X-Type Saloon 2008 2ltr SE. Battery warning light stays on.
May not be a battery problem. Check the voltage on the battery with engine stopped then check the voltage with the engine running. Should be about 14 volts with engine running. If it isn't, get the alternator checked.

Estate Tailgate glass not opening
You need to remove the wiper as far as I can remember. Be careful as the wires are very fragile.

TEMPERATURE GAUGE
You are getting too technical. Try what BM Chidders suggested and work from there. You can also test it with a resistance meter. If you are going to remove the gauge then either have a new one or a second hand one with you to change it over. Presumably the heater is working so that would rule out the thermostat?

18 inch alloy upgrade on Jaguar XE 2017
Using bigger wheels denotes using a lower profile tyre to keep the circumference as was. So they should not rub but the ride will be harsher.

DRIVERS DOOR WINDOW NOT WORKING
Quite possibly has come off the runner. Remove the door card and check it out if you feel competent enough. If not, take it to a garage or an auto electrician.

Automatic gearbox
A 20 year old car with very few miles. Could very well be a stretched cable as JustBadly suggests. While checking the cable give it a good spray with some spray grease (preferably) or WD40. Lack of use can cause the mechanisms to seize up.

Bluetooth music
It is your car. However, there are many after market items you can buy which will allow you to stream music via your stereo speakers. Any good auto store will advise you.

April 2020 New Vehicle excise duty rates.
Your lucky, £565 for my x type. If you go to the gov website to check if your car is taxed and MOT'd there is a link there to check the rates for your vehicle. All you need is the 11 digit number on the front of the V5. But dont worry, the s type will not be RD2 rated.

New Member with X-Type 3.0 Sovereign Estate
Really smart looking car. Sounds like battery needs replaced in the fob or a sticky or bad connection inside the fob. Refurb kits are readily available on fleabay at a reasonable cost. Same happened with mine when I first got her.
