AFAIK the adjustable suspension was a standard feature for the ones sold in my country, yet it's a PITA to find mechanics who know what they're doing while servicing vehicles fitted with this type of suspension.

It's pointless for city driving of course, but we already have 3 cars and I want to keep the car for long distance trips with family.
Sure it might be a nice car for long distance trips, but I must confess I would be quite tempted to get a Peugeot Partner/Citroën Berlingo instead. I have even seen some with underbody CNG tanks, as it's more usual than LPG in Brazil and some neighboring countries. I hardly see a Diesel-powered one by now actually.

I don't think Citroen themselves remember all the engine options they sold with Xantia. It can be a country-specific thing, but X1 (Series 1) Xantias had this engine, and also a turbocharged version called "Turbo Constant Torque".
I remember the turbocharged engine being fitted to the Peugeot 806. Haven't seen one for more than 10 years.

Yes, I believe that's what it's called. It's a sequential system, with a separate ECU, regulator/evaporator and 4 separate port injectors.
I used to see some illegal LPG conversions in my country that didn't have an evaporator, yet once in a while the intake manifold could freeze.
