Citroen XM Forum

Nice, easy fix.
It's not uncommon for the receiver to fail, possibly due to water leaking in via the sunroof.

it's surprisingly dry inside of the light unit

certainly haven't had any leaks myself during a car wash and some pretty heavy rain

window regulator replaced today

my god what a difference it makes, it's actually tolerable in there during hot weather now

i was feeling really good about this car, but this has really knowed it back a bit

Get used to it, it's 30 years old, French, with worthless electrics and a complicated hydraulic system that powers everything that matters . . .

. . . and it's French!

What could possibly go wrong

i quite love driving it now!

had quite the occasion yesterday

met up with a fellow local XM owner in his glorious blue example

same as mine, 93 turbo SD auto

Nice setting for a meet, is it Blyth?

Good to see you are using your Xm and that blue one looks really nice, the mid tone shows off the lines and detail, but yours being dark has the more sinister look.
Unsurprisingly the blue one has a dual electrics towbar, it was almost mandatory when they were new.
iirc, the Xm was Caravan Club towcar of the year due to the short rear overhang and hydractive suspension making for extremely stable towing.
