Hi Paul I found someone who had the same problem with a X Type and here's what he said :- Dashboard rattle I had the same rattle on my x type and it turned out to be the vents on top near the screen.i just put a couple of spots of superglue on mine and this cured the problem. ????? Frank

Hi Phil Welcome to the club I think you will find us all nice and friendly and very helpful so enjoy. Frank

Hi Gary This is how my locking system works==== From all doors locked when parked. The fob. 1 press on the unlock button and the drivers door unlocks . 2nd press the passenger door unlocks 3rd press and all doors + boot unlock. Boot can be unlocked on its own with the bottom right hand button. when everyones in and you drive away at about 5 mph all doors lock on there own to stop any one getting in. When you stop the drivers and pasengers door will open from the inside once they have been opened the other doors and boot can be opened. When parked -to lock all doors+ boot - press red button -Top Left once . If you press something wrong the alarm will go off if you do get the key in the ignition as soon as possible to stop it > ??? :D :D Frank

Hi Steve, Like Ken said I would'nt think its the battery because it turned it over OK .??? It sound's as though water has got in some where or is it a fuel problem ???? And it took time to get the fuel up ==Did you run the fuel low before refilling the tank.??? Fuel filter,??? Frank

I with you on this one "Geat idea" . Frank

Hi Barry --Welcome to the club --really pleased to hear of your recovery and wish you all the best for the future , I own a X type but there's lots of S Type owners in the club and we are all a very freindly bunch so I'm sure you will enjoy being one of the gang .?? Frank

Hi David ---Welcome---Your problem could be quite a few different things == The first things I would check is the fluid is it a dirty brown ??? If your car has high mileage it would be wise to change the oil.??? Check fluid hoses for bent or damages.??? Is the Drive belt worn or loose .?? Worn steering or suspension joints.??? Has the system got air in it and needs bleeding??? To bleed ==With the front wheels in the strait -ahead position top up the fluid level start the engine then bleed the system by slowly turning the steering wheel from side to side [all the way] a few times --then check the fluid level again as before .??? These are the things that I would do first before thinking of perhaps a new pump.??? Frank

Really pleased to hear the good news lets hope she dislikes the doctors!!! and you keep a eye on your battery and if need be fit a new one ??? ------I had alsorts of trouble and I kept charging my battery up in the end it failed altogether I fitted a new one and everything worked great ??? Frank

Welcome back Phil the S type sounds good and I hope everything is to your liking let us know how you get on with it ,??? Frank

It seems that with everything today people want to rip you off because with the highest price it dosn't mean you get a better job --its nearly always the cheaper fairer one thats better now . Frank

Hi Mike, Sorry to hear of your problem and this may sound silly but are you sure your battery is 100% because you will find that thing's go all any how when you have a battery issue.???? Frank

Great news Kenny --" Enjoy " Frank

Hi Yuri.. and welcome to the club. We all proud of the Jaguar so you are in the right groupe . Frank

Hi Gary-- she looks in great condition and I like the colour + low milage I would say that points to a careful owner in the past so I wish you happy motoring I love my X Type and I'm sure you will your's. Frank

Hi Bob I found this from another X Type owner so I'm thinking it may help you ???? He had a similar problem, where the microswitch in the rear door lock was intermittantly failing. The interior lights would come on while driving and you got a door open message in the dash. If the switch failed while the car was locked, the alarm would go off. Ended up replacing the whole lock assembly, because the switch is integral to the lock assembly. Also found lock assembly on ebay £20or £30 if needed.??? Frank

Hi Gary I'm sorry to see that you are upset with us and i will apologize because I didnt see your post asking for help on your MPG , Ive never worked my mph out so cannot give you a true answer but I'm sure there is someone that can .??? given time . Frank

I'm in agreement with Kenny ,I know Turtle wax is hard work but I think its worth the effort it seems to last longer.??? Frank

Hi Brian I worked in my garage for many years and a deformed tyre was due to a rubish tyre not the car if its a worn deformity thats the car .???? Frank
