Got to the last stage of trying to remove engine but was stopped by the extremely rusty and rounded off exhaust flexible link bolts. It looks like a previous owner has had a go already. I think my XM is royally stuffed if I can't shift these bolts. Everything else is off the car and ready for the big lift. I would include photos but I'm not sure how to get them on the site. Several members have kindly suggested dropping all the mounts so the engine can be pulled forward. As I have removed hydraulic regulator and accumulator blocks, battery tray, LHM reservoir and drive shafts, I don't want to give up. I will try this last ditch attempt tomorrow and if this still doesn't work then there will be an XM going free to anyone with a trailer. I will let you all know how I get on. [xx(]
