Citroen Xantia Suspension....

Hi Guys,Just got hold of a nice 2.1TD Xantia and was wondering if anyone knew what would cause the fron suspension to not rise correctly(ie not as high as it should be) and cause the STOP light to come on and go off randomly?? I think the LHM fluid may be low but the level indicator is as high as it can go in the sight glass so maybe its broken?? Steering an brakes feel fine and the rear rise's. The device that the accumlator is screwed onto clicks loudly as well so im wondering if its maybe that causing the issue or maybe the spheres or accumulator are faulty and need replacing??The car has done 157k miles on an R plate, its a Hatch as well and in the last 2 years according to service history has had new spheres, cambelt and clutch. Now it doesnt say which spheres but im thinking as it was mainly used for towing as most are unfortunately :o(Any Advice would be most welcome as i have the good old haynes book of lies ;o) and a decent amount of technical skill as the xantia we already own(1.9td) which may also soon be for sale!!!! and have done spheres and most routine things as well and have already changed the turbo on it as well so just looking for advice on the hydraulic side as im not too well up on its inards :o(TIA,Will
