CitroJim's Citroens

It looks very good. I've had mine "Terracleaned" (http://www.terraclean.co.uk/); it's certainly running nicely, and I'll let everyone know if the consumption's any better. It's currently averaging about 28mpg.

[CitroJim]

So what do you think of the Terraclean process then Alan?

There's a been a bit of a discussion over on the FCF about it... Some postive but others a bit unsure over how it can make the claims it does. I'm neutral as I have no experience so will not comment. Hence I'm keen to hear your views in more detail..

Which of yours did you have done as again over on the FCF there's a Xantia V6 owner with power issues he just can't resolve and maybe that's what he needs...

Ran down to Somerset and back in the XM to see dad yesterday.

It was a good but knackering day... The XM ran absolutely faultlessly and is so comfy and cosseting on such a joirney

One thing I did notice was the effect on fuel economy following replacement of the oxygen sensor - for the considerably better

Yesterday was good for spotting. Two Xantias, two BXs, one DS, one 2CV and finally an XM!

All but one Xantia and the XM were seen in deepest Somerset. The XM was seen in Buckingham and the second second Xantia near Milton Keynes...

It seems Somerset still has a lot of hydraulic Citroens running around. This time last year in the small town in Somerset where dad lives I saw three Xantias together in the town centre carpark. Mine made four... The carpark was not large by any means...

I have been seeing more Xantias of late too Jim. Nice to see them. Unfortunately in Cheltenham at least, BX, XM and 2CV seem very thin on the ground..so thin almost non existent.

The older hydropneumatic Cits are thin on the ground here sadly. I think people here are generally quite conservative/bland in their car-owning choices. Only really ever see one local XM and there's a scruffy Xantia I see around at times.

I did a double take when I drove past the Tramway Theatre a couple of nights ago and saw a very tidy S1 Xantia parked up outside! Would have stopped for a pic but I'd left my phone at home....

Jim, if you are bringing the XM to CXM this year then I really must insist that you take me out for a brief spin, so that I can see what all the V6 fuss is about! (I'll probably be ruined for life all over again, same as last year, this time with a V6 twist!)

Rommel, Never mind the XM Auto V6, you need to have a go in the S1 PRV Manual one. They are even quicker and faster and "Louder" then the later ESJ V6 engines...

[Rommel]

Paul, I have watched the YouTube vids of those in the past! I love the sound of those....

[citroenxm]

Ahhh, but to hear them "FOR Real" is something else..

[Rommel]

I bet! Roll on September!

I can't wait to experience the V6 24V. Jim has kindly offered a spin in his V6 this weekend.
