Cheers Vince!
I knew I should have asked on here first or I wouldn't have paid £30 odd for my training book. Still, this one does dedicate one page per type with a longer description
The XM is going fairly well, even had someone have a good nose while overtaking on the a30 yesterday
Unless I was being an idiot driver
Last night after me and a few mates had a picnic on the moor, the XM played host to a few games of draughts. The rear arm rest is a good place for the board!
A few issues on the XM that need sorting. Fuel is still running back to the tank but not as bad now since I dismantled and cleaned up the priming bulb. I'm going to replace the fuel filter and leak off pipes next. Something to note though is that the XM 2.1 fuel pipe is larger than the 1.9 in the Xantia meaning that unless the end plugs of the priming bulb are replaced they aren't interchangeable.
Drivers electric window has stopped working, when winding it up yesterday there was a slight clunk and the glass stopped moving but the sound continued. At the moment I think it's the plastic that fixes the glass to the winder mechanism, I think I have a spare couple of winder mechanisms in the garage I can swap bits from.
There's a leak from the sunroof/aerial in heavy rain. I'm going to seal up the aerial plug to rule that out and go from there. If the worse comes to the worse I have a spare dry sunroof in the garage.
I've cleaned up the contoured mud flaps I picked up, they're in usable condition but a little rough around the edges. They did require a lot of persuasion to come off the scrapper. The clamps look like something that Time Team would find interesting so I'll have to make up some new ones. I'm debating whether to put them on to be honest as it would create a bit of a mud trap in the front wheel arch and it might damage the paintwork/galvanise. It would also make that area more difficult to keep the mud from building up. I might just put the rear ones on as there's no such worry there with it all being plastic.
My '97 model year Xantia wiring diagrams arrived in the post this morning. It's quite some thickness! In much better nick that my XM dealer manuals in which about a quarter of them have been in water at some stage.
On another note, my non working XM RCL boxes and keys are up to a grand total of 3. I have one which does work but it's the smaller one which has a different sized connector so I need to make up some sort of adapter.
I still have the Xantia but it's off the road and tucked up in the garage at the moment. The XM really needs a wash but once I get around to that I shall have to get some taken!
