Greetings.
Just taken the plunge with a 1996 XM Diesel Estate.
Plenty of engineering and spannering experience with other cars but this is first French one.
Appreciate any advice here.
Cheers
XM Newbie

Re: XM Newbie
Welcome! You've come to the right place - there's more knowledge of XMs here than anywhere else.
Tell us what it is you've got - is it running, roadworthy? Or a project?

Its a 96 2.5 diesel. Around 120k miles.
A few electrical gremlins including rear wash/wiper, rear window operation from front switch, missing exhaust centre box, external trim fit and finish. But overall running well.
