Citroen XM Forum

I could not be happier that you took on my old XM Jim. I do miss it for many reasons but hopefully once you get over through the problem areas it will be a fantastic car.

I just hope it is not too much for you, as I have said on the FCF, at least there is no real rush to get things done with it.

I've not quite recovered from Saturday just yet but fact is I must accept that what I can do on cars is very limited indeed for a while yet and I must both accept that and come to terms with it; not easy.

Huge thanks to all who have offered to spend some time on the XM, very highly appreciated!

This is what needs to be done as far as I know:

Speedo cable
ABS block
Exhaust leak, fit cat and oxygen sensor
Gearbox fluid change
Rear bumper mounts
LHM change
Cambelt change
MOT test

That's all but none of those jobs can I risk even trying to do.

I thought I could. It is a huge disappointment and a massive blow that I find I can't and mustn't even try to now

Any offers of help greatly appreciated

I may need help on the Xantias in the future but touch wood, both are just about perfect at the moment although getting very little use.

I wish I was a bit closer to you Jim as I would be delighted to help out with jobs on your XM. Anyway take it easy and I hope that other assistance is at hand! Best regards, Matthew T.

Thanks Matthew

A days job for me Jim.!! no problem.. .. you know i would do anything for you.. working on Xm s is not an issue for me.

you only need to shout...!.

I'm sorry to hear that Jim. As Paul and Matthew have already said.... I hope you get some assistance to keep the 'ol gal going!

My assistance is already and ALWAYS waiting!!!

It is about time we all rallied round and helped you out Jim, we have all had your help at one time or another. Not least you fixing my Activas leaky rear ram

Well, you know you'll be most welcome Chris and by all means! Same offer open to you as I've made to Paul above....

It just seems you're a heck of a long way away but having said that, back when I was fully OK I used to do that kind of distance without a second thought. A couple of times I went up well beyond your place to help out, once an engine transplant in a 306 over the weekend. That was when my 2.1TD passed 100,000 miles as I passed the Angel of the North.

Gosh, those were the days. makes me rather sad it's all at and end Hopefully not for ever and who knows, given enough recovery time those days may not be over.
