Citroen XM Forum

Went and picked up this mk1.5 2.1td SED yesterday.


Looks a little sorry for herself but drives really nicely.

Plan is to fix her and get an mot.
Might be asking for advice starting with the abs fault in the other thread.
Hopefully you guys are as helpful as normal

One thing she has proven is I much prefer the earlier cars and having a manual gearbox.

Are they cloth seats.
I just gone though all that ABS problems myself its a right pain in the *** neck, have problem still with the turbo that could be all down to the cheap German Copper wire that was used in Citroens.
But on the whole it don't look to bad on the out side just needs the Egg Coat Paint respray

Hasn't strayed far from home - its got a Devon registration.

Leather seats with a damaged drivers one.
Started an abs help thread already lol.

Peter I picked it up from Barnstable so not to far away.

NICE ONE Onza!!

Im a BIGGER Series one Fan, in fact prefer them too, the dash is sooo much nicer..

Absolutely agree. Mk1 interiors are so much nicer. Good to see another SED saved. Best of luck with the ABS.

K reg Leather Trim was much stiffer and harder then Early leather G - J and later M reg S2 leather...

My V6 SEi Auto also on a K plater is looking like this too, and in a right mess poor girl...

What colour is she Onza?

Very true, the leather is tougher, and mk2 leather seats seem to me much more comfy. Really padded and soft.
It's the look of the mk1 interior that suits the XM so well.

Mk.1 Dash's are better quailty as a whole, I find the Mk.2 dash has a lot of cheaper LOOKING plastic plain sections on it...

However, this is the bug bear, the S2 cars ARE more refined and quieter..

Totally agree. They are much more refined and the later V6's feel very modern and no different to any car on sale today.

So is Onza's XM green. Looks it to me.
