Hello all I've just bought my first Jaguar as replacement for a ZT, and after a bit of searching, hopefully I've found the right one for me. I've long hankered after an X-Type, so when this '08 plate 2.0D SE cropped up along with a 5 main dealer services in the history I thought I had better make it mine. Just thought I'd say hi as I was a member of the 75andZT owners club and always found it a useful and friendly source of information or chat, and also take the opportunity to introduce myself and the car to you...

Have a look at this video Steve:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz2yZNqGNqo This isn't precisely the tool I have but it explains the principle.

Welcome to the Club, James. I hope you enjoy the club - I know you will enjoy your Jaguar, great cars. Regards, Peter.

hi steve and russ, , steve the 8 black scrivets along the bottom edge would not unscrew, i levered them out about a millimeter with a flat blade screwdriver, and pulled them out with long nosed pliers, some might be re-usable, but you will need at least 10 new ones to replace some with. when you get these out, release the front mudguard from the arch if fitted as this is part of the cover, and then place a good soft cover or piece of old carpet the full length of the sill cover below it on the deck, because you might snap it in half if it falls, it's very flimsy. pull it outwards towards you from the rear firmly but don't bend it., the clips that hold it on are horizontal, it will slowly snap off along the length. good luck and i hope yours is ok. but i wouldn't bet on it. russ i didn't need the tool as above and no just 2 sets of clips like joe says. good luck.
