Regretfully, I'm going to have to move on my XM. I desperately have to reduce outgoings, and having been seconded elsewhere at work, I am now going to be doing ridiculous miles. Thankfully my old 205 diesel was offered back to me at just the right time, but the XM does need an enthusiastic new owner.
The following pics were taken by mouseflakes when I bought it, but are still representative. I'll give her a wash at the weekend and take some current ones however.
She's done 170 000 miles, however both gearbox and head gasket are currently intact
Since I got it, I have fitted four quality Vredestein tyres, replaced the doseur end seal, replaced accumulator and centre suspension spheres, repaired a sill, and recently fitted a new alternator. She drives well, but could do with the timing belt replacing for piece of mind (a new belt and waterpump are included, just haven't got round to fitting them) and the wishbone bushes are noisy and really want doing soon. That aside, the car is really rather sound, and doesn't need for much, perhaps outer spheres soon but not much else. Maybe a glowplug or two too as the coldstart is somewhat rough when temperatures are subzero, but that said it has only ever failed to start when the alternator packed in...
Tax until the end of April, Mot until December. Still in everyday use (I'm in Liverpool) but I intend to change over to the 205 next weekend, which will probably entail leaving the XM in Durham as I don't have any offstreet parking. If I did, I'd be sorely tempted to keep her
£450
