Although higher-priced than some, considering claimed recent work done it isn't bad at all- and you all know how rare late manual 2.1 XM are:

Hi Rohan,

Is this your 'C&C' F/S advert or is it a spotted F/S posting, as you state in your signature being the custodian of a '2.1TD Exclusive' :?

Also what made things confusing/coincidental was the fact in a recent posting of yours, you mention trouble with a driver door check strap too !
Rommel wrote:Hmm, I'd like to know this too, Norman I have the same problem that you do- the mounting on the body has cracked. Now when I get home and open my door fully, it sounds like a rifle shot echoes across the street. This obviously cannot go on- for the sake of both the XM, and my neighbours!! :D
The /\ quote from THIS thread for ref. also the F/S 2.1TD VSX had the same problem recently also tended to !
C&C Seller wrote:I have owned this Xm for approx 5 or 6 years it has 11 months mot & 5 months tax, the XM benefits from a New o/s/f door check strap, cambelt kit, water pump, coolant, auxilary belt & tensioner, recent in most recent order, front pads, Lhm change, clutch & clutch cable, full service, sphere's.
Great drive with working A.c, There is a couple of minor faults 1 being the outside air temperature sensor in the nsf mirror, (1 of the first jobs I had done on this car when I first had it) the other is the heater motor resistor has just started to play up preventing heater motor speed adjustment.
Price: £1650 Or near offer
Advert Type: For Sale
Category: Classic Cars
Make: Citroen
Model: XM
Model (alt): Xm 2.1 TD Manual
Year: 1999
Country: UK
Region: Somerset
Town: Weston-super-mare
Hence the initial question, so if it is your XM which is F/S you need to state what the current mileage stands at, along with photo-shots of under the bonnet/engine (Not forgetting the Strut-tops), and the interior too, to help with a sale ;)

Also I see a 'CLUB-XM' sticker in the back window too !

Good luck with the sale if its your XM, (Or if it belongs to another forum member) !

I think the car is in weston-super-mare but Rommel is in Glasgow as, I once lived there myself, and when I see his name on a post I always think "that's a long way from north africa" :-)

That isn't Rohan's car. I too wonder what the mileage is as it looks a nice car.

It is indeed very rare, I think manuals were only available to special order after 1996. I like the colour to, one of my estates was the same. I think someone on the club has a late manual estate that colour or did have, can't remember who though.

Hello XMX, as you may well have realised by now, it isn't my car! I though it noteworthy due to the rarity of this engine/gearbox/EPIC combination.

Were I selling mine....yes, I am fairly sure there would have been more information!

Could it be LHM?
