Hi Shaun I keep thinking about your problem and I seem to remember years ago but on a different make of car we had a noise simular to yours --after trying everything possible it was found to be the prop-shaft U/J was seizing and making the centre bearing -[ a bit dodgy ] make the noise .??? I suppose its been checked but its just a thought .??? Frank

Hi David I checked and cannot find the hub nut size I will try again "BUT" you do know that after you have removed a hub nut you should always replace it with a new one because it dosn't lock properly the 2nd time .????? New bearing ---New lock nut .??? Good luck Frank

Hi Colin I run a check on your problem and come up with this------ About the only thing that will cause a cruise control fault is a loose vacuum hose ussually on the breather hose coming from the valve cover in front to the throttle body. So I feel thats the first thing to check .good luck. Frank

Hi Martin What wheel was the sensor you replaced on because I had a very simular fault and it was the wire that go's from the sensor to just under the wing --about £4 from E-bay-- that was the problem .??? Frank

Hi Andrew A battery thats loosing its charge after just standing a week sounds as though it needs replacing .?? I'm saying that because things do start to shut down on a Jaguar if the battery is faulty and if you replace it make sure to get the correct size for the car .?? I think you will find the misfire will be a plug so if you do check them I would fit new to make sure.?? Peter has a S Type and will pehaps have a better answer for you.?? All the best with it. Frank

Works OK for me Ken?? Frank

Hi David Could be the drive belt slipping at the front of the engine so I would check that first as it drives the power steering pump.??? It has a automatic tensioner so it may need a new belt .??? Frank
-
Hi David This is just my opinion--I think it would down rate your fuel and cause it to smoke so I would not use it . Frank

Hi Rod I also own a 02 X Type and I had to have my sills done Its not a cheap thing but I did save by buying the new sills from eBay and the garage I bought it from done the job and helped a little with the bill -so good luck on that . Frank -

Hi Darryl Sorry to hear that it did'nt cure things --The next thing I think you should check is all Earth wires .??? Because a bad earth could be the problem .?? I would also try to find out which relay is clicking because that is perhaps faulty or has a loose wire.??? Frank
-
Yes Ron I agree that would look good and a better way. Frank

Hi Darryl It sounds to me that your battery is about to go --A Jaguar starts to shut things down to save the charge to start the engine ,so first thing I would do is to get it checked. I had a problem for a week with door lock and lights coming on at odd times then one morning no start ==Battery dead== Fitted new and everything perfect.?? Frank

Hi Paul . A really nice looking X Type you have there. Your problem could be as easy as a plug or plugs breaking down and I think that and the fuel and air filters are the first things I would check.???? Frank -
