Hi Andrew
I have done one on the black hatch, or at least I changed the thrust bearing, would only have required the removal of another six bolts to change the whole thing - but it wasn't worn!
About second to a head gasket I would say, took me about a week doing a couple of hours a day. What's the rest of the car like and how many miles?
And - where you?

That a 2.5 is it?andmcit wrote:Peter.N.
Still looking!?
Do you fancy a "low miles" (140odd k) green s2 auto VSX estate that needs a clutch?
NO legals but nice solid car though I've no idea what it's worth!
Note: attached trailer and towcar not included!

Must be another 2.1 manaul estate, comman as muck these things! 
You dont see one and then they all come at once.
Looks very tidy Andrew, where did you get that from? Is it a new purchase?
Hmmm ... Mudflaps .... need to find some of those, looks much better

It's a 2.1 manual with 140k miles and it drove fine when I got it off ebay
= one everyone missed!!
Not now though with a goosed clutch - but how that happened is another
story...
I'm not sure what I'm doing with it and have only had it a few weeks
- one of the last journeys KYAC (the towcar) made. Rides superbly and
just has a stuck sunroof and a bit of crustiness on the driver's side rear
flitch panel before the wheelarch but for a s2 estate the body is very
solid - prefer my pewter grey/platinum s1 manual 2.1 if I had to use
one at all - may keep the s2 and fix it but had a bit of a rethink on the
fleet and some things will need to be moved on.

Dont you means its very solid for a S2 car Andrew ...
Ok, what did you do with the cutch? maybe you need an auto! 
I didnt know you had any estates Andrew, thats new to me. Looks tidy though, 140K is quite low for a diesel estate, average mileage for a Nreg car in fact.

I reckon that towbar might have had something to do with it...citroenmad wrote:

At the moment (or at least in this thread! ) assume I mean the exact opposite of anything I say! 
Yes, the s1 is mint!! And though it has a 'working' clutch the previous guy reckoned it slipped but I never
got it to towing or driving up very steep hills (I'm in Wales don't forget!) so I guess there's a crank seal
leaking oil onto the clutch intermittently dependent on usage?
I think an auto would've been totally mullared too! The towbar may have contributed to problems yes! 
I much prefer the Cx estates and have quite a few of them - best estate/towcar ever!

An Xm 2.5 estate could be a very handy machine but they're all parked in Salisbury aren't they?
