Citroen XM Forum

Just go back to the Citroenesque account as that has most posts associated with it.

Well, if someone administrative would care to change the name on here that'd be perfect!

Hi all, because my prospective XM acquisition is an SX I note from the specifications a rear sunblind isn't standard. So, if anyone has a spare rear parcel shelf (they were all black weren't they?) with an integral blind I'd be interested. I'd need to work out how to hook it up but that's not a major issue. I can't remember if they were plastic clips at the edge of the roof - my memory's obviously going !)

The plastic panel has recesses in for the hooks to engage into on cars fitted with blinds.

Still eagerly anticipating the acquisition; likely to be late Jan early Feb... But I'm already planning what to do, based upon the information I have. As I have mentioned, I would really like to obtain a replacement clutch cable as I know they're rare and certainly as I'm planning a trip abroad in it, I'd want to carry a spare RHD one.

But the other thing is, there's usually a Rally in the Spring at Burghley House (so I would want to be there in the XM) and I wondered if anyone would be there who could plug the car into a Lexia. Alternatively I don't know if they have one at Chevronics - if so I could arrange to have the car diagnosed on the day I pick it up - if not before.

Further thoughts bring me to the rear bumper which I know has broken trim. I don't know if anyone has some (no matter how crudy) that was complete that I could restore with paint. Rob M's selling trim at £80 or so; a little pricey (as it represents nearly a quarter of what I'm paying for the car lol!)...

If the X Rally is on this year then I'll be there with my Lexia and ELIT Phi or alternatively, you know where I live...

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing you soon Don't know if I'll get over to Newport P sooner, but you never know.

Where abouts are you, Phil.

I have a trim on my Cobalt car that is almost certain to get changed for a good one. It's a bit delaminated and has a small amount of damage where it has been hit, but is generally sound.

Hi there, thanks for the offer. I'm in Essex - Chelmsford to be precise... But the car is currently in Hitchin (where Chevronics are based too) and will be going there in a months time or so to collect it. Dunno where you are based?

I'm in the east Midlands. Shame really, I called and collected two bumper strips from Cheryl..(Grrr) recently...
