You must be narrower than me George, as the adjustable side bolsters are of no use to me!

Evening folks,

The Prestige passed her MOT this evening with fying colours, all she needed was a couple of brake flexi hoses, front pads, and an underside wash.

The TCT and Autobox work very nicely together, I prefer it to the TCT manual I used to have.

Evening Folks,

My Xm Prestige is now for sale. It has been an enjoyable car to own since the demise of my Xm estate. However time is marching on, and in March, my Blue 2.1 TD auto will be taken out of hibernation, and pressed back into service.

Feel free to ask questions, as the ad doesn't give all the information.

£1300 eh, there was a time not so long ago when that would never have sold, not sure it will sit around for too long now though, good luck with the sale, its a lovely looking car.

I hope it won't sit round too long either. The advertised price is one thing, but the sale price is another...

oh of course, but prices are on the up, in the last few years a lot of XM's have met their end and now they are getting rare prices are starting to creep up, im sure it will sell very quckly, just look at the Green MK2 that sold on ebay recently.

If I didn't have my G plater, I would keep this one. But its time for someone else to cherish and enjoy her. Thankfully Xms aren't suffering the same way as CXs have this past number of years.

Surely thats a rust issue though? people cant be scrapping good CX's over mechanical probelms?
