  3. I'm looking at an Autobox fluid change as I'm on 76,000 dont mind travelling but want it done buy jag autobox specialist not really looked into it yet key might be similar to ford from the mondeo parts bin ??? I'll try our local auto key specialist like merc you cant just buy a blank and code it yourself its the ECU interface that requires a specialist Re your fluid cahnge have you tried "The jag specialist " sort of near lincolnshire ? well spoken of
  4. My X type only came with one key if i want a second one ; How much from Jaguar ? can I get one cloned at a Key specialist ? with my other cars ( mercs ) there is a specialist who can supply and code to the vehicle cheaper than the main dealer )

  6. Thanks for that I was aware of the sills , forgot to list it and peter thats a nice red X type, just confirms that her preference for met blue or red is the right choice - looks lovely who does your mechanical work Jag Main dealer ? once I've bought ours likely to put it into an independant for a good going over
  7. Based in Sutton Coldfield West Midlands Currently own 4 mercedes of which the wifes 1997 C240 whilst still mechanically fit for another 60K+ ( 135K at moment ) it is now a bit tatty round the wheelarches and has a large rust bubble round the bootlid lock ( common on these ) It has been stalwart over the 10 years of ownership but it is aesthetically time to move on, we both liked the old style XJ's and she has hankered after an x type after seeing an aquaintances about 6months ago . I would dearly love to be able to persuade her to get an X350 V6 as they seem good reliability wise as i do have concerns about the X-type in terms of the transfer box and the auto but she says too big so there we are , I should add I'm afraid it has to be auto and it has to be petrol , and cream / or beige leather ( and to narrow it down even further red or light metallic blue ;-) ) so we are looking at 2004-2007 cars today In the end she deserves to have what she wants life's too short , and its a retirement treat ( live now! ) and as said she deserves to have what she wants ,so here's hoping we find a good one and it can live up to its predecessor . I shall be checking D & R selection on cold start Transfer box whine Front Pulley Rumble Central locking Boot Lock Aircon Inner Tyre wear Suspension Knocks and probably plug it in to a diagnostic reader and the rest of the usual stuff but the above is what i glean to be X type weaknesses favourite at moment is a 70k 2.5 or a 62k 3.0 520 Tax band (unless its a pre march 06 2.5 ) bit of a Bu**er but if it has to be petrol just have to swallow it extra 1k over 5 years not the end of the world
