hi all well picked the car up from Fareham today the 2.0 est did 51 mpg at 70 on cruise control back to reading nice comfy ride as well so all good. one thing id like to ask as I cant seen to find it on here is the x type 2.0 diesel the cam belt /chain if its a belt what mileage or yrs should it be changed as I havnt gone though hand book or paperwork yet can someone inform me please thanks ron

thankyou for all your efforts on our behalf I for one will enjoy the day we may even do the whole w/end regards ron

good evening Andrew welcome to the club hope you enjoy the car & club there's plenty to look at regards ron

ive had a something like this on a c6 it turned out to be a lose connection on the loom/ electrics at the back of the clocks/dials not 100% sure if yours is going to be the same regards ron

the first car i sat my backside into was a ford zodiac mk3 which was my dads love'd that car big bench seats tail fins & all, past my test in that thing since then ive had a few ( jags fords audi merc citroen ) to name a few. and i can still remember the number plate 3717 DP HOW SAD IS THAT

im not butting in or anything but i think your find you cant use the bolts or nuts from alloy wheel to steel or vice a versa that was whai i was told at a tyre centre ??? so double check just to make sure regards ron

hi steve no problem and thankyou

hi robin if the pcd & the width/size & offset is ok then it shouldnt be a problem just make sure of the clearance on the arch regards ron

thankyou kenny for your reply again watch this space regards ron :)

thank you for your reply Andrew watch this space for updates regards ron

hope this post hits all the right members ive been an active events team member for many car clubs for a number of yrs now and would like to do the same here but as with most things in life one can only do it with the help of others so this is where you come in as a member of the club . so do you fancy a day out in your jag, maybe a car show - down to the coast for the day - family picnic day - a dealership day - bar-b-que e.t.c these are just a few things we can do if your willing to put a little time & effort in so what im asking you as a member lets put are heads together over a pint / coffee / soft drink & see what we come up with come & meet up with like minded members remember drive the car not the keyboard & dont forget to post a reply see ya soon ah ron

i willing to set a meet up for members to come along to on afternoon or evening looking at the hampshire / berkshire / oxfordshire borders but need to know where members are coming from to choose the location so its fair for everyone who wishes to attend this type of meet went down very well within the citroen c6 & ds3 club i use to run,(well the southern area section anyway)

im with adrain flux at the moment but when i change over to the jag they want another £143 on top of what im already paying them on a special limited edition 1.6 citroen ds3 but to cancel the policy was £131 best deal i got for the x type was £254 fully comp from hastings with protected no claims. insurance is a minefield these days

it was to get some brownie points off the wife tbh her mum's nickname was kitty plus cat / jag

good morning all even though i have not picked the car up yet i wanted members opinions on the x types chrome badges,mine is a darkish grey MET so was thinking of changing them to gold plated ones. i.e leaping cat & the x type badge on the tail gate to help with the contrasting of the beige interior. has any other members done this and how does it look as i have seen other colored cars with the gold plated badges and some really suit the gold look heres waiting for other members opinions thanks ron
