had same problem with my 3.o litre X type, £400 lighter now as a result

just posted some photos on another part of forum, they were pretty bad.

I too wondered how they could have got so bad in a year since it's last MOT

when dealer had it tested.

I urge everyone to get them checked as comes as a nasty shock when a 

total of £750 lighter for MOT

welcome to the club

We all adore our Jaguars

Had my X type 3.0 litre awd just over a year now, and I love it. Always been a Jag fan.

took it for MOT end of January and oh my what a shock, failed on a few things,

needed new brake discs and pads on rear, new drop links on front suspension,

but the big shocker was it need welding on front sills on both sides, ok I thought

it's of a certain age and should not be to bad. as photos attached show it was 

a total shock to see how bad they had become. so I urge you to get your cars checked.

£400 to get a welder to put right, but I still love my Jag, that 3.0 Litre Purrr and AWD 

is pure heaven.

the cause of the problem is water gets trapped behind the plastic trim, and cannot escape

fully, so just sits there

Jaguar x type 2003 3.0 V6 auto

121,000 mile had since feb 2015

just gone for MOT and sadly failed, new discs and pads on rear, drop links on front suspension.

but main worry is need to have new sills on both sides as badly corroded, plastic cover inside doors apparently

known for retaining water and corroding fast, past MOT last year year, but the rainy year and damp conditions

have just helped to make things worse

this is my first Jaguar, been a big fan for years. final bill likely to be about £800+

Er'indoors not best pleased, but hey i love my Jaguar

just got my 3.0 litre 2003 x type and must admit to being disappointed about fuel return, will premium bp unleaded in future as i was using regular supermarket unleaded
