Suspension question

[BXcitro]

I got all 5 spheres and LHM flushed and replaced yesterday and I'm loving the new magic carpet ride.

Only thing now is that it stays in 'normal' position for hours, saying that, it's been parked up now for 24 hours and hasn't sunk one bit.

The rear height corrector works fine as I've done the sitting in the boot trick.

Before the rear would sink in about 2 hours and the front would overnight.

Is this normal for the suspension to stay up with new spheres fitted?

Its supposed to stay up and I am jealous of it .!

[BXcitro]

I always thought the system depressurises after a few hours hence why they did the anti-sink on the Xantia.

That's working well then.

That is exactly how it should be mine would take about 48 hours to sink after I rebuilt all the components in the Hydraulic system.

[BXcitro]

That's good to know then! Thanks for your replies.

It won't last, enjoy it whilst it does

Well 72 hours on and she's still up and hasn't sunk at all. Isn't it better for the suspension to be in low position, if parked up for a while, taking the pressure off the spheres? Or is that just a myth?

I'm being told, that the hydraulics are in good working order, hence why it's staying up, so why did she use to sink with the old spheres?

No it is perfect, you are in a very envious position so stop worrying and enjoy.
