In the UK, aren't all the hydraulic Mk1 C5 hydractive 3 while the later c5 upper models are all hydractive 3+. Lower models are coil spring and damper. The main difference is the button for sport and comfort ;) While all the hydraulic C5 stay flat.
Is the 1.6 slow compared to the 1.9 xud in a BX ;)
Ordered the lexia cables yet?

True. You need an Exclusive (or possibly a VTR+ if the first owner ticked the options box) for Hydractive 3+. By all accounts the steel sprung chassis is very good, but let's face it, you might as well have a Peugeot. Which is why they are cheaper.
Also do not go for the 1.6. They are cheap because they are bloody slow and the turbos go pop. It's too slow in my Focus. Now imagine it in a big estate.
