Thats the one. It started life as the DS19. DS is actually a French
pun. It is prounounced Dee Ess, which means Goddess in French.
A later entry level version of the DS was called ID, again a pun. Idee
means Idea.
In the UK suspension spares for Citroens are not too expensive. A good
source being a company in Glatton, Cambridgeshire called Pliedes.
I understand the founder was an aircraft engineer, so he has a
thorough grounding in high pressure hydraulics!
