Ah. Talking of the Peugeot 605, what is the "elastic" components in the top of the front supension turretts and why are there what appear to be vented hoses connected and leading down to the chassis rail?

Only on top line models. that was an electonic system using an XM hydractive ECU to control damper valves. This was a basic car without any electrical control.

Not a picture, Kev Sanders brougt his 605 to last years X-Rally and it had some strange hoses connected to what appeared to be air bellows mounted in the strut top bearing area. The hoses then went down to the chassis leg.
