Sounds like you need new spheres on the Citoen, just had mine done - what a difference, feels like I'm gliding instead of using a pogo stick.

We had a 'bouncy van' problem a few weeks ago when we went away with our full awning in the back of the car instead of the Ultima awning in the 'van (it's packed over the axle) - van was quite 'twitchy' and bouncy.  So we will now take the little awning with us even when the big awning comes too - the extra weight over the axle seems to make a huge difference.
