Hello from North Somerset. I have just bought (and fell in love with) a 2009 2.2 X Type. I’m looking forward to browsing the forums and hopefully being able to sort out the few very minor niggles with what I’m sure is going to be a great car. I would also be very interested in any meets that may be in my area.

Hi Nigel, Welcome to Jaguar Forums. I had a X type it was a very good car. Hope you enjoyed yours. For meets you could contact JEC Somerset branch. They have regular days out and events. If you cant find then pm me I have their details. Aubrey.

Finally got around sorting out the horns, discovered that they are the same ones fitted to ford transits / connect / mondeo, all at various prices. Whilst deliberating as to whom I should buy them from, I came across a supplier on Ebay, who sells a universal pair with the appropriate connector, ordered them they arrived quickly, so I set about fitting them, it was a doddle, I removed the front grill, slipped a 10mm rachet spanner in behind the bumper, spun the nut off, unclipped the wiring harness, dropped the horn assembly out, mounted the new horns on the old bracket popped them back in. I now have decent loud horns, instead of one's that sound like a castrated rooster, And it took less than an hour! Once I had the old horns out, I removed the wiring harness from them, and found one of the terminals to be rusted, so only one was working. Still, twenty quid and roughly an hours work was well worth it.

Hello, It is with great sadness that I am parting with my faithful Jag. I have had it over 15 years but I believe that it is now beyond repair. You should be able to see from the pictures that the air suspension has gone and the front passenger door is now locked and will not open. There are also a few other issues, such as a mileage A/B trip does not work. In summary, it is driveable (if you like a bone shaker of a ride) as I have driven it 15 miles or so, but I can't recommend it. Therefore, I believe this is a sale for spares, where a collection would be required. Any questions then please get in touch.

Hi Rob, I had a similar problem replaced the pump, problem solved.
