A milestone passed today...

Makes mine (approaching 150k in a few weeks) look barely run in!

Good effort Paul

That's delivery mileage for an HDi

I seriously think the body will go on mine before the engine and the body isnt in bad nick!

Amazingly on mine too ive not got the rust issue that they normally suffer from either.

The thing i still like is even the turbo is still quiet and not making any more then useual noises...

[citroenxm]

Bought her from a fellow member with a buggered bottom pully and leakey water pump at 159k..

Did the cam belt water pump and bottom pully and that was it...four years this novemeber..

[KP]

My record from a HDi is 273k

There is an XUD 405 estate turbo that was last seen to have 460k on its clock!

Well theres a challenge or at least a goal..

[LeWaftBarge]

I'm feeling confident at 87k then. :

What's the cambelt change interval, and what else is changed with it?

[red_dwarfers]

Excellent Paul!

My 2.1 XM is on around 205k at the moment. It will take a few years to get up to 250k, only gets used 6 months a year and only really drive it on the weekends. lol I sound like it's my mid life crisis car which I'm using on my 50k/year job! Far from both in reality though!

[RichardW]

What's the cambelt change interval, and what else is changed with it?

10 years or 100k. Change the water pump at same time, and probably the tensioners as well - although mine were fine at 110k, I had a kit so changed them anyway. Inspect the crank pulley whilst it's off, and renew if starting to fall apart. Probably due a new aux belt as well whilst it's off. If it's a Xantia 110 then inspect the bush in the inner wing torque link whilst it's off, and renew if that is falling apart.

No one to hit...!

Only sheep

Seriously Paul, good effort!

Mike, get an XM - you'll have plenty to talk about then

I'd end up tearing my hair out with another XM. I'd like a V6 Xantia again as long as it steered right.

For now a nice TD would be pleasant enough. I did have fun in the MX5 on my way home at 6.30am today. Roof down, sun out. I said I'd not have another Xantia but I really do miss the old beasts.

Mine's only a baby at 194k . . . but runs as sweet as a nut.

[RichardW]

Mine passed 147k this morning - it had 47k on it when I bought it, so that's 100k up in my hands. Engine fine, body starting to suffer, so I suspect the tin worm will get it long before the engine is toast!!

[taffy]

[taffy]

Got a nice Silver one here for you Mike, steers and rides beautifully, only 105k. Might need some minor engine and gearbox work though...
