TYRES?
The original fit on your X Type would have been Pirelli P6000J - the J denoting Jaguar. Sadly these are no longer available, i've used P6000s (the generic P6000 rather than the "J" type) on other cars and they've been really good tyres. I have a pair of (10 year old) P6000s on the front of my S Type and because of their age, their grip is reduced. On the rear are (5 year old) P7 Cinturatos, not impressed with those either! I'm looking for a set of tyres to replace all 4 on mine but with yours being AWD, you'll have to renew all 4 at the same time with the same type all round to get optimum results. There used to be a brand known as Corsa, these were old-pattern Pirelli tyres, made by Pirelli, i put a set of these on an old Volvo 740 about 18 years ago and transformed the car. I know with Jaguars in general, having the same type of tyre all round is more important than other cars but with any AWD/4WD it's also important to have them all wearing at the same rate to avoid transmission wind-up. I'm currently looking at a set of : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/144518219295 for mine, surprisingly good reviews for a "budget" tyre and not being impressed with the Pirellis (first time ever Pirelli have failed to impress me) they're probably a reasonable bet. Will be interested to know what you finally decide on. 😉 😄

Multiple faults... stressing me out!
If the 100Ah/900CCA will physically fit, get that one. Alternatively, have a look here : https://advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk/shop/?swoof=1&product_brand=diesel-all-models-2008-present A good selection from £95 upwards to £240..........

Multiple faults... stressing me out!
Maybe once a fortnight or once a month, take it for a longer run to give it a bit of a concentrated charge to help get round this problem. I use a 1988 Volvo 760 as my "Dogmobile" so its use is predominantly very short runs, however every once in a while i'll take it for a longer run to recharge the battery and blow the cobwebs out.
