Xantia TD Spheres

Suspension on my 96N xantia TD is getting a bit bouncy, i take it its ready for the spheres to be changed (i've had the cara year and they had been done a while before i bought it (i do alot of miles). I'm not sure of the intervals for changing these but unless you can think of another reason why the suspension would be softer than normal i may aswell get them changed.

so, questions are, whats the interval for these.? How much is it likely to cost for all 6 (2 front 2 back anti sink and acc)?

cars done 125k mainyl motorway AFAIK. Is there anything else that would help things whilst this work is being done ie flush etc etc....

Secondly the lighting seems very dim (all lights, headlights, dash board lights. to the point of sometimes its a little tricky to see in the dark.

Its a nearly new alternator (3 months) had the belt + tensioner and everything done at the same time. It is charging at 14v or so Battery is 12 months old. Just a little confused as to wh this is like it is. Any ideas?

Cheers

I take it you've checked the obvious things like battery terminals and the -ve connection to the chassis?

What about wipers/windows, are they slow?

You could have an earthing problem. Look for a bunch of black wires bolted to the chassis, underneath the battery IIRC. Clean these up and smear some vaseline on, then bolt back up.
