Good stuff Chris

[Chris570]

Well the car is now no longer with me.


























It's at a garage having the welding done before it goes in for it's MOT

[Deanxm]

.................what welding be that?

[red_dwarfers]

You had me going for a minute there! (Dont laugh, it took me a while to scroll down)

I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome of the MOT!

.................what welding be that?

Hopefully just a small patch on the o/s sill, there is a tiny hole where the car was recovered many moons ago and the ridge got bent and so on.

They will be looking at it tomorrow morning and letting me know what the damage is, literally. I've also got them to do a service on the aircon and the tracking (as it's a long way out) other than that the car drives very nicely indeed. She is in need of new spheres badly though but even with that she sill rides nearly as well as the HDi.

Still don't know exactly how extensive the welding is, i'll know on wednesday now. I don't want them rushing it, has to be a 100% perfect job.

Trying to sort it all out in time for CXM

Ok... 330 days later...... we have a valid MOT and we are taxed and i'm been driving her.

I forgot to tell Jim before i arrived at his this morning and gave him a lovely surprise

Congratulations Chris you made it Seems like quite a steep hill of work youve had to do to get it MOT worthy....Good stuff

I forgot to tell Jim before i arrived at his this morning and gave him a lovely surprise

It certainly was One of the very best. My smile went from ear to ear...

I drove it too. It's sweeeeeeeeet

If anyone needs to be convinced of what the charm of an XM is all about just drive an S2 V6.

I drove my V6 Xantia straight after. Compared to an XM it feels like a micro-car

[Citroenmad]

Thats great news Chris, its certainly tested you but you have got there in the end. Looking forward to seeing it at CXM

[Chris570]

Well i've given her a good clean and fixed a few bits that were annoying (air in the brakes and duff climate control) I'm amazed at just how good of a car it is and a very good cruiser. We've come a long long way and we've not got far to go before the car has everything electrical functioning(as citroen intended). Those items are cruise control and aircon needs re-filling. Then LPG...

All in all a fantastic car and one i'm so glad to have stuck with.
