Citroen XM Forum

While looking for some info today, I came across a thread on a BMW owners' club site, where there was a discussion about the difficulty of draining the engine block (inaccessible drain plug). Fair enough, and someone suggested fitting an elbow in place of the block plug, leading off to a more conveniently placed drain tap. So far, so good . . .

But then several replies followed, pooh-poohing the idea as impractical. Why? Because owners tend not to have any means of raising the car to get underneath to fit the bits!

Well, it takes all sorts, I suppose. Perhaps they should stick to fitting some more LEDs and go-faster stripes on the ashtray.

Anyone who's anyone knows that a go faster stripe is good for +5bhp. The benefits of a drain point for the block is unknown in those circles.

WooOoody woo00dy hoooo.

Indeed, and a bunch of Halfords stick on 16V, Turbo or even V6 badges assure at least another 30!

And the rest....

Fit a Mongoose Exhaust, that's 30Bhp, cold air intake, another 30, triple electrode spark plugs, another 30.

It's amazing that adding a few bits of tat can add 120Bhp to a 2CV.

...and don't forget Ripspeed stickers, and the stereo equipment list on the front wing

It always beats me that anyone would want to advertise someone else's product...

Crazy isn't it.....

No its not, I would do it for sure on the prestige. Let's say £350/panel/annum £500 for the bonnet, sponsor to supply graphics.

Nice big Total logo would look great on your bonnet Dean
