I thought that about the CD although it does appear in both the handbook and the audio supplement.

That is the case even when the CD changer is not fitted.

Arty photo alert!

Took the XM on an excursion to Whitstable and Margate today, didn't miss a beat! On the way we saw a DS (in an unfortunate brown colour) in Rye. If I had to make a criticism, I would say the suspension pitches slightly front to back on rolling A roads. I've never been in another XM so unsure if this is normal or not.
When I was nearly home, I noticed that the cruise control button warning light was no longer slightly lit up, so tried it and it works! Shame I was about a mile from home and didn't try it earlier in the journey. The switch itself didn't light up though.

I don't think it is normal, I notice body roll on cornering more than in a hydroactive Xantia, but not pitching.

Check the markings on the spheres (particularly the corner spheres), as someone may have fitted comfort spheres or non hydroactive spheres.

I suppose the sphere damper holes might have been drilled out, which would not be externally visible.

There should be no pitching front-to-back, nor dive when braking or squat when flooring it. Good advice above.

If I go to the X Rally, someone can try it & let me know if it's how it should be. It doesn't roll much in corners or dive when braking or squat under acceleration. Good about the cruise though!

There should be a few of us XMers there. Me included. Ive booked the weekend off from work..

The one thing that doesn't work & is really annoying is the remote on the central locking. It all locks & unlocks from the key fine. The key remote LED comes on. I tried changing the batteries, I tried syncing (ignition on, press button for one second, found on XM forum, is this right?). Where do I go from here?

Another quick question
Is this really how the rear seats fold? I can't see how the seat base pulls up so is this it?

The base pulls up first.. over the centre is a strap.. pull it up hard and the base will come upwards....


there should be a leather strap over the centre base anyway....
