Today's update:
My mechanic changed oils, filters and belts in motor and gearbox, changed antifreeze, repaired hydraulic - changed some pipes (he used copper pipes),

...

I am very grateful to have good mechanic :D
Is copper strong enough for high pressure hydraulic pipes?

..I changed all the pipes to BX with copper pipes 15 years ago, I didn't have any problems.

After buying new battery and changing all heaters (again), the engine starts immediately.
The issue with interior lights is resolved with a help of Xm Diagrams phone app and Fuse box diagram; In place of Shunt (22 and 23 fuse place) someone placed two normal fuses.
Now interior lights illuminate after unlocking and bord computer does not reset after engine shut.

I have sad news to share with you. My Roger commited suicide sunday morning. We woke up around 6 A.M., the front was on flames. The evening before We were shopping in Slovenia, I parked around 6 P.M.
Now I have two XM-s parked at my friends ranch.

Shame, it must have been an electrical fire.
