I've been using my 1994 xm since 2011. No issues with auto box as of yet.

I guess your car was a good 'un from the start. My one was on the cusp of being a 'parts car' when I bought it off fleabay two years ago. Previous owner had towed a medium sized caravan with it but gave up as it was 'underpowered' and parked it up - not surprising considering the XM auto in basic spec still weighs over 1650 kilograms with only 109 bhp and a slushbox really doesn't make an ideal towing vehicle. I should have just walked away and waited for a good one.
Going to see if the Haynes museum wants it as they don't have an XM.

Wow what a line-up, I found it quite close to home as I've always said if I couldn't have XMs I wouldn't mind a nice Lexus LS 400 or Jag XJ... or a Volvo S80, or a Ford Granada, or a a a a a..... 7 Series
