Last weekend I managed to replace the accumulator sphere with the help of a local member of the French Car Forum.
It now raises and lowers much more quickly, and it's back to doing the 'arse in the air' trick when you sit on the foot brake in traffic.
I'm also working on a pikey straight-through exhaust. The section of tail pipe from the 316, where it rusted off just before the back box, is the perfect size and shape to go in place of the Xantia's back box! It just needs hangers fabricated. I've actually broken the seal on the Xantia's back box and have been driving it around like that and it's nowhere near as loud as I thought it would, but the turbo spool is fun, so I reckon the straight through should be alright.
