Selling off one (or bits
) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

I hope she serves you as well as she has me Bob.
Hi Ken.
I had a really pleasant surprise to find she drove so well, and so fast!! I stopped off for a meal and diesel for an hour and was still home by 9 PM and that was after leaving you around 4:30 PM. And you didn't tell me she had quite a load of diesel in the tank! I'll re-imburse you for some of that as I only expected enough in it to get me to a petrol station.
A big thank you Ken for your help and for the good deal.
Bob.

No problem Bob at all. I hate buying a car when the fuel tank is virtually dry and would never sell one like that. The grey BX that I bought in London a few weeks ago had a full tank! that has to be worth more than £60 these days.
Glad to hear she got you home OK, not that it was in any doubt

My XM came with over half a tank. I thought the fuel gauge was stuck for the first 100 miles, then it finally moved...
