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

I used to think I was the only one with a non-sunroof XM but now I know there is two of us

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
