I have had the car just 3 weeks, the rear suspension has been playing up since day 1. This in turn affects the rear brakes and makes for concise braking.
I have been to a local Citroen dealer who confirm there is a fault but are unable to diagnose it as their equipment is currently faulty.
The car is in A1 condition visually, the engine is superb and responsive bearing in mind the size and weight of the car.
There are plenty of goodies on this model and they all seem to work apart from one heated mirror.
There seems to be a fair bit of road noise at low speeds, but perhaps I am too used to hearing the engine in my old car.
The seats are comfortable on lengthy journeys, but it is awkward to find a place for your clutch foot to rest.
Overall, bags of room - an ideal family car, economically returning 40 - 45mpg urban and 55mpg on the motorways.
Sounds like a defective brake valve on the high pressure line. The car takes pressure from the suspension and this functions perfectly. But if there is a leak or even an obstruction in the lines then you have a sudden drop in height when you apply the brakes. This can turn out very dangerous if there isn't enough reserve pressure in the system. Even with the engine not running these cars can do several emergency stops with the reserve pressure unless there is a big problem of course.
