"A spectacular bargain, but hard to find"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

External temp gauge doesn't work - they never do!

A.B.S. warning light comes on - bleeding system & cleaning all electrical connectors cures this.

Alarm sounds for no reason - caused by worn out batteries in alarm unit.

Sunroof won't open - lubricate drive belt with wd40 (through open roof, undo cover)

General comments?

For a diesel car of this size it performs and handles to beat any other.

The fuel economy is unbeatable at 40 m.p.g. plus.

There is more room & comfort inside than any other car.

What type of batteries are in your alarm key fob? The alarm in my newly purchased XM has a perimeter alarm that is not working correctly. The siren has been muted, but the lights still flash for 30 seconds when you open the doors, replacing the key fob batteries with type 3025 batteries as stated in the handbook doesn't work, the previous batteries were a different type, but also didn't work.
