Yes, that as well
Now you don't have to wait for the glow plugs or suspension they make a good getaway car

Re: Interesting C5 suspension issue
You don't too often get suspension problems with C5s, as they are a bit more simple in that area and have much less pipework. However if the pump goes it will cause it to eventually go into low. Ive driven one without a working pump and it stayed near normal ride height for my 20 mile journey, I would be worried about using the car for longer as it will start to lower.
Pumps ar enot a common failure and easy to get hold of should you need to.

So there's some hope here for the re-appearance of Citroen get-aways, otherwise perfect for lugging the bullion...robert_e_smart wrote:The other handy thing with the electric pumped C5 is that the pump will whirr when you use the remote locking plip, and the car is at proper height/pressure when you are ready to take off.
