  1. As the topic is not about performance or efficiency I see point is how they look and 20' looks very good.

     

    Would they fit?

    I think so yes. They sell them online for JAguar X-Type but that may depends on offset and bore.

     

    Mine are standard 245/45R17 all around so to compare to those:

    X-Type default wheels parameters from: http://www.alloywheels.com/jaguar-x-type-alloy-wheels

    PCD: 5x108

    Wheel offset: 35 to 50mm

    Wheel Hub Center Bore: 63.4mm

    Wheel fittings: N 1/2inches

     

    Theoreticaly they shoud fit as long as wheels has ET50 to ET35 and correct PCD fitments.

    im MPG would be 34 to 47 average to 40 mpg

     

    You may compare MPG to others on http://www.fuelly.com/car/jaguar/x-type

  3. Hi Peter,

     

    Sure. Would you be in UK Mainland or directly in Birmingham or other store?

     

    Let me know when and I can send you money or just meet somewhere around. June is perfect.

    Is it really so difficult to source this parts locally?

    I understand my car is so unique;) but shouldn't be some around in worst condition.

     

    Regards,

    Lukasz

  4. Thanks Peter for contact,

     

    Now I have two companies that have brand new part at similar price. Costs of shipping to Ireland are higher when to UK. 

    This is so little part that some scrap yard in Ireland may have it for peanuts. I have some time to fit it and if really no find anywhere I can order from one of above any-time. 

     

    I am still looking for one of those. 

  5. Hello,

     

    Received I nice link to share with all about how many Jaguars were sold over years:

    http://raycee1234.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/jaguar-production-by-model.html

     

    but I would like to find more accurate details of How many X-Type Diesel Estate (2.0 and 2.2) after 2008 and before July 2009 were manufactured? Anybody know where to look?

    How many were exported and how many stayed in UK/Ireland?

     

    Regards,

    Luks

  6. Hi Ian,

     

    I done 6300km on Europe roads with pleasure to drive. No towing. 2.0L Diesel. Every stop we had I was asking to drive a bit more and more.... Super Holidays. 40 to 30 MPG Depends on Driving style. All mostly Motorways.

    I may go for 2.2 as has 6 speed gearbox and a bit more power but I am happy with one I have.

     

    Regards,

    Lukasz

  7. Hi Tom,

     

    Thanks for that mod option. I may look on that in future. I am thinking of change wheels first and replace radio to one with android onboard. This mods need special mountings so may have to shop around and if anybody have recommendation where to buy or have for sale let me know. I may post in proper Forum area when I get a bit more familiar with it.

     

    Regards

    Luk

  8. Hello Everybody,

     

    I didn't read forum yet but would like to say hello.

     

    My experience with Jag X-Type starts just last year doing Holiday trip on Europe Motorways 6300km.

    Great Experience.

     

    I may be interested into what can I do to my Jag to improve some bits. No panic on that but would be nice to see it more elegant, more performance, more fun from driving.

    Hope this Forum would be good to find advice, share my experience and meet great people.

     

    HELLO
