Ah, oh well, gives you plenty of time to finish them off before the next one appears!

Little question, what mpg would the LPG V6 get then?

[citroenxm]

I miss Her SOOOOOO much! She has the single point LPG mixer on it, and with that setup I was getting an equivilent 40mpg about 5 years ago! I did 40k in her! However the high MPG was achived by having a weaker mix, and she was not particually quick.. just a nice noise!

You know. Ill restore her and want to keep her and use again.. It was TOP STUFF!

[russ92xmsed]

That is amazing. That's diesel MPG. And you'll be spending less at the pumps too...in a V6 auto. I want one!!!!

[citroenxm]

I know Russ... Get saving you can have this one when Im finished...

I even had everything (except the ABS) working... Upgraded the Air Con from r12 to R134a from a Series 2 XM.. Cruise, windows, so on and so on...

Ill get her back to that again when I make a start..

[russ92xmsed]

Tell you what it is very tempting. What colour is it?

[citroenxm]

Useual Citroen Dark Green.. When she is finally finished, there will be more of her seen...

Or, if you cant wait, have a look Here to get an idea.

I of course am or have obtained the front panels to sort the pain peel...

Thats bonnet, wings, and nose cone.. I hae a 65k mile engine AND auto box to go in...

[russ92xmsed]

Wow, got your work cut out, I see the dreaded tin worm has been at it again. It still shocks me seeing rot like that on an XM.
But well worth doing. It needs a Vince when it's done!!!

[citroenxm]

That welding has been done there russ thank god.. its other stuff that needs dooing..mechanical and interior...

[russ92xmsed]

Well done!! Can't let that progress.

Is it having or had new strut tops? Lucky you have the newer drive train to go in it too.
I know this is controversial, and it probably strictly speaking shouldn't have them, but I would like to have a nice set of Itaila alloys on it.

Hope you get round to soon. Can't let it sit round forever!!!!

Paul, if you like I have a new in the box BLOS lpg mixer; this is a device which works a little like an SU carb and provides mixture control without electronics to a single point LPG conversion. It typically results in more power, better economy and even smoother running on gas...
