It'll be interesting to see what the RP is Jim - our Prestige is 5694 which is 11 June 1992, and Dean's is 26 May 1992 so very close!

You need to stop this, you've all made me want another XM, which is neither sane or helpful. Gits.

Sorry Mike

Fact is, they draw you and there's no escape. Like a moth to a flame. I blame Paul (CitroenXM), Will (DieselMan), David Hallworth and Chris (570) in equal measure for this

Without their combined influence I'd still likely be an exclusive Xantia owner...

I first saw the Spaceship at DSM this year and I was immediately hooked. I tried to resist. Honest

Ha you wait, it does NOT stop at one car, it goes to two, three, four and sometimes FIVE!

Ive FIVE, plus a visiting one awaiting repair... and my mate landlord who has an SED also has a second spare 2.1 TD auto...

Im proud my influence rubbed off, and you got the BEST eira of XM too Jim, mainly that she has bolted earth points, so no earthing issues there, and the hydractive 2 that should and useuall on S1.5 cars Always works... the LH Displays do not pack up though the RH displays liquid does go...

Thanks for that. It's made me feel so much better.

Sell me one!

I loved my first one, I was so annoyed when the headgasket went. It had to go, as I needed transport immediately. The second one was ultra reliable, but a shed. The third one, I still can't remember why I sold it, as it was very good. I suspect my missus might have had trouble parking it - I got a Xantia 1.8 Petrol instead of it.

...and then six, eight, ten...before you know it there's over a dozen! Then twenty...

Not helping am I...

2. H 1990 V6 24v Manual. Mine and no one else's
3. H 1991 SED 2.1 Manual. Needs rear chassis welding cimmilar to 24v and an MOT, also MINE and no one else's
4. J 1991 D 2.1 Manual. Needs a bit dooing, strut tops, spheres, front tyres, rear nearside door, starts and runs nicely! Dont know what to do with her!
5. K 1992 SD 2.1 Manual. Grey. Needs couple small things for MOT. Exhaust for one. Still need to collect. Starts and runs.

Does anyone recognise ebay item number 270842309602?

Obviously, if it's MOT ran out, it's worth about 1/3 of what the asking price is...

Been on eBay for absolute yonks Mike...

Im pleased your XM has been christened Spaceship Jim, its very fitting

It'll be interesting to see what the RP is Jim - our Prestige is 5694 which is 11 June 1992, and Dean's is 26 May 1992 so very close!

Jims Prestige is of a much later model, it is in 24v spec and trim rather than the earlier Prestige which had non colour coded bumper strips and the woobly web wheels instead of the 24v 'Speedlines'.

Its a 1994 registered car and in the late spec too, my guess it its RP is somewhere in 1993, though I dont ever remember checking it.

Here is Jims Prestige looking very smart!

They should put an MOT on it for that!! I certainly would!

Well, I was going to drop them an email and offer them scrap value, which is essentially what it's worth without one

The bodys on SEi trim cars went colour coded in around 1993, My K reg SEi V6 is all colour coded and they do look better too.

My M reg Onyx was NOT colour coded, being an Si based trim. So L reg, Jims is either a 1993 or 94...
