Heh. Excellent urban myth

The only thing is, the Citroen sinks/sank to it's lowest level
anyway when

the engine is shut off.

Also the brakes and suspension ran off the same system.


Not an urban myth, actually happened, reported in the papers as I
have said. Whether those reports were accurate is another matter.
You could probably find some reference to the incident if you were
to rummage through newspaper cuttings libraries.


They ran off the same hydraulic pump, though I thought the baking system
had a separate accumulator.

Some had rear brakes which had a variable pressure limit according to
the suspension are position, ie weight proportionate.

That they did.
If no-one ever rode in the back, the rear brakes never worked and the disc
rusted up.
Big problem for the MOT.
