Several people have sang the praises of Malcolm at Savoy Garage. I'm afraid I have to rain on his parade. We
bought an XM from him about 2 years ago.The warning bells should have been ringing when he insisted on selling it to us as for spare parts. We have had loads of trouble with it since then. Most of them have now been fixed. All I would say about Malcolm is: be wary.

LOL.

The spare parts were probably my injectors he failed to return to me.

Good one! At least now, in retrospect, I can have a bit of a laugh about it.
