Cheers David part of the fun for me is tinkering with cars that I own. And driving them of course! I'm off to the airport early tomorrow morning and actually looking forward to the drive!

Had my X type for nearly a year now and I really like it. Its a 2.5 AWD auto with lowish mileage. I bought it because 1)I wanted a Jag 2) It seems a helluva lot of car for the money I do all my own servicing and maintenance and these forums are great sources of info. fairly soon after acquiring I did a complete flush and fluid change to the Auto box (what came out was very dirty) and the transfer box which appeared to have not much oil in it - I assume it leaks past the seals into the gear box because there was no external leak or does it just evaporate!? No wonder these boxes fail. I also mended the rear door speaker which was not working, the clips on the door panels are the most difficult to remove i have ever come across!! I have changed the front discs and pads, serviced the rear brakes (handbrake was reading low for the MOT) replaced the brake fluid, PAS fluid and yesterday did the oil change, Thought i would do it in my lunch hour until I tried to get the old oil filter off. That thing was tight, I have a strap type filter tool but that was not touching it so ended up spending £17 on a nice draper filter removal tool with 3 arms that clamp as you twist - eventually it moved - what a faff! Is it just mine or are they always this tight? All in all I am please with the car and will be keeping it until i can afford an upgrade - Id like an XJR or might go for the 3.0 l XF Will post some pics when i have done the front grill upgrade apologies my pic shows my other car - MX5
