You two have the perfect balance : great skills, good mates, not too too much unfunny comedy and a really watchable format. I still can't see how you make it pay, but keep up the great work.
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...
My father has XM 3.0 V6 24V at 1993, here in Brazil 🇧🇷...was a fabulous car in everthing, he was in doubt betwin Mercedes and BMW, só the most diferent was XM...
Was good enough for Rolls Royce and Mercedes Benz, I know they made the system for RR. I own a C5 and am very happy with it, but I do look after it. First time I've seen inside a cut-away sphere and as they say it's simple and clever, there's no springs on the car.
That's like 4000 francs, crazy. It's werth 10 times that. They need to do a Peugeot 605 V6 the same engine was used in an XM as well. The difference is the Peugeot was luxurious.
We have the whole of eastern europe coming to pick up cheap old cars and trail 2 to 3 back at a time. Literally truck loads of cars leaving for Poland & Lithuania with Croatia coming close behind.
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'.
@@robt2151 There is a fine line between repair and reuse and cars that should no longer be on the roads for security reasons. How come all the high end Audis, Mercedes, BMW's all end up in former Eastern Europe ?
12.55 asked if spheres are front or rear than later acts surprised when asked what about the other 5.....if asked if they are front or rear at 12.55 he must have known there is more than 2.....seems a bit..i dunno....
Good show but it's a little tiring listening to the old story of making a profit from these cars when everyone watching knows you are making your money from the sale of this TV show................We the viewer aren't that stupid!
And when you see the 25 people in the rolling text after the show that all need a salary, it makes it even more ridiculous ... Just call it what it is, entertainment...
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 !
Step toe and son of the csr trade. It's all fun, guys. Don't take this show seriously. It's TV programming and not a real business. Behind the cameras is a professional production team. It's not real, guys. No more than the old BBC Step toe and Son series was. Enhoy. Suspend belief. It's fun. No more than that.
RH driven XM in France ?! You gotta add transport costs to calculate your socalled laughing profits. It will dissipate completely :) This is a clown show
This show is everything that Wheeler Dealers isn’t! It’s great!
Have always loved that car, very refined french automobile. Well done fellers😊
TH-cam algorithm, thanks for this new car channel that I've found through you!
Gorgeous car, I love Citroen, they just do things differently !
They DID things differently. Those days are unfortunately gone.
You two have the perfect balance : great skills, good mates, not too too much unfunny comedy and a really watchable format. I still can't see how you make it pay, but keep up the great work.
Well, it''s on Discovery, so with TV money I guess
A clean XM for 600 euros is insane.
Two loveliest guys one could ever hope to meet !.

Só,here in Brazil,we have xantias with hidramatic suspensions run today,not só gorgeus like XM,but Citroen style
One wonders why the central suspension spheres weren't replaced, as that would give the XM the proper ride it deserves! :-)
because they are expensive
@@ALINUED at €50 each!? I find that rather cheap. Compare that with a damper...
It's always those damn plastic bits that get you every time. I've never seen those suspension cylinders before. Interesting. Love these videos!
Spheres are NOT hard to find! 🤣
At 35:12 I think I heard a Polish person, probably working at the garage who expressed his awe at the lifting body of this beast;)
I miss my '72 DS23

mm the good old citroen mx.... wonder what a mazda xm 5 is like
they sure flipped it tho 😎
The last real Citroën, the end of an era, the last days when buying a new car was still more exiciting than replacing your old fridge.
Vintage (80's and 90's 😅) french car's interior use to be soo cool !! 😊
Yes you deserve it, and the car does too. Cheers from France.
Just like the first episode of suf wiedersein pet when they broke down in gemany in a ford zepher I think🤣🤣🤣
You got yourselves a great deal. Those cars fetch far more, but woe betide if they go wrong ;-)
yes you deserved it, i had one for about 4 years never any trouble. great program
Love this car ❤
You have made a mistake in the miniature. It is not a Citroën MX but XM
That's like 4000 francs, crazy. It's werth 10 times that.
They need to do a Peugeot 605 V6 the same engine was used in an XM as well. The difference is the Peugeot was luxurious.
The XM 3.0 24V with soft lether interior and automatic gearbox, diravi, sunroof, cruise controll and digital ACC isnt that bad ether 😊
Price might be low due to being a RHD sitting in France.
Let’s not forget it is a scripted show, so they can say whatever they plan to say.
Love an XM
Well deserved guys.....
I sent mine to the scrapyard. I regret it, but I didn't have space and no one wanted it, not even as a gift XD
I dont like french cars at all, but I had an xm v6 many years ago, it was a great car to drive, wish I still had it because its so rare now days.

How come all the high end Audis, Mercedes, BMW's all end up in former Eastern Europe ?
great to watch you guys but when you tot up the costs you never mention the hours spent or the Labour costs, just a thought
...or usage of a well-equipped workshop, the driving around to pick up cars or parts...
Tampoco muestran el costo del viaje a Francia para ir a comprar el auto!, y ese viaje cuesta mucho dinero 🤔
🤔5 days? Me thinks not! 😂😂😂
12.55 asked if spheres are front or rear than later acts surprised when asked what about the other 5.....if asked if they are front or rear at 12.55 he must have known there is more than 2.....seems a bit..i dunno....
Forgot to mention i still love this programme....
Get over yourself
😂 you're really being pedantic
Will no quería gastar mucho dinero, por eso no inspeccionaron ni cambiaron las otras esferas, calcularon que estaban en buen estado 🤗
The hours these guys work they don’t deserve a business that works
Ease up. They're fun to watch and it's just a bit of fun.
Esas esferas centrales no era necesario cambiarlas porque no estaban averiadas, Will y Gus son muy ahorrativos! 😆😅😂
The French guy has a Halfords jump start ?
thiis is super . 🌟
I would like to see Wills car done up so it would do the job better and be a credit to your businesse Adrian Geelong Australia
Why mess with the spheres when you know there is a leak in a pipe???
I’m surprised you bought a French car from France and its right hand drive. I would have expected a left hand drive?
Why is this XM y3 a RHD??? The first Registration was been in France, usually are there only LHD-Cars.
1 owner? We’ve already seen 3 of it’s owners!
Cuándo carajos vuelven Will y Gus?... o los están buscando los que compraron sus autos?
🤗😂😅😆😳
Ginger goes to Fwance.
Bester Motor 2.1 turbo Diesel 😊😊😊
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Good show but it's a little tiring listening to the old story of making a profit from these cars when everyone watching knows you are making your money from the sale of this TV show................We the viewer aren't that stupid!
The cost of collection to France wipes most profit
Its entertaining..dont be a danny downer..
And when you see the 25 people in the rolling text after the show that all need a salary, it makes it even more ridiculous ... Just call it what it is, entertainment...
Wonderful entertainment
You can skip the well known. Intro...
Buyer has a Porsche and a Mercedes Benz and claims he only has 2250 lol

Huh? What sorcery is this? A right hand drive citroen xm in France? Reallly? What luck.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The buyer was a scrooge, with all those cars in the back.....2250....
Step toe and son of the csr trade. It's all fun, guys. Don't take this show seriously. It's TV programming and not a real business. Behind the cameras is a professional production team. It's not real, guys. No more than the old BBC Step toe and Son series was. Enhoy. Suspend belief. It's fun. No more than that.
I would have changed both front bearings
I agree but since they are selling it and want to keep cost minimum it is understandable to replace faulty one only.
Nice working your wery good mechanics 👍👍
A garden full of expensive cars and a final bid of 2250. What a joke.
is it me or does the buyer at the end seem; more money, more to have?
he asks for all what is done but does not seem likely to pay for the service.
This guy is a liar he put down it's a 1 owner which is a out and out LiE
Oh no...don't tell on them! Hahahaha
Hey Will. Get rid of your Land Rover and get a Toyota.

Citroen are the crappiest of manufacturer's.. had a c4 and to say it is a money pit heap of crap is an understatement
