I really wish I could find one thing I like about my 2.5 sport, but having owned it for a few weeks now, it is a complete disappointment. 65k, full Jag history and very well looked after, but it is not a patch on my Vectra 1.9 diesel, I traded for it, and I hated the Vectra. Over the next couple of weeks it's getting a proper service and four wheel alignment, I'll see what it's like after that, but I suspect it will soon be up for sale. Shame; my last Jag was back in 88, an XJRS and I regretted selling it the moment it drove away, but this X Type, doesn't do anything for me. Russ

I heard that the trials were unsuccessful, due to the snorkels being made from steel nicked from Armco barriers. ;o) Russ

Hi Trevor, I'm in Liskeard. Will post some pics when I get some time. The car needs a bit of cosmetic work to make good. The drivers door and ns rear wheel arch both have a small dent, and the os rear bumper has been touched up with an aerosol can (badly). Also someone had tried cleaning something of the front seats, and has taken the colour of in a couple of places. Are there many members in the South West? Russ

Hi All, Just picked up an X Type Sport 2.5 Manual, from Wales and driven back to Cornwall. Full Jaguar history and 65k on the clock. Few cosmetic issues, last owner was a lady since 06, one owner (fleet company) prior. Car is running very nice, a few jobs to do over the coming days just to be happy with it. Russ
