1995 2.1TD Manual VSX Estate

Post by citroenmad » Mon Mar 21, 2011 8:06 pm

I don't appear to have made a members gallery on here, thought I had but I can't find it if so. There are pictures in its original for sale thread but here is a full members gallery. :)

Here is our 1995 'N' Citroen Xm 2.1TD manual VSX Estate, bought September 2009 with 58K miles and a full service history. Its fitted with the Bosch fuel pump, which is a bit of a bonus but it will never be run on veg oil! It was owned by Citroen for the first two years when it covered a very very small mileage. Its first owner then bought it, they owned it until 2008 when it was sold to the person we got it from. He only had it a year but covered 10K miles in that time. The immediate job was to get the cambelt, tensioners and water pump changed, as despite its extensive history there was no mention of this being carried out, though the Indy who did the work said they thought it had already be done, you can't be too sure though! Its only done 4,000 miles in 18 months, as its not used over winter months and then only occasional days and not as a daily driver. Its now done 62K miles and is getting quite well pampered! Its had routine servicing and a few bits and bobs and a bit of a tidy since we got it, but it was good to start with. Ive added the 'cob web' alloy wheels, eventually got a new headlamp washer to replace the one with the missing cover etc. The spheres have been done recently but I need to get some hydraflush and then give it some fresh LHM. Its been a pleasure to have around and is a real joy to drive.

I took a few new pictures on Friday, here is a selection of them:

Ive got a few more things I want to do with it, could do with a new windscreen for example, but its condition is about where id like it anyway.

Now the weather is turning a little better ive been enjoying using it a little more, its going like a dream. No doubt we will have it at this years CXM and possibly a few other meets too.

I don't normally like XM estates, but yours looks great in Magenta...especially when it's slammed...which goes to show...all Citroens should be sinkers.

Looks very clean Chris, very clean - you can't half tell a low mileage car.

...and as for 'slammed' Cit's - here's a quick photoshop of my Visa! Sorry for O/T.

Thanks dieselman, Magenta is a very nice colour. There seems to be a couple of maroon colours in the S2 range.

Well its lucky this Xm IS a sinker then. :lol: Though it takes a good few hours to sink, even when left over night it doesn't sit totally on its stops.

Yep. That's great as a beater, love the seats and zorst.

Why did I have to see Issacs Ami8?

I noticed there was an LNA on there. The Guy I bought my XM from had picked an LNA up as well as part of the deal from the original owner of both cars, he wanted the LNA as it was super low mileage.


Chris. Sorry for the off topic.

Thanks Dean and Franklin, im quite happy with how its looking :)

THats a very good photoshop, you just need to rub down the bonnet and give it a self colouring (rust) style and go for the 'rat' look.

The attention to detail on that car is amasing, just look at how they have created an exact matching pinstripe on the side panel. :lol:
