81 Spheres - replace or regas? Suspension
Citroen XM Internet Reference Version 1.0 119

Main Front Spheres - fit normal replacements (see later) when your Hydractive system is working
correctly' If the Hydractive is NOT working properly, some relief can be gained by using BXspheres
which run at the same pressure as the XM. The BX 500cc sphere will just fit the XM and if the.
Hydractive system is naff, fitting a sphere with a 1.65 by-pass orifice will give you a much softer ride. As
Andy says, a 500cc sphere will have more resilience than the 400cc unit.
New or Recharged?—Phil Wells (dive le Citroen, Keston, Kent) says always fit new spheres. He has had
good results from pattern parts from Belgium, which are cheaper than genuine Cit. parts, but he advised
me to fit only a genuine main accumulator. The well-known names in re-charging can be relied upon to
do a good job with refurbished spheres and I have had many readers extolling the virtues of those who
advertise in the magazine.
