There isn't a production X type R. The r on the back of an S type, XJ or XK means they are fitted with a super charger. The R on the back of an X type means some ones stuck a badge on it.

should have added. the x-type was the entry level "basic" jaguar. or "baby"jaguar. then the s-type "middle of the range" jaguar. the xk8 "sports job" the xj "flagship model" that was the "old range" the new boys are jaguar xe (baby) xf (toddler) f-type (sports job) xj "flagship" ITS GOOD TO BE BACK

Hello Fellrunner. I think basically somebody bought the wrong car so they stuck the R badge on to make themselves feel better. It would have been far less embarrassing to just by an S Type R, that is going to be my treat next year ;)! Hope that helps. John.

Hello Ken. Yes it is indeed a Mondeo engine, and also a transit engine they used from the year 2000 until present. They are still putting this engine in the new Transits so it cant be bad. They call it the Duratorq zsd-422 and used it for the top-of-the-range versions of the Mondeo and X-Type. Great solid engine. I have a 2.2 Diesel X-type myself and couldnt care less that the engine is ford. The car looks great, has all the Jaguar bells and whistles, drives and looks like a Jaguar, because it is a Jaguar. Oh and not to mension that the thing pulls like a train! Hope that gives you some more information ammunition that you were looking for haha. Take care and enjoy. John.

Hi guys! Cheers for the reply Des. It did turn out that it was the Camshaft Sensor. An £18 fix to what could have potentially been a very expensive bill is a huge relief! Thanks for the help.

Why oh why can I only click like once^^^^^^^^^^^

Dinkydimps, think outside the box. Car due for mot. will fail due to hole in exhaust. Get twin pipe fitted. She'll never know the difference -_- ;) :D

Hi Benj, i'm not sure if this helps you or not but in the past I've had crankshaft sensor issues on a petrol corsa and a hyundai elantra diesel both cut out ( the Hyundai on motorway ) but would restart after a certain amount of time,The hyundai would turn over but seemed like it wasn't getting any fuel but a few hours later started but only ran for around 10 minutes,I had the RAC out and they suggested it could be the air and fuel filters that needed replacing but after I gambled (remembered the corsa problem) and changed the sensor it ran straight away with no further issues.

ive had them on most of my cars all models & makes i've found the best after market ones are helko mainly the two front doors but did fit them to an astra on all four and they seemed fine. Ron
