    Citroens with hydrogas suspension are beautiful cars and not that hard to fix, I had a Xantia which I drove from Spain to the South of Russia and back twice, also has a GS which was great too. I miss my Xantia a lot...

      Living in eastern Europe I see many cars imported from the west. They are often in better condition than cars which are already here. Repair and reuse is better for both the users and the environment than the scandal of serviceable vehicles being prematurely 'recycled'.

    I had a Citroën XM, and I miss it! I think it was the car I have liked the most. It had allsorts of faults ,but still I loved it, and now I miss it.
    I now have a Volvo in good quality, 4wd and everything. But the Citroën had something extra. We can call it charm. And the comfort was much better.
    The XM was wonderful. The strange thing, my 1991 XM was a lot more modern and technically advanced compared to what my 2009 Volvo XC60 is.
    Have you heard of Radio XM? You could tune in to Radio XM and diagnose your car while driving. It would give feedback, thru the radio, and you could hear if something was not working as it should. That was cool! Really spectacular, actually.
    My Volvo is like a farmer's old tractor, in comparison to the XM. Even though it is almost 30 years newer.
    I don't believe Citroën makes spectacular cars anymore, which is a shame.

    Just recently bought myself a '99 XM in mint condition. These are marvellous cars and the last REAL Citroens. And prices are rising, since DS and CX become unaffordable these days.
    One little remark on your XM: It's got an automatic transmission and you should have changed the transmission oil. It's an easy job and the 4HP18 is notorious for failing when the oil is not changed regularly. It happened on my previous XM I owned years ago.
    Other than that, I do like your channel !
