The hydraulic suspension fluid level warning light keeps coming on but the level is correct, the engine dies momentarily when crusing but picks up if foot kept on the accelerator and the cruise control works intermittently,,,,,are these faults connected and what is the cause or causes - the Citreon people are scratching their heads and making mega expensive noises

Early models like yours had a alternator related problem which caused the engine to cut out and the headlights to momently cut out subject to a citroen recall,whether this is related to your problem I would not know.
