Hi folks.
I am an retired norwegian seacaptain / electro engineer living in Sweden.
After a misspatch to a "50% Citroèn" ; the C5; this is my 12th Citroèn since my first ID-19 in 1966 and my 3. XM since a -92 2.0 aut. saloon.
I can't wait to get her on the road after some refurbishment.
I need you guys here and at
http://www.citroenakuten.se to get there. Thanks in advance
//Erik
It is never too late to give it up

Welcome Erik and it is good to hear from your kneck of the woods. Out of interest which 24v engine does your car have - presumably the ESJ?.

Thanks Matthew.
Yes it has the ES9JF XFZ with ZF 4HP20 autobox.
The -98 also have 4 airbags and the bigger 288mm front disks (Bendix).
This car is imported by the origial owner from Germany, and I am the 3rd "caretaker"...........
PS.
XM is given away in Sweden. Look at this very fine example. One owner, only a cracked windshield. 2000 kronor is £200,-

Why do you think that, Jim? [emoji1] No sunroof here, either. Not a UK car, so it doesn't need a sunroof.
Besides, steering wheel just like on the picture. Not like yours with the accidentally swapped film negative... [emoji1]

Does this imply UK cars need sunroofs
