Hello to all well after growing up with a jaguar fanatic i thought it was about time i got one of my own . So when a friends dad decided he was going to let one go i snapped it up . I am now the proud owner of a 2005 2l diesel X-Type. Its not a v12 monster that i grew up around but its mine and i love it.

Hi all, I went for the Winrun R330's yesterday and I must say that my initial feedback is very positive. Before committing I spoke to the supplier a couple of times, and I was pleasantly surprised that on arrival it was a decent modern outfit with smart new kit and helpful staff. Final sign off involved a good look at the tyres before fitting and they seemed great, close to a Pzero sidewall and tread pattern but c1/3 the price! All in including; valve, balance, rim sealer and fitting I paid £216 for the complete set of 4! Which I am stunned by for a tyre of this size and performance, who said running a Jag was expensive! On the road the car seems transformed, I've only done 30 miles or so, and I take it (relatively) easy for the 1st 1K or so with new tyres in any case, but they seem composed, predictable and grippy, which is as much as I can really ask for . I'll inform if anything comes up to change my opinion, but at present it's a big thumbs up to the Winrun R330 and to EcoTyres in Southampton who supplied and fitted them . Cheers, Russ

I wonder if I fitted one it would mute the wife

Surely if you change with Jaguar wheels which could have been specified when new, ie, I have Tritons on mine and Mercury's were also an option available, that shouldn't affect the premium. I was never asked what alloys were fitted when I insured mine.

Hi all,Well I have got round to fitting my 18" Mercury's alloys -I think they suit it well with the lowered suspension.What do you think?

It is true they are designed to run on 95 RON. Mine isn't new though and over 10 years old with over 100K on the clock, so I use the premium fuel to keep the performance up where it should be and keep down carbon deposits etc. I think it would be even more appropriate for the supercharged higher performance versions. I also use Wynns injector cleaner every few thousand miles. I find the following is a good read. http://www.caranddriver.com/features/regular-or-premium Geoff

Here is my Ruby.........

Hi chaps, I have just bought my 2006 S-Type R and I must say that she is everything that I expected so this being my second post on the forum I thought that I would show her off a little. Thanks Escortmad for starting this thread. So here is my pride and joy.

My 2.5 V6 S type. Had it 2 weeks, nice smooth ride.

Here is a couple of shots of my s type. I must take some new photos as it now has yellow wheel centre caps, and I've had the reflectors tinted. Hope you like the photos. Andy
