Hi folks,
I have my XM for sale. I posted on the XM forum lat year about my beloved 2.5TD losing power steering and braking power intermittently. Despite replacing the hp pump the symptoms still
persisted. Since then the car has been off road in my garage's compound and
they've asked me to clear it asap, as its cost my mechanic a few hundred pounds
in storage charges alone. It's defeated him as to what the solution is, various
Citroen 'experts' have come and pronounced solutions (the last one's remedies
totalled £4K!).
So, very sadly, it has to go. It's been my best XM ever, and still has lots of
mileage left. I'd love to get it back up and running, but I haven't the space or
the dosh to do so. It's way too good to scrap.
Here's the spec: dark blue P reg 2.5TD with aircon (not working -probably
needing a recharge) and cruise control (definitely working). Half leather upholstery. Strut tops absolutely fine. Most things work including the sun roof and it also has an Ulm air diffuser mounted next to the sun roof. Radio cassette works fine, the usual dodgy pixels, fuel consumption in
the upper 40s, recent tyres and spheres, no advisories on the last MOT that I
can remember. 191K, loads of history, and the garage where its stored has looked
after it for the last 5 years. In fact the mechanic there wanted first refusal
on buying it six months before this problem arose! Sorned since last September,
the only real problem iss this lack of hydraulic pressure, which is
intermittent.
The car's stored just north of Worcester (I live in Malvern). If anyone would
like to contact me off list I can give you the number of the garage and you can
get further info from them. Please give this car a good home -its fit for many
more years of happy motoring and I'm very sad to have to let it go.

Best wishes,
David.
