Rather like your locking problem, this is impossible. Could it, I wonder, be air in the system? Being more compressible than LHM (which isn't). Try citaerobics - search here for full description but essentially it's exercising your suspension a lot using the height adjuster. If there's air in there it should get flushed out in the process.

My spheres needed replacing (very hard ride) and after replacing all 5 spheres the back end of the car is bouncing like crazy - there's practically no resistance at all so acellerating or breaking causes the back end of the car to fall down or practically shoot off the ground...

The height control valves do that for you. As they sense a drop or rise they try to compensate. Possibly not a full anti dive or squat system but certainly a very good mimic of one.
The hydractive system is more sophisticated I think and my XM is far less prone to dive or squat than the Xant is. Robin

Do Xantia's, or indeed any other L.H.M Citroens actually have anti squat, and anti dive because of the design.

Being plastic it might just float around in the oil, and could conceivably wash out of the drain hole when you next change the oil.

The ignition switch is likely to be faulty - easy to relay to take this out the equation. Kowalski had problems with the board in his fan burning out, you might have this too - do a forum search. The lack of control is probably due to the internal temp sensor being full of rubbish / it's small fan failing. It's behind the alarm LED, so you need to...

Hi, I have a 97 Xantia TDSX Estate and seem to have the usual problem with the ignition switch seemingly on its way out !

You should get your keys working first. I'm sure they're just mechanical, so have a look at the mechanism to make sure everything is still connected. Are all your locks rotating or just the drivers?
The early 2 button remotes were IR and the later ones (different style) were RF, so if they are compatible you'll need an early IR one.
