looks like its over

[lee1971]

After 18 months of happy jaguar ownership . the glory days look like they are over. 2 weeks ago my X-Type started missfiring and runing rough . It was discovered that 2 coil packs had failed and all my sparkplugs had to be replaced ( they hadnt been in 12mths ) due to water having got in...With the service the bill was a Reasonable £400. i had the car back a day and half and on my way home from work down the M6 on Saturday night the Engine MAnagement light came on again and the car started runing rough again . It again this morning went back into the Specialist. The car has now left me stranded for work on Wednesday......Unfortunatly as soon as i get it back it is going in Part Ex change for something else ( at the moment either a BMW 5 serise or 3series estate.) . It is the first Jag i have owned though i doubt it will be the last , the problems have put me off a bit esspecially as talking to another Jag owner yesterday he told me he used to own a 2.0 V6 X-Type that devolped the same problems that mine has had and in the end it cost a fortune to put right ( he part ex,d it for a new XF ).
