You've done a fabulous job Vince; you have far more patience than I!

I'm not far away, but don't feel I could subject you to my (fairly manky) XM engine bay...

Robert its the 1.9 TD engine and as far as the useability of the car goes, this car gets used alot....Ive got 2 kids and a wife that doesnt drive so this car is the family hack....The way i see it is the more i use it the more i get the enjoyment of cleaning it back up again afterwards :lol: ...thats the bit i like really like :geek: As far as looking at Xantias goes......you have CX's and XM's.....youve got a great spread of cars 8-)
Even more impressed now arent you!!! i know i was, to keep a car looking like that in use takes some doing!!.

Yes i do use it.... :)

Its done just over 125,000 miles so far and tomorrow its on repping duties for work travelling from Oldham over to Liverpool, then being dragged round garges in Liverpool all day and then back over to Oldham after work. Also this weekend im planning on going down to Bournville just south of Birmingham to take the wife and kids to Cadbury's world....Cant remember how many miles that is but its about 125 miles each way i think :P

Youve got to drive Citroens...Thats the best part ;)

P.s. If your kids like chocolate then Cadburys world is a great day out...we've been before 8-)
