Hi Dave I bought my Xtype estate in August the seats do go down, although I have not tried to put over sized items in yet. The back goes down but the seat doesn't come up. Over Christmas I know it will happen as it usually does. Hope this helps Andrew

Charlie and Trevor Just been reading your messages I haven't chuckled like this with amusing banter this week, thanks When I was a child back in the 70's it's Friday 5 to 5 and its Cracker Jack good memories Are either of you on the Brighton trip in December, if so look forward to seeing you Andrew

Hi Charlie Down here at our local Esso in Fleet, Hampshire. Petrol is £121.99 and Diesel is £125.99 Andrew

Hi Jack I have an X Type 2007 myself do you have the built in radio, sat nav with touch screen, if so you shouldn't have a problem as I have the I Phone 5S myself. Switch on ignition so the the display lights up but do not start the engine. Once you have entred ##3#*# and Bluetooth is on the phone you should be asked for 1313, you will then have to wait 6 mins before your phone book is down loaded your then be able to switch off. Remember every time you leave your car your phone will still be connected for the next 6 mins anyway. I hope this helps Andrew

Hi Chris Welcome to the club. I too have not been a member that long, only having bought my first Jag last month, a 2007 XType estate Andrew

Hi Peter I played the brabazom myself a few years ago, it was a great experience Andrew

Hi all Due to me being a golf fanatic, I will be glued to the box this weekend. Will try to keep looking at the forum and help any with question arising. Come on Europe Andrew

Hi Dave Just bought my first jag last month, XType estate .2.2 diesel 2007 it's a great drive, your have a lot of fun. Good luck in finding the write one for you Andrew

Hi all, Thanks to all those who have given some friendly advise. Picked up the XType this afternoon from the garage after having the back box replace. To my amazement they told me the told me there was no charge that's right F O C,they found that they back box was making the rattling noise but not the only problem, they found that the previous, had the pads change and they had not put back the retaining spring hence the rattle, they decided not to remove the back box after fitting and said that I could keep the new one fitted. It just goes to show that people do make mistakes and also own up to them. Well the garge I have been using is Halfords auto centre. Just In case anyone doesn't beleive in there brakes for life, that's your life not the cars, as long as you tell them within 2 weeks of changing cars they will transfer to your new car. I will be carrying on using them Thanks again Andrew

Thanks Charlie, I will call him tomorrow and see what happens

He is a small car dealer. But I will be taking advice

Charlie Thanks for that, I already tried before I left the garage. The only good things are the garage has reduced his price to replace the Back box as they felt sorry for me I think, Another good thing they have been servicing my old car and the wife's for the last 3 years. Andrew

High all Just picked up my xtype today after having the n/s damper sorting, or so I thought. It turned out that that though it was not this after all after closer inspection and them test driving the car, the rattling noise is coming from the back, it's the back box on the exhaust. I contacted the dealer to advise him and he told me that this was not covered on the warrenty, I can understand this, but the problem I have is that when I test drove the car the rattle was there and he promised to have it repaired, he then informed me that his mechanic had found a stick/twig had got caught under the car. Not having noticed the rattle straight away due to having the ac on and the hot weather, I never herd the noise again until a couple of weeks later, when I was driving with the windows down. My question really is should he be paying or is it just one of those things and down to me. Look forward to hearing your views Thanks Andrew

Hi Steve Thank you for your reply, as for dates I am clear on all 3 Regards, Andrew

Hi Steve Would love to join in the winter meet Crawley to Brighton. I would like to Join the convoy. 2007 X-Type 2.2 Estate Manual. Will have to confirm numbers nearer the time, but most likely be on my own. Regards Andrew65

Hi All The best I like is its a Jaguar, style, elegance I could keep going, but we all know we they are Jags Andrew

Fleet, Hampshire

Peter Thanks for the advice, my local garage has advised me that both sides should be done at the same time. That have been very good to me for the past 2 years servicing my old car and the wife's 3 pointed star. The only problem is, he is struggling to get a price and availability, so I thought I might send a post to Trevor. (jagslag) seeing that he is a dealer, you know local contacts that might be able to help. I would rather my local garage do as the dealer I purchased from is some distance from me and is unable to loan me a car while the work is being carried out. Thanks again, Andrew Sorry that I couldn't make the motor museum I was already committed that day, should try this again in the future I try to make it.

Hi all , I have had this little annoying rattle recently, so having only bought the car last month I rang the dealer that I purchased it from and he agreed to let me take to my local garage to find the problem. It turns out that the near side front damper needs to be replaced. My question is, is this an expensive repair and is it one of those repairs that both sides should be done at the same time. All your views and ideas very much welcome Thanks Andrew

Hi Robert Welcome to the club, I just joined myself having just bought my first Jag 10 days ago, an x type estate 2.2 diesel. It's a really nice drive, wished I done it some time ago, as my Dad has had about 6 different Jags and has always gone on about them and how good they are. Enjoy your driving. Regards, Andrew
