    well 400 miles covered today furthest I’ve ever driven this car, absolutely no issues at all which is pleasing! All 7 spheres now replaced both centre spheres were full of oil, no gas at all corner spheres were between 0 and 10 PSI accumulator was about dead too suffice to say, 7 brand new spheres have completely transformed the car, it actually has suspension now, stays up for longer and just feels fantastic it has float!

    No real update, could use a new battery right fuelling issue it primes up and then starts fine, only the first start of the day causes issues really and I’d definitely say air is getting into the fuel system somewhere I have noticed the hand primer is new, now I had issues with my last XM when I piped it incorrectly does this look alright to you lot? absolutely no running issues once it’s going anyway driving it down to Westroen tomorrow for 7 new spheres, really looking forward to it! longest journey I’ll have done in the car by an absolute mile
  3. I built some in cupboard shelves completely out of scrap bits we had around the house im quite pleased with the results too

    fixed the boost guage today, was quite simple really intercooler pipe beside the batery had become slightly detached, just enough to cause issues also should explain the oil leak i seem to be having at the minute, hopefully it should be all sorted now as i can't see anything leaking on the acgtual engine and some oil had come out of the degtached pipe also happened to note it seemed to have just popped off, so loosened the clamp, wedged it in good and proper and tightened it up all seems fine, it is vastly quicker and sounds a lot healthier now too! can actually hear the turbo doing it's job so yes, pleased that one proved to be an easy fix otherwise all is going well stil, and really enjoying the car!
  5. I have a feeling it was the E30 (if I believe) that went through a red light and was struck by the range rover

  7. regarding couriers etc and posting goods so long as it's not huge and after a huge faff i still feel bad about with a PC i send with Evri last year i use the Post office/Royal Mail not the cheapest but not had a single issue so far and easy enough to walk down to the post office
  8. this was incredibly sad to see went down to Middlesbrough to go to toby carvery with my grandparents came upon this, literally moments after it happened lovely E reg 3 series E114 KUP if i recall, seen it a fair few times before literally they were getting out of the cars as i approached i'd sadly say it's dead

    Yes I’d say so including the little door to access the tyre valves

    an absolutely peach of a car! 690 miles to the last tank of diesel, very pleased with that needs a good wash to get all the salt etc off but it’s been fantastic so far

    Almost 2.5 months into ownership i believe this is the most boring XM thread ever nothing to really report, boost gauge isn't working correctly passenger side electric window needs some lubricant I suppose the main thing to keep an eye on I suspect is the battery, it cranks slower than I'd like but has never failed to start, could be the starter motor but I can't see that being overly expensive and they're not hard to change on this engine doesn't like cold starts, it fires up quick enough but it misfires and smokes like a goodun for a bit, it will cut out unless you hold the throttle at 1,200 rpm spheres are quite flat, getting that done in the coming weeks, ride has been improved however by reducing the tyre pressures from 3.2 bar to the correct 2.2 for the front and 1.9 for the rear otherwise it's being a cracking car, had a lot of use this week but I've done 500 miles since I refuelled and I've still apparently got 1/4 tank left

    Yes they do, somehow managed to find it on a quick google search which surprised me

    Sorry this thread is being a lot more boring than expected but it's actually being a very reliable mode of transport

    The internal rear glass is absolutely superb!

    Not much to really report, it's functioning well as a method of transport had it serviced yesterday, comments were made on how excellent it is underneath, pipe work is like new etc will need a new exhaust back box oh and is pulling much more cleanly after the service, I presume due to a new fuel filter
