Another V6 XM on the driveway

Post by David Hallworth » Sun Oct 26, 2014 6:57 pm

Well not much has happened this summer really. The XM had an outing to Shifnal when we were visiting the XM gathering at RAF Cosford. The Activa is still running like a dream with it's V6 under the bonnet.

Two weeks ago I added another French V6 to my collection. I rehomed an XM from a fellow owner in Crail. The car has a hydraulic leak from somewhere at the front, I think it's the electrovalve after speaking to Paul this evening. The suspension is very hard on it, but the engine and gearbox run perfectly.

This car has an interesting history, the previous owner on the logbook was Robert from BL Auto's, and the owner before him was Shaun. :)

Anyway, I've not touched the car since getting it home two weeks ago as I've been working in Aberdeen for the last 10 days. I took it out for a quick run today and grabbed some snaps...

Other then needing a damn good clean and the LHM leak sorting out the car runs very well. At 176k it's covered a big mileage, but the service history with it is huge. It's also got a stainless steel exhaust fitted from the cat back. For less then the cost of two tanks of petrol in the XM, it was a cheap car.

That's a very nice looking V6 David. You don't seem to see many in that colour.

Love the colour too, changes from the "usual" silver in those late V6s. I wonder if that's the same colour code as the xm "multimedia" edition they run towards the end of production?

The Multimedia had a slightly lighter, more 'orangey' hue to it.
