Looking to buy X-Type - need some advice
Hi Peter, thanks for quick answer. I checked this transmitter, but I am looking for something with a better quality of signal FM transmitters are not too god in this matter, but I've got CD changer so I will give it a go and maybe I will stick to it. Reversing kit looks like it is genuine Jaguar parts, I will have a look around forum maybe someone fit it before in his car. Adam

Looking to buy X-Type - need some advice
Hi, First, I am sorry for not giving any sign of life. After my 'Art director in skirt' ;) hasn't approved blue colour of the car and grey leather interior quote: ' I don't want to sit in the shark leather interior' ;) I've decided to wait a bit. And after literally 2 days my patient got awarded with this classic beauty. The sweet spot of my dream about Jag, racing green and cream leather interior. OMG, why no one hasn't told me that to drive it is like to be in heaven ! :))) Anyway, thank you very much, gentleman, for your advice. Now I prepared a list of things I wish/need to do tweak. 1. I was thinking to add electric folded mirrors, but after I checked today how much they folding manually, I am not so convicted anymore is it worth to do so much effort. 2. Reverse parking aid - must have I bearly see where I am going when I am reversing - bit danger. Is this kit http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/301885154385?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT is any good and does its job ? 3. Before I bought this beauty I though to change cd player for after market one like this one http://www.clarion.com/gb/en/products-personal/audio/CZ703E/hilight/index.html#Fm-1Anchor, but seems that I need to go for double din one like this one http://www.clarion.com/gb/en/products-personal/audio/CX501E/index.html. I am still in doubds as I don't want to ruin view of this classic console, from the other side temptation to have music from my own mobile and possibility to change tracks etc through steering wheel buttons is still quite strong so I am still in doubts. Cheers Adam

Looking to buy X-Type - need some advice
Good evening to all members, I am about to join your team of happy users of this amazing car. But before I will do it, I will need some help from you. I was looking to buy an x-type with less than 60000 miles on the clock, but unfortunately when I checked insurance costs for me, it shows that my budget is too low :( as I am trying to pay off insurance annually, but as this will be my first car in UK, an insurance will cost me a lot. I cannot use any NCB as my last car I owned, was sold many years ago. So I have few questions about X-Types: 1. Is 60000 is kind of magic point after this car will need a lot of costly maintenance jobs? 2. Can I buy newer car, let say from 2006/2007 with 75000 which is cheaper or should I go for 2004/2004 model with 58000 miles? This is my first few concerns, I will be grateful for some advice from more experienced users. Cheers Adam
