I have Uniroyal Rainsports on my x-type. I find them fantastic in the wet, very good in dry, and very surefooted in snow and ice. Never had a wheelspin at all in recent weather.
-
Fantastic advice there lol.
-
Has started. Can anybody recommend somewhere I can buy a reconditioned transfer box that is guaranteed. Cheers, Steve...

The dreaded transfer box whine

Found one on ebay from a place in liverpool. Will let you know if all goes well or not so well. -
Looks like sound advice. Recently changed my transfer box oil and now I need a new or reconditioned one. (Transfer box)
-
Hanging onto low gears would normally suggest low oil pressure in the g/box and possibly a low oil level in the box.

What are the fault codes?

Took the old girl out for a good run today. Hopefully she forgives me for leaving her by herself for 3 weeks.

Many thanks to Joe for taking the time to decode my VIN.
-
What was the outcome of this? Cheers, Steve...
-
Does the x type estate have one in the boot or do you have to fit one yourself. Will be parking at airport for 3 weeks and want to plug in a solar trickle charger. The cigar lighter in front has no power supply when ignition is off. TIA Steve...
-
How embarassing. Car started first turn of the key for AA man. Said the charger had done its job well. Have no idea why it had not started for me. Think the car was sulking for being left idle for 3 weeks. Fickle things these jags.
-
So run the cable out under the bonnet and through a door?
-
Never worked. Flat as a pancake. Apparently its better to plug these solar trickle chargers to the obd plug.

Burst or broken hose on air flow meter?

Oops!!!

If it is not the wheelspin start at the traffic lights then it is probably something mechanical. Certainly whoever fitted the tyres should be consulted. Is the wear even across the whole tyre? Any photo of the tyres? A garage may also look at suspension bushes etc which if worn could cause excessive wear. Tyre pressures also.

Sticks out like a sore thumb lol. How could I not see that!! Many thanks to all who helped. Steve...
-
Hi Rodney, Where in the boot? Damned if I can see one.
-
One of the first things I did was source another alloy wheel and relegate the spacesaver to the shed.
-
Has the 5 speed auto. Is there a filter to change? Garage says no. 3.0 x type awd auto. Have tried a search but nothing conclusive found.
-
Hi Joe, It is the 5 speed Auto. Maybe its just not in there any more, anyways, they couldnt find the part on the jaguar parts site they use. Probably wont use them again for that kind of work.
-
Oil all changed in gearbox, transfer box topped up (apparently lots metal filings on the plug), new brakefluid and new power steering fluid. Lets hope it goes, stops, and turns better.
