I have a couple of problems with my 2001 x type se 3.0 . I bought it today .

1. Passenger front door doesn't always unlock

2. Passenger front speakers don't work

3. Brakes are not very good

4. Increadably loud banging noise when going over a bump , from passenger side front .

Can anyone help with solutions or diagnosis ?

Thank you

Hi,

How you doing Ross.

As for problem no 3 I'd imagine you need new brake pads and or discs.

For problem no 4 it sounds to me like you need a new drop link or possible lay wish bone. More likely to be the drop link. You buy these as a pair which should only cost about £40 and an hours labour to fit. If the wish nine the part will be double that and the same amount of time to fit. Its nothing major to worry about its nearly a 13 year old car you need to remember. When I first got my x type on a 52 plate it was mint condition but had a few sensors go and a drop link don't be did heartened once you fix these small issues you shouldn't get any for a while.

Problem no 2 could be blown speakers but replacements are readily available for pennys really from lots of outlets and straight forward to replace. As for your front door not locking when you take it to a garage for breaks or drop link get them to check it out :-) hope that some of that might of helped dude
