Not entirely sure how this has come about; Citroen cut funding to the Paris-Dakar team maybe?

Edited by OwenK on Monday 17th October 12:14
Just an air suspended C5 in the highest (service) position for the suspension. They didn't provide a jack with the air-sprung systems, if you got a flat you would put the suspension to highest, insert the axle stand provided, then set it to its lowest/normal setting - hey presto the wheel rises and the car's jacked up.
Citroen didn't use anything so common as air. It's nitrogen gas with a mineral oil
i'd have thought that the term "hydro-pneumatic" would mean it was some kind of watery air mix...
"Hydraulics" refers to any liquid fluid power; pneumatics relates to gaseous fluid power.
Guessing they changed it for the C6 as mine has a jack not an axle stand...

The hydractive system is based on an LHM/LDS as a fluid system which is controlled via spheres which are also pressurised with Nitrogen, obviously it has an electronic brain controlling it per se.
Sorry, some imprecision with the definition there!

I think they decided to chuck a jack back in once they realised the suspension wasn't always foolproof!

If he has to ask about tyres fitting, which he could find for himself with 5 minutes of research, then he's definitely got no clue about fitting centrelock wheels to a conventional hub car.
