Don't know. He says it would get me home but I'm worried about the fluid, we've no idea how long it's been in and how much damage it's done.
All I know is he's surrended the Tax so he wasn't prepared to use it himself. But that could've been down to the tyres.

Go for it. I'd stick to a diesel though,
I've had a petrol auto one but all those I've seen in recent years have been suffering froM HG failure or valve stem seal probs.
The biggest draw back I find with the XM is, theres none in the scrap yards, having said that there's not many BXs either. Although we did find one on saturday morning and liberated it's LHM pump for a tenner

1982 Citroen GSA Spécial Estate - gone to a new home
1991 Citroen BX16 TGS Meteor - still out there somewhere!
A long while ago I ran my GSA for a short time with 20W 50 engine oil in the hydraulic system... when it proved to be too expensive to continue topping it up with LHM it was pissing it out so fast As you can imagine, the oil didn't stay in there very long. (rear cylinder and rear h/c seal failure). Yes for a while my GSA changed all of it's bodily fluids with alarming regularity. At least the oil and LHM was always, always fresh...
Now it is completely oil-tight
If this oil in the LHM tank is regular engine oil, then not too much of a prob. At least it's not got water in there...
