    There are that many x types about that parts will be available for years. Besides there are loads of Jaguar breakers out there where you can get cheaper used parts anyway. Jaguar itself runs a classic parts service where you can still get parts for some of the cars now considered classic from years ago. I personally don't think it will be a problem.

     

    As long as its got service history with it it should be ok. Bought my 02 x type 2.0 petrol 3 years ago now and had no trouble at all with it. Its now showing 65000 miles.

  2. Cabin/pollen filter change is easy too. Didn't even need to take the window wipers off, just remove the retaining clips on the plastic trim in the engine bay below where the wipers are bolted on, you can gently lift it just enough to slide out the old filter and slot the new one in without causing any damage.Next weekend, oil change. I`ve just bought two 4L bottles of Castrol 5W30 Fully Synthetic and a new oil filter so hopefully the old one wont be too jammed on.

    Dan you know Jaguar don't reccommend fully synthetic Oil in the V6 engine don't you?

    I've still got the Jaguar and the Skoda. Am I the only person in the world to own what are two very different cars!

  4. Been into The Works shop in Huddersfield today and picked up a book. It's called Jaguar Marketing the Marque - The history of Jaguar seen through it's advertising, brochures and catalogues by Nigel Thorley. It's a Haynes book and covers cars from Swallow right up to the XK in full colour. Now the best bit it was only £4.99 which is great seeing as the price inside the cover is £25. Check out your local Works to see if they have a copy.

  5. Just thought I'd share this with the other members.

    My washers stopped working. I could hear the motor buzzing but no water. I know it's been cold but plenty of screen wash in and not frozen. Took o/s (drivers side) front wheel off and then 3 screws from front of plastic wheel arch. If you release it from the bumper you can hold it to one side to get to the washer motor. Unclip the wire/plug and pull off washer pipe. Pull the motor upwards until it comes out. Prise out the rubber seal from the bottle and examine. It is a gauze type filter. Mine was blocked by blue slime so I cleaned it out with a small nailbrush. While all this is apart it might be best to flush the bottle out with clean water as I did letting it drain from the hole where the rubber seal goes. Then rebuild and everything should be fine.

    As an afterthought maybe this can be done with the wheel on if turned fully left but as I haven't tried it I can't say for sure. The electric plug got wet during this so I dried it out with kitchen towel then sprayed it with WD40 just to be safe.
