**2001 Jaguar X-Type 2.5 V6 SE Automatic - Low Mileage | Twin Tow Bar | Modern Classic** This rare early Y-reg Jaguar X-Type 2.5 V6 SE Automatic has just 67,000 miles on the clock and is a superb example of a modern classic with great potential. It's smooth, mechanically sound, and well cared for perfect as a characterful daily driver, weekend cruiser, or light restoration project. Under the bonnet is a silky-smooth V6 engine that starts first time and runs beautifully. It's had a recent oil change, new air filter, and a new battery. The original automatic gearbox was replaced with a unit from a 2008 model, improving drive quality and long-term reliability. A twin electric tow bar was professionally fitted less than five years ago and used lightly to tow a small caravan for one year always within the car's capabilities. The car is currently SORN and hasn't been on the road since its last MOT expired in September 2023. Up to that point, it consistently passed its MOTs and has been regularly started and maintained during this off-road period. Inside, everything works as it should electric windows, lights, and the original Jaguar cassette stereo. The interior is clean and complete, with some tasteful trim upgrades (original parts included for purists). A full-size spare wheel is also included. Cosmetically, it's in fair condition for its age with some marks, paint blemishes, and a few age-related quirks (e.g. bonnet release cable and coolant reservoir would benefit from minor attention). Main cosmetic damage photographed. It presents well and drives even better. Highlights: Just 67,000 miles Strong, smooth-running V6 engine Replacement 2008 gearbox Professionally fitted twin electric tow bar Recently serviced - oil, filter, and battery Interior upgrades (original parts included) Full service history up to 2022 Walkaround video available on request Originally owned by an elderly lady in the South of England, this Jaguar was kept garaged and carefully driven. I've owned it since 33,000 miles and maintained it with care, including regular oil changes even when not in frequent use. A solid, low-mileage example of a future classic with comfort, character, and plenty of life left in it. Ideal for the enthusiast, collector, or anyone wanting something unique, reliable, and unmistakably British. IMG_4558.mov

Have just replaced the tyre repair kit with a space saver after coming across a very helpful thread on this forum, so decided to join.

I just joined this forum to specifically thank the op of this thread. Was in the same situation as having the tyre repair kit which was a much use as a chocolate tea pot when I had a blow out last year on a remote road in West Wales. Will spare you the details, but after coming across this thread whilst searching the internet, I can confirm all the parts mentioned are correct. I even checked with my nearby dealer to get a quote. They quoted £1500 for everything. Thanks to ebay and this thread, I got everything for less than half of the dealer quote. Just to add to the details of the load floor upper, the part number mentioned by Jaguar is T2H15351PVJ and this came on the packaging. When I went to buy this on ebay, there were 2 items advertised, however only one of them had the GX63-47022-AE number on it. The cheaper one had the number for the tyre repair kit version which I could just make out on the ebay pics. The seller I bought from specialises in JLR parts and even confirmed the carpet would fit after supplying my VIN.

Now then, now then, jingle jangle chrome. 😁

Hi there, what you are reading it with? Bear in mind cheaper dongles etc (if it's the case) usually are not able to read all modules as they don't have required protocols

Hi N6 JMX thanks - really kind of you to come back. I’ve tried undocking / repairing / turning off / restarting phone / deleting Bluetooth links / turning round 3 time etc etc. it’s either - Invery unit faulty - seems unlikely - socket to wire to radio faulty… seems unlikely - somethings changed in stereo - unlikely - somethings changed in Bluetooth link - possible Do you have a similar unit - has that survived the IOS upgrade? Thx g

Fair enough🤣

Hi - what sort of figure are you expecting? Regards John

Yes it's a AGM stop/start battery.

Car needs scanning with SDD first off. Problem could be electronic, issue with gearbox or likely torque converter. Sounds like an electronic issue somewhere to me, hence the SDD scan.

Good luck Barry

These arms are common wear parts on the XF

I did this to spray the plastic chrome bits on the top of the fake vents. Make sure you rub the 'chrome' down with very fine wet and dry paper, to give the paint something to adhere too. Also use a plastic primer on it before top coat of black. Happy days.

A gearbox remap may be better for you, considering the modest gains with an engine remap. I have had my XFR remapped and pullies changed on SC. I have about 600hp and 700nm torque. This doesnt make the car undriveable, you just have to learn 'how' to drive this sort of power. Coincidentally it has improved my mpg. Combined is about 28mpg. As for 'ride' my R is perfectly smooth. With the trick suspension it's comfortable just cruising around and sharpens itself up with enthusiastic driving. So you get the best of both worlds. If your NA has the trick suspension, then there will be no difference in ride between it and the R version.

Thank you! I'll take a look.

thank you

Hi I am Tim and have just joined. I have a Jaguar XJ V6 Diesel Portfolio - 2011 I was wondering if anyone could help or advise. I have had the car approximately 6 months ago. Someone pointed out to me that my brake light on the rear drivers side was not working. The indicator and the side light at the top a small strip was working, but the brake and side lights were not working. A local mechanic looked at it and said that the light unit was half full of water. I took it off and drilled 2 small holes at the bottom to drain it, but unfortunately the brake and side lights are not working, just the indicator and a strip of the side light. Is it possible to get this repaired. I live in North Wales, Abergele so somewhere in the area would be good. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Tim

Does anyone have any recommendations for a really good/experienced garage to look after an early 1990’s Jag XJRS? Based near Walton - and needing help with engine trouble 😑.

Hi Martin, why not list your "For Sale" item in the Marketplace section a little further down the Forum Homepage. No-one is really going to come to the model section to look at items for sale and one more post here and your item disappears from the front page! Just a suggestion. N6 JMX

Distracting

I don't think they ever light up. TBF it is a pretty standard gearbox set up in the manual so I can't say I have ever seen it as an issue.
