How an XM Should be dismantled for spares....(Pg 4 onwards)

[CitroJim]

Excellent stuff Paul, I think you made the right decision there as spares are always needed.

Brilliant stuff on the rear window

Amazing what you can find under a boot carpet....radiator, alternator, head gasket!!!

[Dieselman]

I think you should do this one up to sell as a complete car...

[MTXM]

Bit late for that now I think Will!!! Regards, Matthew T.

[Dieselman]

Oh...

[citroenxm]

I think you should do this one up to sell as a complete car...

I assumed you were saying this because I rejected your request for the engine and box????

Too late, if you look back the off side rear quarter glass is out.. and today, managed another two and a half hours...






Interior nearside plastics removed, above





Outer dash paneling, steering colum shrouds, which are unbroken too, heater controls, but not the actual panel all off..

Lower under dash panels off too, centre console out, and again pleasently pleased to see the centre arm rest rear two fixing screw mounts are not broken either!

Yes, I, keeping the dash, and im also gonna remove the sunroof casette, it currently doesn't work, but thought it may be a good candidate to try and see what its like and why it doesn;t...

No disassemble number 5!
Cheesy movie reference!

Going great guns! Any treasures found Paul?

It's the reverse of the YouTube videos of the cars production line films!

[citroenxm]

ummm.. 30p under the passenger seat, and 10f coin under the centre console (I assume 10 francs)?

[russ92xmsed]

Ah, so it has been abroad then. It's lived a full and rich life!

30p means 30 penny sweets! Do they still do penny sweets?

[citroenxm]

Dunno about the "rich" bit, the car is a North Wales car, and lived up here!

[russ92xmsed]

Really, so local then. Can I be rude and say is that because of the rust issue do you think? Loads of damp weather ect. ...sorry for stereotyping Wales!
