New owner of XM VSX Estate R267PGF
Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2014 7:29 am
Hi
I am the new owner of R267PGF, the blue XM estate that I picked up from Sam the weekend before last. Thankfully the collection trip back to Cheshire was uneventful, fuel consumption was not too bad and I enjoyed the "magic carpet" ride. There are a few small jobs to do on the car over the next few months, mainly fixing a few small bits of trim, and reinstating the sun roof which is sealed up at the moment.
I am still getting used to the myriad of switches and guages on the XM as my other daily car is a 1991 Pug 106 XN which is very no frills.
I have a few questions and perhaps forum members can help me with these;
- The car idles at around 900rpm - is this the normal idle speed for a 2.0 petrol turbo (XU10JTE?)
- I can change gear on the auto box without holding in the button on the selector handle - I'm guessing this is not supposed to happen - how hard is it to fix?
Cheeky I know but I'm also looking for a few parts;
- n/s front headlamp washer nozzle cover
- n/s front wing trim with chrome strip
- sunroof motor and whatever linkages needed
All answers/offers gratefully received! Hopefully I will master posting pictures on this forum shortly!
Thanks Ed
