  1. Hi Walter,

    please don't think I am being unsympathetic to your concerns as worrying about something really isn't worth it, you perhaps should sell the car and move on with something else, however, you say your car has been trouble free, so why worry ? Any issues surley would have presented themselves by now.

    last year I bought my son an immaculate Saab 9-3 ttid4, it was fine until 4 months (came with 3 months warrantee)  had passed and then developed a number of issues that cost me another 3k to keep it on the road, so I guess my message is unreliability can come with any car.

  2. Hello Roger and welcome,

    my first Jaguar was an X type sport estate in black, great car that did 200k when I sold her, I am now on a 2.5. I have loved owning them and they give great service. Couple of pics below and hope you have as much enjoyment as us.

    Regards

  3. Ahh, OK Steve, not what I thought, probably need a poke around to see where it's coming from. Had a similar thing on mine a couple of weeks ago and it was a water pump gasket, fortunately an easy fix.

    hope it's nothing serious.

    Cheers

  4. Hi Marvin,

    yest it is a great service. Had my first Jag from new covered with Jag assist, I was travelling home late one night and had a high speed front blow out on the motorway, I Could not get the wheel off so called them, the guy was with me within half an hour and changed the wheel, he took the blow out to my local dealer the following morning to have a new tyre fitted and I popped in and had it refitted during lunch . Really good and as you say, makes you feel looked after.

    Cheers

  5. Hello Gary and welcome,

    I bought my son a 9-3 TTid4 last year, a great car and as you say "rapid"

    I've got an Xtype 2.5 so not much use as far as Stype advice is concerned, however there are a great bunch of lads on here that can gen you up on advice for the car you are looking for.

    Hope you get the right motor and happy hunting.

    Regards

  6. Sounds great, Peter, has been a lovely day.

    ive mowed the lawns, taken the pooch for a run and assisted the better half with a full house detailing session !

    Going to give Tigger a full body detailing tomorrow weather permitting, along with adding self adhesive velour to internal plastic areas in the cabin.

    Regards

    Hi Andrew, thank you for taking the time to reply, useful video. I am going to give the clay a try tomorrow and will then post my results in a few days time. Yours looks superb & I have always liked the 7 spoke alloys. My car has the sport alloys which where fitted from new with the dove grey interior. From memory the AWD's are a bit heavy on tyres but I recall a great story when I was on business trip in my company 2,5 and was going to Lancashire in the winter of 2002. It snowed like mad for bout 3 hours & the motorway was totally grid locked apart from me in the Jag and a guy in a discovery who couldn't believe it when I followed him up and over a steep hill over the A56. He stopped at the top and asked how the heck had I just done that and was amazed when I told him it was a 4 wheel drive saloon. (A 4 wheel drive that actually works.) 

    Your welcome, Stephen,

    look forward to hearing how you get on, Yes the X type is a great car, I'm on my second and suits us down to the ground.

    Noticed your in Conwy, we frequent the Castle hotel at least once a year, such a picturesque town, just love it.

    Hope all goes well with the clay bar treatment.

    Regards

    Andrew

  8. Hi Stephen,

    recently treated my Jag to its bi annual clay bar treatment. If you clay bar your car, you won't need to use T cut unless it's to remove stubborn scratches and then make sure you give a couple of coats of wax polish and sealer to protect the paint. The Clay bar idea is to remove stubborn gritty surface and restore clear coat to near to original condition

    pic below and link to a great detailer on YouTube, , cheers, Andrew

  9. Agree with Joe & Paul,

    A good auto elec tech will get that sorted in no time, I always think that garages of all types no matter how good they are are a jack of all trades and master of none.

    best of luck, Rich, hope you get it sorted soon.

  10. Hi Matt,

    As Peter says, those are aftermarket wheels, the original wheels of similar appearance were two different types for the X Type, Proteus (5 spoke) and Melbourne (9 spoke) both 18" split type rims. As far as I'm aware, they were only available in silver. I'm pretty certain, the original wheels for the 02 sport were Aguila 17".

    Cheers

    Andrew
