New X-Type owner says Hi and Help!

[ArchieGlover]

Hi everyone, i have just bought an 02 reg X-Type, my second such car. No manual, as seems to be the norm these days, so does anyone know why, after about 30 seconds of travel, an alarm/the horn briefly sounds for no apparent reason.

It keeps scaring me to death!

Welcome to the Club, Paul.

 

It must be electrical so the first thing I would do is to check the connections to the horns.  Getting the WD40 out could be a good idea, and much gentler than the lump hammer.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Oh I don't know Peter, seems to work for moi haha.

 

Welcome along Paul old bean, a Yorkshireman aswell, good man...

Hope you enjoy the JOC, I'm getting used to em bit by bit, and they seem a good bunch so far!!!

 

As for the alarm thingy going off, i ain't got a clue my good man (nowt like being honest)

 

cheers,

Bryn. . .

Hi Paul,

 

I think you can download an owners manual from the internet for nowt.  Just Google Jaguar x type owners manual.
