It starts with a cx 2.5 diesel familiale 1985 model,and after that a 1986 familiale 2,5diesel. And after the cx its been My first Xm. A 1993 model 2.1td.for a couple year. Then two xantia break 2.0 hdi,two C5. 2.0 hdi. And now a 2010 serie 111 c5 2.0 hdi manuell 6 gear.

Well now a find a great Xm 2.1td automatic gear,with only one Owner and 17600 swedish mile on the spedometer(one swedish mile is 10 kilometer) now i just change the five gasklocks,brakes and other things. Oil in the gearbox is changes six times! Now its red and fine,and she gears very fine.

Welcome to the forum Lennart. Interesting Citroen history. Always good to hear what others have driven in the past.
A 2.1 with 17.600 on the clock? WOW! Do post up some pics of it.
I have a 1992 2.1 Auto SED. It's got 173.000 on the clock, so a bit more than yours!

Russ, I think you missed the 'swedish mile to km' conversion which Lennart is using

But was there ever a Swedish Mile speedo/odometer ?
Sounds like a secondhand car dealers delight!
Warm welcome to you, Lennart.

Oh yeah! Duh!
interesting term of measurement though. Swedish mile... Never heard of it.

Hi Lennart

Welcome to the forum. I also have been running hydropnumatic Citroens since the '80s. Two CX25DTR Safari's then CX25DTR Turbo Safari which I ran for 7 years and about 165k miles, followed by 6 or 7 XM 2.1. manual estates which I ran for about 15 years until they started falling to pieces. My last was a C5 which I wasn't very impressed with. I'm running 406 estates now - but I haven't been thrown out of the club yet.
