    Hi all , anyone got any info on this problem ? Been told it’s common on the x type , they rust from the inside. Should I tackle it where it’s creeping onto the bonnet or is it best left as there’s not much you can do to stop it . Is the only long term answer a bonnet off a newer model and then a...

    I've done some research into why my music volume keeps slightly dipping/increasing, and a lot of people say this is a built-in feature so that the music drowns out any undesirable sounds of the engine. As a result, the music gets louder or quieter on its own, and while I appreciate the courtesy...

    Hello all, I’ve recently bought a Jaguar X type 2.5L manual petrol all wheel drive sport, as I used to have one back in the day. It mechanically runs well, is very nice interior and exterior and an overall beautiful car. Sadly however upon recent MOT I discovered that the rear subframe and sills...

    As per title. The noise is connected with rotation only. There are no knocks or clunks (so not CV, by my understanding). It gets faster as I go faster, and so it would seem like bearings, the shafts, or the wheel. I'm sure it is not connected to the brakes as discs and pads were renewed as...

    Hi All, My first day owning a Jag is proving rather stressful.. Having just bought my 2006 X type 2.5 manual, I'm now worried about potential problems. The main one is that pulling away in 1st or 2nd, or changing between these gears, I am getting a knock or jerk from the engine. The dealer...

    Hello members, I don't think one of us has bothered about it or is still puzzling. And I have a question for you who have dealt with the replacement or upgrade of a normal stereo radio for an original radio with navigation. I know and I am aware that the original radio with navigation is...

    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...

    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...

    Hi, I have registered to this site in order to pick the brains of anyone who may be in the know here. I bought myself a 2005 X type 2.0 Diesel in November of last year, for the first 1200 miles it was driving lovely, very smooth, all be it with far less fuel efficiency than would be expected...

    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...

    Hi all Just wondered if anyone has used a electric oil pump to remove oil rather than removing sump plug? To do quick oil changes. I've bought one and put the hose down the dipstick tube but it stops about a inch before the bottom. Does anybody know if the tube can hit anything at bottom of...

    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...
