Citroen XM Forum

Hello. I'm Alan and I've owned XMs since 1995. The first was a 1990 (1989-built) S1 V6 Si manual, which I still have awaiting major repair to the non-functioning front suspension. The second was a 1994 S1 24v, my favourite, which I still have awaiting major repair after the engine blew. The current one is a 2.0 Turbo Exclusive I've been driving since May 2008.

My dad has a 2.0 estate, a V6 estate and a 2.0 CT estate, so our combined experience is considerable (though we're still often dazed and confused). And he's currently driving an AX of mine, and I also have a Xantia V6. Someone ought to tell me that's quite enough...

Not quite...you need to broaden your horizons into diesel territory..

hi alan im andy a new member you mention your 24 v engine blew can you tell me what the damage is. i also have a 24v and have been told getting engine parts isnt easy

Hello Andy. The head gasket failed after the bottom hose expired. Skimming and appropriate gaskets are required, when I can afford it. It's not for sale, I'm afraid.

Alan / Andy!

24v S1 cars!!! FANTASTIC Another two of them..

Please post up details, I am trying to find ALL S1 24v's in the UK..

Amazing, two crop up just like that..

What parts do you need for your 24v's?? Let me guess ALL TOP end stuff?? My 24v thank god has had all the top end done in the past by Citroen so mines a gem now.. Ive got the old 24v lump in the shed with the buggered heads... Ill open it up one day.

That's pretty incredible to find another 2 of them crop up within days/hours of each other!
