x type

Hi I have a 2006 X Type 2 Litre Diesel Jaguar. My problem is that during the very hot weather over the last few days when the car has been standing on the driveway in the sun for a number of hours it refuses to start. The battery is fairly new and all the dash lights come on but when I turn the...

For a racing formula that never actually launched in UK.

Being the numbskull that I am, I seem to have misplaced my locking wheelnut key. Misplaced in this context meaning "I left it on the wheel and drove off". I have another on the way, but could take a while to arrive, Might be a stab in the dark but if anybody around Swansea has said key, I'd be...

Hello I own a 2009 x type estate 2.2 diesel Sport premium. I hit a deer the other day and if I can repair it myself I won’t have to let it be written off. The help I need concerns how the slam panel is attached to the car, welded or other method. What sort of job would it be. Would it need any...

Hi all. I have a 2009 x type 2.2 diesel. The battery warning light every now and again will flash then I can go a few weeks without it coming on at all. I've checked the battery and alternator and they both seem fine. Got good voltage. I've read it could be a problem the positive cable running...

For the diesel engine the Haynes manual suggest a home-made tool which will engage with the belt tensioner to enable you to release the tension. After a nasty rubber-burning smell, followed by total disintegration of the belt, a replacement became a bit urgent! So, I made the tool as suggested...

Fuel gauge problem. Hi all I have a 2009 x type 2.2 diesel. When I fill up with diesel the fuel gauge takes ages to go up. (About 15-20 min) it seems to go down normally. Also noticed the trip computer also takes ages to update how many miles are left with amount of fuel. Would this be a problem...

Hi, The front O/S wheel bearing collapsed suddenly and checking online it didn't seem a major job, especially as a friend said I could use his press to get the old bearing out and push the new bearing in so I decided to do it on my driveway, but I'm having a nightmare getting the bottom ball...

The old Jag stereo that was in my car when I bought her a few years back, was great, but the CD player never worked. What I decided to do, was install another stereo instead, and bring my X Type, at least a bit more up to date. What I installled, was a Chinese import 2Din Android touch screen...

Hello all! I've got a 2.0D Estate from 2005 which I think is a great car painted black and the previous owner sprayed the wheels black too so it's got a bit of a sporty look to it. Now the car has had some work done to it in the last 6 months, mostly under my ownership the last owner was...

So I am 16 and just bought a jaguar x type a few months ago. It drives great, and I really love how it looks. Everything had been fine until my car started to rev randomly in the middle of my driving. I found out that a rat had chewed through my MAP sensor. I have tried really hard and have...

If it's been raining, and the next morning I go to open the boot on my x type estate, I'm always greeted with a niagra-type water display, running from the tailgate, and onto the car (and invariably into the boot). Is this a common issue? Or are there some drain holes that I should aim to clean...
