Its thirsty in all guises and mostly attached again to an auto box... i personally dont like the the tct engine i had in an s1 m reg xm i had.. but others like the

they are possibly the best all rounder for a beginner to the xm other then the 2.1 td Manual...

both engines the tct petrol and 2.1 td are scarse with manual box's...

I've been thinking recently of passing on my S1 24V LHD. Goes like stink and is a very good car, but my wife keeps telling me we've now got one too many XMs and I keep thinking of going back to a CX GTi Turbo. So guess it could be for sale if you're serious about getting one Captain Slow?

Cheers

I'm a bit wary of Scottish cars currently. I won a 405mi16 on eBay a few weeks ago, got it delivered to Southampton, and then found out it was a wreck underneath. The rot had killed it :(

Well, I didn't think I'd see you sell one of the 24v'ers Paul!?
Are you sure that's the way forward to clear space just to
save some of my old s1's!?

Xm rot is not a scotish thing... its an xm thing in general if not caught quickly enough quickly spreads..
