Good pics Adam. Showing all the signs of being a 2.5SE which, according to my equipment list, shows rear parking assist as standard but power foldback mirrors only as optional. As for the wiring at your fingertips I'm not your man for that stuff I'm afraid, however interesting it looks! Let's hope an expert sees your post and can help out.
Have a Happy Easter, Rowley
Hi Rowley,
Thank you for your help.
Happy Easter for you,
Adam

Hi Adam,
My Jaguar knowledge is limited compared to Old Peter but I’ve really enjoying the passed 16 months of my X type ownership. That said I too am surprised that you don’t have rear parking assist as standard (I thought only front parking assist was optional). Your photo looks to be of an SE with cayman 17” forged alloys maybe around 2005/6? Electric retracting rear view mirrors I also thought to be standard for that vehicle. Photos of the rear and of your driver’s armrest controls would help determine your standard fits. Enjoy the Jagfun.
Best,
Rowley
Hi Rowley,
Below are photos of the back of my car, armrest and socket I found in the booth which seems like the socket to plug in parking aid into it.

Hi Ian,
I've tried all sorts of (so called Jaguar over mats) and none of them come up to the mark, just spent £75 on a new set of original Jaguar mats for the X type auto and they fit exactly and are a deep lush pile, sadly, I think you will have to part with the hard earned to get what your looking for.
Cheers

Hi Tigger,
Can you tell me please where from you bought those mats, as I am about to buy a whole beige set soon.
Thx

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.

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

Good morning gentleman,
Thank you very much for your help so far. I definitely will contact insurance company by phone to get better price as for now minimum I get is 1400 :( Well first time is always hard :)
About dashcam, I was about to fit it anyway just for peace of mind.
Let's move on to details now. I've got few cars on my list and I would be more than grateful for your opinion about them:
Pros: new and black :)
Cons: mileage and road tax
Pros and cons like above
Pros and cons like above
Pros: low mileage
Cons: age and colour, but I can live with it :)
Pros: acceptable mileage and good price
Cons: colour but I can live with it
This is my favourite so far.
Any comments are welcome gentleman.
Thank you in advance.

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

I've got one as well. Security issue for sure. Luckily I did not click on any of the links.
Stay away from those links guys. No matter how sexy the link looks like 😉
