Citroen XM Forum

It has been reported to insurance and put a claim in. They have been messing around for the last month making rubbish offers and not even bother picking up the phone to get admission of liability from the other side telling me it makes no difference.
I took the car back from the garage that took it away as they did nothing to it and quoted a ridiculous £2800 for the repair. Took it to a local garage for an estimate and was quoted 900 excluding the cost of the parts. I have been forced to accept their offer otherwise they told me they will take the car away again if I refuse. I was told i'd get an interim offer if they decide I should be paid more money.
Wish I didn't even bother reporting it to insurance due to all the bullshit from their staff and not really getting anywhere with it.
They have refused to repair the car so I am going to try to repair it myself if I can find the parts.

Thanks John. I'll have a look on the other forum, if I can find the parts in the correct colour it will save me a lot of hassle.

Also worth trying Malcolm at Savoy.
In his web pages - cars for sale - there is an item listed for a silver mk2 estate rear bumper.
If you expand the detail on that item it also offers a black front bumper skin and a black nose cone.

I know of two S2 XM being broken...make that 3 as Lankytim on here has one too.

see my ad for for wings, front and rear bumpers and nose cone plus hatch - free to whoever collects. You can't choose, you have to take it all.

Go for it!

mark 1 but some parts are interchangeable just got to find out what parts are the same

All but the bumper and that will actually fit, just not be right.

I'm collecting one of those black xm,s for breaking in a couple of Weeks, also stripping the other for spares at the same time

Thanks for offering tim but the cars already gone.

It's probably the one he's collecting.
