Hi guys and Gals
I'm new over here but not new to owners clubs.
I got myself a 2005 X-Type estate as i needed a nice estate car to replace my Volvo. this thing is surprisingly good.
I expected it to be a mondeo with a jag badge on, but boy was i wrong. it's 2.5 V6 has plenty of torque and put through the 5 speed manual box it drives lovely although a lazy big engine it just purrs (now its had new plugs and coil packs). only thing to get used to is the unforgiving clutch, as its AWD there's no traction lost if you catch the clutch wrong (usually you would just spin the wheels) so it either jumps off the line or stalls.
a few niggles but some fixed, a huge thanks for the how to's as they have already been useful.
I'm sure we will speak again.
Nik
