Update: 1
Vehicle examiner came on Friday to have a look, he say's "it's nothing that isn't repairable, depending upon the cost" which at least gives me some hope
a throughly nice chap who has known Dave Ashworth (
) a number of years, we had a chat about CX's, XM's and SM's.
The trouble is that I've seen a 3.0 HDi for sale (Blue and Cream, Exclusive) and I'm now really in a quandry

I agree, for me, it's the best colour combination, it's the one I wanted originally.
TBH I'd be happy if they repaired mine, there is nothing wrong with it, and it's such a cracking drivers car (nothing like the 'Ultimate Driving Machine' they have given me) and read into that what you will..........

Pity you weren't given a 525D, the ones made from around 2008 onwards go very well indeed.

I've uplifted this from C6 owners:xantia_v6 wrote:Or take the money and the car, sell it to someone here as-is, buy the 3litreKP wrote:Take the money and the car, fix it, sell it, add cash to pot to buy the 3litre
Steve, I wouldn't get too excited about the 3.0HDi that was for sale at Howrds of Weston Super Mare.
Apparently, it was sold by 9.30am on Monday 26th.
I saw it advertised on Sunday & tipped off another forum member who is looking for a C6, he called to find out that it had already been sold to an existing C6 owner.
And the advert is still live on the web.
I think it was under priced by about £3000. Surely there should be a price premium for the 3.0HDi over the 2.7?




On subject of the UDM it does have run flat tyres, but even standing still you need to 'really' push down to get the suspension to move, I had an 02 plate 'facelifted' Xsara that was a better ride quality that this...............
