New XM owner in Oregon USA
Posted: Fri Sep 27, 2019 11:31 pm
Good afternoon,
Just a quick introduction, my name is Mike and I'm a geologist living near Portland Oregon, USA. I consider myself a "recreational mechanic" as I restore vehicles as a hobby. I've owned a few Citroen vehicles over the years (Traction, DS, CX) but am new to the XM. I have experience working on Volvo, Renault, Ferrari, Citroen (and Toyota but who cares about those!). I recently (today) purchased a 1991 XM automatic with 12V PRV V6. The car has not run for years, cranks over and almost runs with starting fluid according to the seller. I have the immob code. I'll try all the normal stuff (fluids/filters/grounds ('earths')) but may eventually seek out advice from you fine folks. I'll post up some pictures when I receive the car. I'm planning to source parts from 'Garage80' as they ship to the USA. It is a CXA car (one of maybe 28 imported to the US), black over black leather, with about 80K miles on the clock. Anyway, thanks for the excellent info found on this forum!
