So after a few bits pulled and cleaned including Egr, few sensors and intake manifold, I found the top boost hose had a small split, replaced it and 50yards down the road the bottom split, changed that and all much much better.

I have same car and year, mine has the locking nut key in that space

I had the same on the drivers side rear, couldn't find the fault and ended up opening up the door card and bridging the wires to the lock to fool the car into thinking its closed, I later read it could be a break or short in the wires going into the door on the hinge side.

Thanks Marty Changed the air filter and fuel filter today. Filled the new fuel filter with injection system cleaner, done it to all my diesels, works a treat, haven't done many miles since and noticed a bit of crud coming out, hopefully will clear and run cleaner, she does sound a bit smoother, going to do a full oil flush and change with a new decent oil filter. I need this motor to last a good 3 years or more. Fed up with changing cars each year.

Thanks Marty, It was a one owner and did no more than 2k a year, he had it serviced religiously with jaguar but it has stood still under its cover for 6months, I've driven it for a couple weeks and I reckon it needs a good service, fingers crossed it solves it, had a run of bad luck with cars and coud so with the x type being good for atleast 3years.

Hi all, Got a slight issue with 55plate 56k 2litre diesel manual. When driving steady in any gear it seems to have a slight stutter and I have noticed it is a bit smoky from the rear, looks like a darkish grey and heavy black when on the accelerator a bit hard. I am used to an old L200 so pretty much just blanked the Egr straight away on it and never had issues, I don't really want to mess too much with the Jag as it was running lovely until yesterday. I not had it long and plan a good service, oil and filter, fuel filter and air filter and pollen filter, will have a look at cleaning Egr and intake manifold and while it is off change the glow plugs. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

I'm still getting no joy getting phone to connect, can't find anything in the owners handbook, may try you tube and see if anyone has done a video.

I would say they are ultrasonic sensors for the alarm and possibly a microphone for a phone connection.

Thanks Frank.

Just a polite hello and thanks for letting me in the forum. Just been given a 55plate 1 owner X-Type, 2litre Diesel on 55k miles, 1st Jag I have owned, always fancied getting one, toyed with either an S Type or XF or a nice XJ Have a few bits to sort, Passenger window sometimes doesn't quite close and whistles, Rear door sensor playing up, bypassed it for now to stop alarm going off. Rear parking sensors don't make a noise, I get a slight noise from each one but no beeping. Steering is a bit creaky. Will be making good use of the search bar. Once I've done these little things and a full service I hope to change the wheels for black and also change the chrome to body colour. Also fancy getting rid of the out of date satnav and screen for a dab radio smart screen stereo with parking camera. Gear knob needs changing where the last owner had a habit of picking the leather! Would like to get an updated colour coded grill . Trying to find an aftermarket supplier for bit and bobs Just little bits to suit my taste. I look forward to perusing the forum for ideas and information.
