Citroen XM Forum

Gosh another early V6 appears and I also look forward to seeing some photos!! It sounds like a matching pair with Mark and Jacquis' 'J' plater as recently seen at Wetherby (photo below). Regards, Matthew T.

Amazing! I'm about 20 miles/30 mins from Ely at March...

Are you Wicham or Soham side of Ely?

If it is indeed Memphis blue, that is a lovely colour.

A dark blue XM on an H should be Memphis! Regards, Matthew T.

I''m the Soham side of Ely. I'll do my best to post pics and full details tomorrow eve.

OK, I bought the car in 2005 as a non runner as she was using water. She was dry stored from 2005 - 2012 but has stood outside on hard standing since July last year, hence I need to move her on. Have done head gaskets, full gearbox drain/refill & filter. Also fitted new hydraulic pump, striped out air con and striped the compressor down to pulley only. Exhaust is straight through from the CAT (needs back box). Recon alternator fitted. Whilst I had the engine striped down I fitted new top engine mounts both sides.

Having looked over the bodywork today I can see the sills need attention at the jacking points and there is a low pressure leak from somewhere under the engine.
She hasn’t been on the road since 2005 so I don’t really “know” the car. I’ve only worked on the engine and that was in 2010. I’ve had to move her around my property regularly since last summer so she starts & drives fine.
Best thing is to come and have a good look; As with all these things you never know what you’re getting into until you get into it !

Ooooh... Memphis...

Sooo tempting....

It'll make a lovely project....

Also, forgot to mention, previous owner changed front struts immediately before I bought her.....

All most interesting Richard and good luck with the sale! Regards, Matthew T.
