Can anyone tell me how to adjust my handbrake it's on a 54 plate x type

Just drove to Newcastle and back over 400 miles temp gauge all most got quarter way 

I know it's not a jaguar but I do think a clean engine bay looks nice

Okay new expansion tank cap changed temp gauge still hardly moving not getting out of the blue, what else can I check, thanks 

Thanks that would be helpful, I've just ordered a new expansion tank cap as I've been told it could be that I'll let you know if that works,car's don't you just love them 

No mate the fans are not running, and you must be a mind reader  as I'm looking for  a new cap when I got your reply 

finally got the thermostat changed no different still running cold the heater gets hot for a short time and then cools down, the water in the expansion tank feels warm does not get hot

any ideas please

so give the A/C a go today just to see if it worked and it did any idea wont went wrong 

many thanks

Thanks Kenny, I had a feeling that was the problem, I do get some heat from the heaters but only for about 5 to 10 minuets then it goes cool.

Will I have to drain the cooling system or is there a way round it and where the hell is the thermostat if you can give me some hints I would appreciate

how high does a temp gauge go, mine is hardly reaching 1/4 way

Thanks Kenny for your replay

Got a 04 x type diesel 2.0 green cream leather upholstery yes i know thats real no help but i just like saying it.

Ok last 2 or 3 days setting heater at about 22 it has worked ok nice and worm and then it starts blowing cool, i dont have the A/C on as it needs charging so its not on auto as recomended. If i do alter the temp it will warm up again and then cool again 

hope you can help thanks Brian

noticed today when I set the heater after 5 to 10 minuits it cools down any help please

any idea on how to remove cracks in leather I have cream leather so looks bad

thats great i think the shelf has the grils in it, the loom sounds it may be a pain if i have to run it the length of the car, i take it that it will need to connect it to the back of the head unit, will have to think about it, is there a way to get to the back of the head unit without removing it. 

thanks for the help

no, no and no oh!!! thanks mate

i have heard some x types are 4 wheel drive how would i find out if mine is

i have know idear,one thing i have noticed is the rev counter twitches when you turn the air con on and off so i presume somthing is working

had my x type a month or so and the air con was working fine, but now it does not get cold, has something gone wrong or is it just me setting it incorectly 

you can get a unit that plugs in to the disc changer plug makes the cd thinks your ipod is a cd changer, got them on eBay
