Hi fellow members, I'm new to the forum but 10 years & 3 3.0 x-types into the cars themselves.
My current one is a 21 plate 3.0 v6 sport auto and I find myself in the strange position, for the 1st time,
of requiring a catalytic converter for the second bank, and also finding that they are not available
new in the UK, apparently. Unless, to coin a phrase, you know differently. I would appreciate
any help in finding a supplier.
I have found several used ones on the interweb, but putting a used one on for what appears to
be something close to the price of a new one, £150 - £200, seems a poor deal.
Thanks in advance for any help.

item 6 Jaguar X-Type 2004 3.0i 169kW AIR BOX INTAKE RESONATOR VACUUM CANISTER 1X439F764
Hi guys, after reading the above description of the problems encountered I thought I'd throw in my 2 pennies.
I was having the same issue with my 2001 3.0 petrol V6, my 3rd which I've owned for 7 years. After much searching around the engine bay for the source of the strange hissing sound I found the airbox intake resonator had split along the join between the top & bottom. It sits under the engine cover, behind the air filter box. £12.95 off eBay for a replacement, cleared the codes & 3 months of normal driving so far.
Hope this offers some help.
Graham.
