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 agree and think Nigel might too now...
When returning to Little Horwood I was following Nigel round a very tight, blind bend slowly then he booted it....I was caught in the wrong gear but after a down change progress was restored..
I've not checked my tyres yet after missing the turning while on the convoy...smoke..what smoke...

Yes Will..
I must confess, i thought i'd lost you for a while there Will , but not for long !!, a quick glance in the mirror, ( thats unusual for me )
and lone behold the imposing site over a mk1 bonnet was just below my tailgate !!, seems that the 2.1 does have good pull, after that i could not shake the bloody thing off
,
Very nice Xm Will, Should have asked if you wanted to swap !!!!

I HAVE to take my Hat off to Will!!
Id previously just done my Head Gasket on my 2.1 as it had blown between cylinders 1 and 2 completely!
However, Will's work on the head and perseveriance with his work on his Cylinder head re build has certainly paid off the car sounded absolutly stunning - I certainly noticed when mine - and my landlords SED 2.1's with identical fuel system is at idle theres a strange kind of um, drumming noise from the exhaust.... were as Wills didn't have! His sounded amazing...
The body condition is amazing too.... Stunning Will..... ! Very very nice...

Will's car is superb.... Shame about the wheel trims
I love the colour, I love the interior. Perfect. It will look even better with the new SE rims on it.

I'm just looking round for getting them refurbed as I am a bit short of time for doing them myself.
