First time jaguar owner

[Moonraker63]

Hi Moonraker63 here.

First time I've owned a Jaguar...long time dreaming ... And can honestly say my XE Portfolio is lovely. 65 plate in grey, New MOT last week ( no advisories!!) wheels refurbed yesterday. First time I've had an autobox too which really is strange but getting used to it. Small niggles being the aircon needs a regas, being done next week, and somehow the place i bought her from have put 2 new tyres on the rear wheels which are the wrong size, should be 225 and they've put 245 on instead...daft question but is that a problem?

Anyway other than that ... I love my Jag

Welcome to the wonderful world of Jaguar motoring, it has a great community aspect to it, so be sure to get along to local shows and meet fellow enthusiasts.

Not sure about the tyre size choice for the XE, but there are several ways to check what tyres are correct fro your car. An obvious one is the sticker, usually in the driver's door jamb, that advises the tyre pressures - often tyre sizes are given there as well. Another option is to check in your Owner's Handbook, there you will find the tyres that are advised for your vehicle. Finally, visit the Kwik Fit website and type in your registration number to their tyre selection tool, which will advise you of a range of tyres to suit your car.

At 9 years old, your car could be on its second or third set of boots by now, so it is not always correct to think the current tyres are the correct dimensions. Previous owner may have changed and gotten it wrong at that point.

Good luck and happy motoring.
