New V6 XM owner
Posted: Sun Sep 08, 2019 1:11 pm
Hi I'm Peter, username pkimpton330 (part of my gmail address).
I bought my LH drive V6 XM just after Christmas 2018. It hadn't been driven for some time as far as I could make out. Soon after I started driving it it was leaving puddles of LHM and engine oil on the garage floor. Oil seals going everywhere on the distributor, and elsewhere and hydraulic seals leaking LHM. Chevronics have been extremely good at sorting the problems and making the car roadworthy and driveable without roadside dramas. It also has an incorrect sphere fitted on the front suspension. It now rides beautifully and the V6 is lovely and smooth with a lot of grunt. Thanks to Matthew who helped me with the water pump which was leaking.
The car was most of ts life in Spain, some of which as a taxi. The absence of road salt out there has left the under neath looking factory new.
I've just now got to sort out an intermittent speedo and occasional ABS failure - whiah appears and then clears down without faults. Both I suspect are electrical connector problems.
