One of the advantages of hydraulic suspension in no bloody springs that can break  :y
But you run out of brakes, as some shared fluid between brakes and suspension ;D.

That caused dad to clench tightly when it happened to us one day ;D

C5's have "normal" brakes.

And on older models big red lights will light up. And even with a big leak there schould be enough pressure in the brake accumulator.

T'was on a GSA, which only had those (typically Citroen) stupid little lights, easily missed.  First thing he knew was it wasn't slowing down.

He claimed it was a fart, I'm not so sure ;)

Lights?

I'd want alarm bells and an ejector seat so I could point the bloody thing at the nearest cliff and bail out. :o

Would you want that on your Omega too, when a brake line fails?

One line in each of the two redundant circuits, presumably? ;)
