My god that's bad,but mine was all underneath car theres more cosmetic work on there also

Hi might be the actual coolant tank cap ,happened to me with a 2.1 petrol version the cap had split in middle and had to be prised off

Well £1300 lighter but a valid MOT I would trust,which means should I make a complaint agains the previous garage for its MOT as some of the rust on the sills must have been visible as no way the holes I saw appeared in a year,the garage was in Bradford

Thanks explains a lot and Apparantly the ones for the 3.0 are different to the 2.1 2.2 models so special order quote is over 4 figures at moment so no Christmas for me lol

Well my first one with this car,rear brake calliper seized ,rear shock absorber leaking but the main issue rusty sills and they were bad wondering if this is an issue on xtypes.my previous car was the 2.1 and was fine ,this car is a 3.0 and the awd model were there any design differences that could make this a problem will make sure the work is correctly rustproofed,oh and one of the headlamps looks knackered ,so eBay here I come ,so going in on we'd should have back on sat I hope ,off to take out a second mortgage

Just put ignition on and put in reverse if like my xtype you don't need engine running if you put your ear close to sensor you should be able to hear it

Hi think I have read on here that some double din units are to deep to fit,on my second xtype and replaced the fitted unit am thinking of fitting this in new car but this car has steering wheel mounted controls so need to find a unit compatible,think it took about 30 mins to fit and quicker to take out ,make sure you get the right colour facia adaptor as I got grey when I needed black which is ok as this one has the grey,

It's finding one tried eBay no matches so might have to go with the retrofit sat nav unit and see what my local car audio centre can fit

The cd player has stopped working so am planning to replace ,have the digital. Climate control and wheel mounted controls was thinking about the Jag sat nav unit but I want to be able to use my iPod ,so anyone found a unit that can work with the fitted controls and iPod connected ,thanks

Hi guys bought a nifty little gadget off Amazon for £1.41,it tells you the voltage of the car battery and also when the engine is running showss how much charge is being made .its called an LCD cigarette lighter battery voltage meter,my battery died a few weeks ago without warning on a Sunday afternoon after shops had shut as mine is an auto no chance of a bump start ,replaced battery on the Mondayand purchased one of these ,battery reads a steady 12.1 in the morning and over 15.2 when engine running, should prove useful over the winter ,would have posted a link to site but unfortunatly no idea how

Well did the test with ignition on but engine not running and found that the second one in on passenger side was silent so will have a look and see if I can rind a replacement

Thanks guys could you not test with ignition on but engine not running?

Hi guys after reading a few posts about these find there are two types anyone know which is which as they are on eBay and assume it's an easy diy fix

Thought about changing mine for newer model but my present model didn't see that as a positive, don't know why

Funny I have one of them also but can never find the off switch
