Just spotted this one on eBay - here.
Welcome to the auction for my much loved Citroen XM.
Citroen XM VSX 2.0 turbo auto 1998 (R)
Bought from Citroen specialist Wolsey House Motors in June 2009
Lovely to drive with a very comfortable ride, as you would expect.
7 stamps in the service book up to 65k miles and receipts for servicing and other jobs done since, including transmission fluid and coolant change.
ABS system in full working order with no warning lights.
Engine uses no oil or water, gearbox very smooth and responsive.
Spheres all good and pipework underneath in very good condition.
Premium VSX spec with electric glass sunroof, electric front seats, central locking and electric windows. Remote key fob works (and even the immobiliser keyboard flap is OK!!)
Full set of four Goodyear NCT 5 tyres with lots of tread left.
Bad points:
Car park scuff on edge of front bumper and plastic surround above it has a small crack, nearside electric windows not working
A couple of stone chips on the bonnet.
Exhaust blowing slightly (does not affect the way it drives)

Big time, an e-bay auction is the wrong way to sell a car like this. Those other 2 turbos sold for £320 odd. Granted one was really rough, and the other tired compared to this. But I can't see it doing as well as Phil's TCT did.

He says the exhaust is blowing, now is it the typical TCT exhaust manfold cracks/gasket?
