Jaguar X Type 2.0D.

Hi all , I have an X Type Estate and it needs new rear shocks - how can I tell if they are Sport or Comfort - to match the front ? Or does it matter ? Thank you for your attention , much appreciated. Colin.

Hello Everyone. I have an intermittent problem with the Turbo , usual symptom - Glow Plug Warning Light Flashes - car goes into limp mode. It is intermittent and I can nurse the car to decent speeds. I thought I would try a decarbon - this has been done but not fixed the problem. Mechanic seemed to think it might be a sensor - he put his diagnostic on after we recreated the problem and the code P132B came up. Can anyone out there please give me a clue to the meaning of this code - I cannot find it listed anywhere. Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Hi Everyone - my first post - and as always - where better to ask for help than someone who has had the same problem ! I know you are out there. OK - bear with me - just purchased a 10 year old X Type - 1 owner , FJSH , 83,000 2.0L. Looks super - it replaces my 2003 X Type - 140,000 and very tired (of course I have had the pain of the DMF / Starter Motor issue). So - first surprise - I have been getting a 5 Second audible alarm intermittent when the car goes into reverse - any ideas ? Second surprise - after this happened three times , the starter motor engaged but would not turn , also the Radio then needed a code - indicating to me that some total electrical disconnection had taken place - the garage tested the battery and said it was knackered. Could there be any connection between these two faults - I am now a little anxious that I have a fault which may be starting to short the battery. The last issue is that this car is very very smokey - you know the sort - thick and black on acceleration - my old car did this too but only on the first big acceleration of the trip - the new car does it on every acceleration. How can I 'clean it out' and stop this happening. Thank You Jaguar Friends. Ann
