New Member, 2.5TD VSX Estate
Hello everyone - I've just bought a dark blue XM Estate... I've always kind of wanted one - when I ended up buying a Xantia turbo-diesel estate back in 2001 it was an XM that I really wanted. But the Xantia gave me years of faithful reliable service until it was stolen in 2008.
I'm hoping the XM can turn out to be a reliable long-distance tourer in a similar but even better way - I think they're magnificent machines. But, alas, I'm already having problems. I've started a thread on the free-for-all bit about that.
Anyway, I'll catch you soon.
Cheers,
Drew

Alas, it's more that I've only had two hours sleep between getting back to my girlfriend's flat in the breakdown truck and getting in a cab at four this morning to get to work at five... and most of the time been worrying that I've seriously broken my new car that I was enjoying so much
The thread's there now... viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2713

Here's the eBay ad for the car I've bought, by the way - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWNX:IT
Once I've sorted the immediate coolant/overheating problems, is a non-functioning sunroof something that might be fixable by a novice tinkerer without a great deal of mechanical experience?

I remember the advert and question about coolant loss.
