Re: rescuing an XM - now with pics
A very nice find!
A Turbo Auto is a very good combination, the only bad thing is its appetite.
If yo can get it road going for £500, that will be a bargain.

if they agree to the price and the MoT doesn't show up anything expensive, then yes I will be keeping it. The BX auto will be going instead.robert_e_smart wrote:Only if you are going to keep it.

Re: rescuing an XM - now with pics
ouch! But at least 15mpg on lpg is like 23-5mpg in real terms in terms of cost.steelcityuk wrote:My turbo on LPG could go as low as 15mpg....

What's worse is the S2 VSX has a fuel consumption reading!
Does it put me off though ...

Good man Campbell.
I really like the Xm estates, or maybe I like mine so much because it has a 2.5 lump in it! I have to say the 2.5 has me converted over. The 2.1 is a snail in comparison!
