  1. HI Corey I haven't yet sold the car - I make use of it once or twice a week at the moment. Happy to arrange a time when I could show it to you and we could have a ride in it. This would have to be in about a fortnight from now - I have some familly trips to do. Please DM me so that we can arrange a date and time regards Alistair
  2. The current mileage on the car is 88143 and I have been driving about 1,500 miles a year for the past few years. The MOT runs until the end of September 2024
  3. I have decided to sell my 2004 Jaguar X-Type saloon - Reg BJ54 KKH. It has a proper ULEZ conversation which means that it can run on LPG at 0.99 per litre. It runs well and rides beautifully. I am London based - near the end of the M1 motorway
  4. Have decided to sell this car - because I am not using it. It rides and handles very well and uses LPG at 0.99p per litre. Will be selling it from March 10th onwards. LPG compliant
  5. Now keeping the car until further notice - had the LPG fixed and she is running like a dream
  6. Have had the LPG fixed and am now using the car again for journeys - paying £0.99 per litre for fuel (!) Might sell in 2023 but with zero depreciation and 100% comfort it has to be the right offer.
  7. I have an URGENT problem and I would be grateful for some recommendations. Apologies for the length of this email. My Jag X-Type (Reg Number: BJ54 KKH) was working fine until yesterday morning when I seemed to encounter a flat battery. I charged it up but it didn't seem to help. A local mechanic got it started - using a standard mobile battery starter. So I took it for a drive to our shopping centre but when I got there I found that I could not start it again. I called out the rescue service - the engineer there found that it was not an alternator fault but my battery had developed a faulty cell which meant that it could not retain the charge. He restarted the car and I drove it straight to Halfords in West Hendon where they fitted a new battery. During the removal and replacement of the battery the car alarm sounded (there is is just the standard car alarm and nothing extra had been fitted.) The first battery that Halfords installed turned out to be faulty (it had lost its charge in long storage). The second battery they fitted was OK but now the car is refusing to start because it is coming up with the error message "Gearbox Fault". Using an after-market programmer I am unable to remove this. Basically the car believes that it has been stolen and it is currently sitting in a service bay at the Halfords store in West Hendon. So I need a call-out service which can come and collect the car and take it to a specialist Jaguar engineer who can reprogram it so that it can run again. I live in Hendon, (Postcode NW4 4PN) . Any help and advice would be appreciated. Alistair
  8. Plans slightly changed - now planning on buying a Jaguar XF saloon in September 2022 as my replacement. An automatic ULZ compliant 2.0 litre in a dark colour.
  9. During June 2022 if any member is interested in purchasing the car in Sept 2022 please contact me. I plan to take and upload recent photographs of the car (and the rear bumper damage) in July 2022 just before I put it on public sale.
  10. I am planning on buying a second hand Jaguar XF Sportbrake in July 2022 from a dealer and rather than them taking my X type car as a trade-in I would like to sell it to one of the members of this forum at a small premium over what I am likely to be offered.
  11. There are photos of the car as I bought it in my Future Classic attachment. It is not that different today.
  12. True but I simply cannot find the time to drive the car to Battersea Autos, leave it for a day or so and then collect it. I live in North West London and tend to have to work crazy hours on my work.
  13. I've decided to sell in July 2022 (Now probably selling in 2023- see my last posting) my grey Jaguar X-Type petrol saloon. My car is on the LPG Register, its number is BJ54 KKH. It is fitted with a BRC LPG system and the JLM Valve Saver Fluid is always kept fully topped up. It has done less than 86,000 miles For the past year the engine has been cutting-out when it switches to LPG so although I currently have a full tank of LPG in the boot it is only running on petrol. Aside from that fault the car is running perfectly - I always run it on Shell V-Power petrol. Aside from a dink in the rear bumper which is something which could be fixed by an enthusiast, the car is in a pretty good state. I have been told by Battersea Autogas that fixing the LPG should be pretty inexpensive - probably less than £100. LPG currently costs £0.86 per litre which is a considerable saving over the cost of petrol - basically LPG costs less than half the cost of petrol. Rather than put the car in as a standard trade-in to a dealer and getting the automated low end price, I would like to sell the car at a small premium to a Jaguar enthusiast who is a member of this Club and who might wish to enjoy its real potential. Here is an article from the Telegraph on Future Classic X Type and details of my car when I bought it. Please email me for background and photos etc Future Classic Friday_ Jaguar X-type.pdf
  14. Any idea how I could get this fixed at a reasonable price in London? I am planning on selling the Jaguar in the New Year and this dink is the only thing that is wrong with it. Alistair
