Citroen XM Forum

Hi all, i know your gonna hate me, but i'm breaking an XM i bought, i'm using the engine for a conversion,

Just so you know the car was a cat C write off,

its a mark 1 saloon in black

and all the window switches and regs had already been removed.

other than the above parts and the interior everything is there

please contact me stuartdowers@googlemail.com

the car is in Loughton, Essex, IG10

Hi Stuart

I take it its the turbo charged version not the 2.0i N/A version then?
And if you could let us know the spec of the car ( i, si, prestige etc etc) also does it have leather and A/C?

Thanks
D

its an sei it had leather, bu already sold, he took door carrs and seats, its got air con and it did work, so if any air con bits are needed i need to find a safe way of emptying the gas

Ah yes i think i know who took them, was his name Dave by any chance only safe way is to have an a/c engineer round to evacuate the system for you, shouldnt cost much at all but i would wait for requests first, the longer the system stays gased the better.
Whats the project anyway?

Hi Stuart,
I spoke to you a few weeks ago about an engine mount, but you hadn't removed the engine yet (is it out now?).
I was going to email a pic of the part but I haven't got round to it yet (I need to remove other parts to get access so I can photograph it).
I would also be interested in the strut tops if they're in good condition.
I assume the engine is going into a Puegeot...........?

yeah enigine is going in a 205 i'm affraid, which engine mount is it, the car is in the garage now so i'm starting to do it all, one of the top mounts has slight surface rust, and the othr is tip top, Dave in here bought the seats and can tll you what condition there in, i understand they can fetch a fair few quid, they wr going to go on ebay, but if a sensible offr is made i dont mind letting them go through here.

i have access to the citroen microfiche at work, so i can get the pictures of the break down of the engine mounts from there and email them to you if that would be easier

Hi Stuart,

the part I need is a rubber engine mount which sits under the right hand top engine mount. It consists of a metal plate, held down by two or three bolts and has a solid rubber block with a metal disc on top which the engine mount sits on. You'll see it when you remove the engine. Hopefully you won't need it for your conversion job.

It's part no. 5 on this diagram........



Here's a better picture of it



Putting the strut tops on Ebay is probably the best thing to do. You'll get the best price that way, and everyone gets a fair crack at them. Don't forget to include some photo's though.

It may have been someone called dave who took the seats...
I did have a look at the strut tops, and from a fairly inexpereinced perspective they looked ok, If we could have got them off i would have had them!
The n/s had surface rust, and it didnt look like the gaiter had slipped down, but the car was on low. the o/s didnt appear to have any rust, again only viewed from the top.

hi there mate, sorry for the delay in reply, not to sure exactly when the engines coming out as i've got to sort the loom out first, the second its done i'll let you know, got a few bits on ebay, if its any use to you or anyone else, my user name on ebay is stuartdowers1298

Hey,
Do you still have the black carpet in the car.. and is it in reasonable condition?
Cheers
