Almost certainly a sticky height corrector - how often's the fluid been
changed in the past?
It's not difficult - but you MUST sup****t the car properly before getting
under it. Dropping a ton and a half of XM on your head by depressurising
the suspension suddenly can rather spoil your whole day.

http://www.citroencarclub.org.uk/ds
gives all the theory and practice
behind the DS suspension - there's no real difference in concept to the
XM, except for the Hydractive (go to the main bit of the site, and
there's an article there on how that works, under the XM in "About the
Cars"
