

I did! however it stopped doing ^that^ while in motion, it instead just became hyper sensitive to even mild road humps and went loopy again. It now (2009) works very well with none of that craziness^^ lol

This shows that Citroëns are alive and have character and are not like one of those boring German or Japanese cars...
