Greetings.

Just taken the plunge with a 1996 XM Diesel Estate.

Plenty of engineering and spannering experience with other cars but this is first French one.

Appreciate any advice here.

Cheers

Welcome! You've come to the right place - there's more knowledge of XMs here than anywhere else.
Tell us what it is you've got - is it running, roadworthy? Or a project?

Its a 96 2.5 diesel. Around 120k miles.

A few electrical gremlins including rear wash/wiper, rear window operation from front switch, missing exhaust centre box, external trim fit and finish. But overall running well.
