Hi,
You'll need to elaborate a bit more on 'mind of its own'. What symptoms does the car display?

Cheers

Hi,

Could be something to do with the height corrector, which is attached to the front ARB - although mine did this when the front strut was worn internally.
Check the height corrector and grease-up the actuating mechanism to make sure its not sticking. Then give it a few cycles of the height control lever in the car - top to bottom.

Also have a read here to familiarise yourself with Citroen Hydraulics.

Cheers.

P.S. Don't go under the car playing with the height corrector linkage unless the car is supported on axle stands.
