X-TYPE 2.5 V6, Service Bay, Apr 09, p66-70 Car Mechanics Anyone got a copy they can scan & Send ? I've got all the issues from 2010 but cleared out the pre 2010 stuff a year ago and have just bought an 07 2.5V6 AWD message me re e-mail,address  Thanks, Boyd  or I'll post & edit out after ?

Thanks

I'm looking at an Autobox fluid change as I'm on  76,000    dont mind travelling  but  want it done buy  jag autobox specialist   not really looked into it yet 

key might be similar to  ford from the mondeo parts bin ???  I'll try our local auto key specialist  like merc you cant just buy a blank and code it yourself  its the ECU interface that requires  a specialist 

Re  your fluid cahnge have you tried    "The  jag specialist "   sort of near lincolnshire ?  well spoken of 

My X type only came with one key  if i want a second one ;

How much from Jaguar ?

can I get one cloned at a key specialist ? 

with my other cars ( mercs ) there is a specialist who can supply and code to the vehicle cheaper than the main dealer )

After a bit of searching  I've bought this  December 07   2.5 V6 AWD  Sport Premium  Its for my wife and shes pleased as punch with it  just got to do an Oil  & filters  Change  Check any Codes present and  Check The AWD transfer Box Oil level ?  not sure how to do that yet Any Info ?

Thanks  Boyd 

Thanks for that I was aware of the sills , forgot to list it 

and peter thats a nice red X type,  just confirms that her preference for met blue or red is the right choice - looks lovely 

who does your mechanical work  Jag Main dealer ? 

once I've bought ours likely to put it into an independant for a good going over 

Based in Sutton Coldfield  West Midlands  Currently own 4 mercedes of which the wifes 1997 C240  whilst still mechanically fit for another 60K+ ( 135K at moment )  it is now a bit tatty round the wheelarches and  has a large rust bubble round the bootlid lock ( common on these )  It has been stalwart over the 10 years of ownership  but it is aesthetically time to move on,  we both liked the old style XJ's and she has hankered after an x type after seeing an aquaintances  about 6months ago . I would dearly love to be able to persuade her to get an X350  V6  as they seem good reliability wise as  i do have concerns about the X-type in terms of the transfer box and the auto  but she says too big  so there we are , I should add  I'm afraid it has to be auto  and  it has to be petrol , and cream / or beige leather ( and to narrow it down even further red or light metallic blue ;-)  ) so we are looking at  2004-2007 cars today In the end she deserves to have what she wants life's too short ,  and its a retirement treat  ( live now! )  and as said she deserves to have what she wants ,so  here's hoping  we find a good one and it can live up to its predecessor .

I shall be checking

D & R selection on cold start

Transfer box whine 

Front Pulley Rumble

Central locking

Boot Lock

Aircon

Inner Tyre wear

Suspension Knocks

and probably plug it in to a diagnostic reader

and the rest of the usual stuff but the above is what i glean to be X type weaknesses

favourite at moment is a 70k 2.5   or a  62k  3.0 

520 Tax band (unless its a pre march 06  2.5 ) bit of a Bu**er but if it has to be petrol just have to swallow it extra 1k over 5 years not the end of the world
