Found this in my pile of brochures and info etc... might be usefull, though I spotted a mistake straight away, of mis-information slightly...
spotted it?? Claiming Special Premier Cars feature feature a rear spoiler and alloys... Rather then All Series one UK Cars feature the rear spoiler...
Anyway, the car featured looks to be heading for off the road, road tax ran out 1st Dec 2014, and the MOT up next month... theres no SORN on her...

That's a bit odd. I was deputy editor on it at the time but I have no memory of the piece at all. I can spot a typo though...

Ah yes. They were fun to research. There used to be a wonderful woman called Anne-Marie at Citroen who would dig out the most fantastic photos. Sadly she's left now. Shame I never got a chance to ask her to see what XM stuff they had floating around.

I wouldn't pay for one. The scanned copy has circulated online for free for years now, for example
here. MAN 058931 would be the S2 manual.
The S2 PDF is around 640MB, don't know what you're getting with 14GB.

Many thanks for your help ! If i had known.... Tried to download several times again but after 5-6 GB, my internet connection failed. Must have been a bug in that file ?
