Envy! - I had my eye on this but moved too slow. '"Snooze, & you lose" as the saying goes! Good luck.

Luckily, I have absolutely brilliant neighbours who tolerate me very well

The temptation to get a second XM is very strong I have to admit

I'm waiting for John to give me permission to own a 2.5 Robert. I doubt I've served a long enough apprenticeship yetrobert_e_smart wrote:Go on Jim! Get a 2.5 TD to smoke about in daily! You will love it!

Sadly Andrew, my health just doesn't allow me to attempt such a big task, as much as I'd like. My absolute limit is sorting out ABS at present and that's left me a bit the worse for wear today...andmcit wrote:Well Jim, I do still have vague plans to move on that 12v v6 SEi auto in greenCitroJim wrote:The temptation to get a second XM is very strong I have to admit

Now, if I was fully fighting fit it might well be a totally different matter..

Re: An XM is now mine!
I realise that Jim.
I do know that feeling of frustration and of feeling mentally tired after
grinding to a halt today trying to fix the broken gearchange cable on my 2.5.
It's not nice being completely stumpted and not sure of a way forwards.
But tomorrow is another day and I've had time to mull...

He'll probably grant you as time served once you've been sent for a "long weight" and a "bucket of steam".
