Citroen XM Forum

About two years ago I bought this Half XM as it had a 24v PRV engine and gearbox in it and I wanted the wiring loom from it but ended up not using it.

The car has the engine, gearbox, driveshafts, hubs, struts, strut tops, front strut feed pipes, dash board dials, hand brake cables, gear lever and suspension height selector still there. It might have the two front cats but I'm not sure.

It's been under cover in a barn before I bought it and it's had a tarp thrown over it outside since I've had it. I've never had it running but it does turn over freely with a bar on the crankshaft pulley. The guy I bought it from said that the engine and box were fantastic. Apparently it had been run on fully synthetic oil and changed ever 3k miles for the 10 years he had it before me.

Apparently the rear of the car was a mess with corrosion so the guy took a stihl saw to it and cut the whole car in half

Anyway, here's a few pictures of it:







I do have the ECU for the car which DOES NOT request a code when plugged into a car, I tried it on my old green 24v and the light went green as soon as the ignition was turned on.

Price wise I don't have a clue what to ask for it to be honest, not in any hurry for it to be moved so don't mind holding onto it or even bringing it down south on the trailer next time I'm heading down.

As mentioned on my other post these engines seem to be very sought after by Alpine owners David so that might be the way to go! With regards, Matthew T.

Mathew ! Thats a deafenate NO TO YOU FOR THAT!

THIS engine must NOT GOTO A RENAULT ALPINE OWNER!

dont you thnk we have donated enough xm engines to other make car owners!!

Are you not interested in it yourself for a bunch of 24v specific parts at all mathew?

One half of me wants this to slot straight into my prestige, the other half wants to keep the prestige as is, easy to work on and simple to get bits for.......................its a tough one.

David, how many miles has she done?

D

Not sure off the top of my head Dean, will have a look later.

David.

This is sold i beleve..

That would be to you then Paul!! Although I was tempted I admit I already have a spare engine and David is rather far away. With regards, Matthew T. PS did you get my recent pm on a related matter?

Yes mathew but finding it rather hard to see that car get broke up due to the nice low miles.

Wouldnt a re engine be a better option for the car?

Who has bought the car. ?

David, advertise it as a project car....

Slight attention needed. Some parts missing...

It's true...

Just weld some castors onto the rear of the floor and drive it as an open topped car. It would be rather quick.
