Just to conclude this thread.

I got a phone call from the editor today, and I am the new Xm columnist.

So I'll be calling on some favours for articles soon :D :D :lol:

Yep, I have a few days now to get my first copy ready. I'm looking forward to it. The Xm is at a critcal point now, where it needs more recognition within the CCC. We're all doing our bit to save and promote Xms, so doing the same in the CCC will do no harm.

Super news Robert, well done.

If you're short of ideas a trawl of this forum repairs section should help. You could allay some fears such as how easy it is to do a 2.1 head gasket.. :roll: ;) :lol:

Well done once again Robert and I completely agree with your comments about widening appreciation of the XM. I am sure that having you as column editor in the CCC magazine will help and hopefully contacts on the Forum will rally and support with material when required. We all look forward to future editions!! All the best Matthew T.
