That was member maxferreira's car. It has fairly corroded hydraulic pipes and from that video has a fair amount of corrosion in the sills.

2.1Sd Auto, L382 CKK, RP6043.

Could be made into a nice car again. From memory, it's Astral Blue/ Mondial Blue code KLS.
It will be interesting to see what he does to the seat covers, which have already been repaired once.

Yeah

Was basically forced to sell that car as my partner disliked it, sold it for way less than it was worth as she didn’t care in the slightest

I miss that car every day, sign of life when it was wAy easier

Stuck with a 2008 C4 Picasso now

I miss my XM and my old life, that’s an excellent example of an XM that was torn away from me

Hope it lives a long and healthy life

Now you know why some people grow a thick skin.

It all seems to have gone a bit quiet on the YouTube front from the chap tat bought it, but his repair of thee hydraulic pipe is illegal and not going to pass an MOT.

"Repairs to the pressure lines of hydraulic brake systems are unacceptable unless suitable connectors are used. Compression joints of a type using separate ferrules are not suitable."
