Citroen XM Forum

Hi, I have been offered a TCT SX auto for scrap metal money (must be the only one, never seen one lower than VSX!) it has MOT till june but the brake valve is leaking. While I doubt it needs more than seals, or possibly putting back together (My first XM pushed the end out due to a badly fitted circlip) The car is over 100 miles from me and id rather travel up with a valve, fit it put LHM in and drive back.

I will admit my interest is purely as spares for my Exclusive and I don't plan on keeping it. I do know it has a manifold blow (or worse) but other than that and the valve the only other issue is some laquer peel. I will review its fate once I have it here!

So does anyone have a valve they could sell/lend me to get this car back?

If it's identical to a Xantia one then yes, I have and will be happy to lend Zaphod...

If you break this car can I lay a claim on the cat please?

That car definitely needs just an end cap for the doseur valve. It's the one on Retrorides at Hinckley.

Ive a COMPLETE xm Valve and pivot AND pipes still attached to the 4 way manifold I could send out!!

Depends which stage is easyest, just the valve to swap, or the whole lot with pipes....

Oh, wait a min... Brave valve?? Whats one of those?

This is the car. http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.c ... ead=137334

the picture shows it's just the valve button gone, so is quick to swap in situ and no bleeding required.

You sure Will, Zaphod says his collection is an SX, the one in your link is a VSX

What would the chances of two Xm CT being offered for £150 and both with leaky doseur valves and both with MOT to June 2013.


If that is the case, can anyone tell me what the lottery numbers will be on saturday?

Yes it would appear to be that one. I know the previous owner, one Keith Adams, better known for the aronline website, he said it was an SX. As said it's final fate depends on what its like when/if I get it. I am wanting some strut tops for my Exclusive and this seems to be the best way to get some. However I really don't like the idea of killing a perfectly good car

I thought I recognized the numberplate from somewhere.
It looks like it could become a good example if some time was spent on it.
