1/ why oh why 99% of XMs in the UK are automatic!!!!!!!! grrrrrrrrrr
2/ why *that* many XMs (for a modern car) get a rear hatch that doesn't align properly to the rest of the car -
1/ Because the auto was the same list price, that's why I chose one new.
2/ The fit was perfect on all panels from new, Citroen were very proud of their robotised production line with all panels fitted by computer controlled robots and aligned by laser.
I suspect htey just need adjusting.

Dieselman I agree with you !
I think that its quite possible that the seller may have just left the the hatchback down lightly touch-closed whilst the 'Autumnal' photo's were taken (They could have just taken a coat out of the boot to keep warm) and didn't fully shut/close the hatch, therefore causing it showing a slightly proud position for that reason only
And probably did realize that it was going to get picked up by the anoraks types on this Forum

So Andrew I'm not in such a minority in this part of the wood as, my friend lives just two miles down the road and brother is just two miles up the road and hes has a 2.5 TD and my friends old 2.1 TD which is also a manual, plus my two makes five manual XM's within a radius of four miles
So with Peter N, that's really at least SIX now

Such a nice colour, same colour as my first S1 XM, 2.1SD, think it was called Champagne in the brochure, (which, by the way was a manual, same as is my current Green 2.1TD VSX, so thats 2 more to the count )
Previous XM- 1990 H 2.1TD SD
Current XM- 1997 P 2.1TD VSX
) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.
