Hello all, first time Jaguar owner!

[Jaguar1922]

Hi all!
I bought my first ever Jag today after dreaming of owning one since I was a kid. 

I bought a very tidy 2006 2.2l diesel X Type that has done 72k miles with full service history!
Very excited to be apart of this community!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

 

It's an absolute joy to drive, it'll make my motorway commutes a lot more comfortable thats for sure 🙂

I have a question or two:

Q1) Regarding the memory seats, are they supposed to drop and move back when you exit the vehicle?

Mine stays where I set the position to - no big deal if this is how its supposed to be 🙂

Q2) Was driving a long today and noticed my right side speakers in the car stopped working 😞 What am I to look for? It's the premium Alpine system and would love to keep it genuine

Hi, Jamie. Congrats. 
 

I bought an S Type a couple of weeks back. I gave her a full service and am really enjoying the ride. 
 

I had the same entry/exit issues, that I managed to solve. I also managed to fix the frozen wing mirrors with a little lube and perseverance. Basically, unless it’s a bigger issue, the way to fix the auto seat and steering column function is to play around with it. Put it on “Auto” and then move the column a bit, then press the preset to reset it; turn the ignition on and off; open the door, close the door, etc. Can’t remember the exact sequence, but it’s not important. Just mess around with it.

Regarding the speaker issue: once again, assume it’s not serious. You could disconnect and reconnect the battery, mess around with the speaker controls, check fuses, etc. If this doesn’t work, you may have to remove the door panel and replace the speaker. Just persevere, Jamie.
 

Hope that helps. 

All the best

Marty

Ah the entry exit stuff isn't a thing on the X, nor is the electric steering column adjustment - thinking I maybe imagined the seat moving when I got out ha

In regards to the speaker issue, I tried unplugging all the cables and replugging as I found on here as a suggestion to no avail. 

 

So I tried out an amp I picked up for £60, nope same deal. So I moved onto taking door cards off and broke some clips in the process 🙃. Turns out yep, speakers blown. So I need to see if they can be fixed or replace them.

 

In other news, I've took the car over its first 1000 miles since coming into my care and she's not missed a beat! We've renamed her to Judy but stuck with Jaggy Chan as her nickname.

 

I think Judy is gonna stay with me for a long, long time. Genuinely love this car and whatever it needs, it'll be lavished with it.
