hi colm, may i suggest that you log on to the x type forum as leo says and read posts that may relate to your issue. i have a 2.0d on a 04 plate. i have removed and cleaned my EGR valve, checked the turbo, along with the actuator, check all mass air sensors, full diagnostic report, air filter replaced, plus i also use an fuel additive, have some patience on this as when i brought my jag it too had some issues, but now all sorted and it runs ACE... good luck ... keep us all posted on your outcome. regards dave.

I have just read that the Government are soon to propose changes to the MOT, increasing the 3 year test for new cars to four years, on the basis that new technology and better quality materials are making it possible to extend the time. The Government introduced the MOT in 1960, and the test was for cars 10 years old, and involved Brakes, Lights and Steering, and was changed to 3 years in 1967, and has, over the years, added many other items. One of the things that some motoring experts have mentioned is that there could be cars on the road with well worn tyres as some cars will be going for their MOT with over 100k miles on the clock.

That's the first sign of a failing battery. Mine was 4 years and 11 months old when I changed it. Everything perfect now even when it is freezing. Peter.
