Skelly

Hi Peter.Thanks for that see you on the day.regards Paul

Yes, Peter that can happen,it will still be good with half that number,see you there mate, Did we come to a time to meet there,i think ten was mentioned is that a firm time?or are we waiting until a bit nearer the date.

Great numbers, it will nice to see that many Jags in one area,lets push for forty,thats one hell of a turn out for any club,.theres lots of members looking forward to it.it makes you think what other club events could be made for the future with that interest, see you all soon.

Hi Peter,Theres been a good response so far what do you think the possible number going now?

Further to this sensor episode at last we have some information,it would appear that the sensor which have been in question are-Bank 1 sensor 1 and bank one sensor 2,but just to throw a spanner in the works,as far as i can remember i was told that when i had a twin sports exhaust fitted that this would do this,there is no drop in performance i had it up to 110 mph the other day with much more left.any ideas or change them and suck it and see?

Ok,there might be more truth in that statement than you think,there"s been quiet a few unanswered question that are gentle left and moved on to another planet,ive just spoke to them again and the bloke who answered the phone even thought it was odd that the fault codes were not recorded on the bill,only wide band sensors failed,also the garage gentleman said i might have to bring the car back to do it again,to which i said have a got to pay again?to which i was told he might have written it down somewhere,i am a bit concerned now that the other jobs were carried out,gear box,brake fluids changed,drain and flush the coolant,it might be easier if i go up to Mark in Leeds and take up his offer,

Thats a great help and i will probably take you up on that if i can get the full details,i will see him tomorrow,the bill he gave me just said two wide range sensors,thats what made me think,i will put the code details up on here it could help someone else with the same fault codes,like Peter said thats seem a very fair price,can you let me know your location and we can sort out a visit,

Hello Peter,They seemed to keep the codes close to their chest,i will go down and see them and see if they will pass them on to me i did pay for them,i will look into a code reader for my self,i dont have a problem paying for the job it just seemed very high for that type of job,thanks for you help.

Hi.I could do with a little advice,i had my engine warning light came on so i found a garage with the correct gear to read the computer faults,after emptying my wallet they informed me that i had two of four oxygen sensors faulty,as i always get the faults repaired asap i asked for a quote but when they said £300.00 i thought that it was a bit pricey,i can not check them or get near to the problem as i am now disabled so i am reliant on garages being honest,would anyone have a clue if this sounds right,this is not a main dealer i think, because i am a ex forces i tend to trust to quickly,thanks for any help.the said these were i think Wide range oxygen sensors?

Hello,Its great to see club members getting involved,after leaving the forces i have found a fair few clubs try to arrange club functions and when the time comes to show up theres a sudden lack of interest,it is nice to see some commitment,i am disabled now and can not manage many club activities but my one passion is Jaguars and i dont have to walk far, great,see you all in September. :)

I am up for it as well, :)

No worries i get up that way some Sundays,we will have to meet up some day,have you seen that run in Sept,i am going down may be if your going we could meet on route.

Hi all,I will make a date to meet up and meet every one,i will bring my x type,

Hi All, i will make this a date,i will bring my x type,It will be nice to put faces to names.

Hi buddy,Nice to hear from someone local to me where are you mate,i am down in Burton,let me know could meet up and talk cars,

Hi Sorry my friend i thought you were from a bit nearer me on Burton on Trent,

Hi Pete K Iam up in Stapenhill.where are you mate

Hi mate i am down in the Midlands,i have been looking for members around me too.

Hi mate.i know from living in Plymouth for many years that there is a great second hand market there are plenty of second hand dealers on line where you can get the parts to your door step.if it gets you going then you can buy new parts in time,most none dealership garages charge a fair price so it may not be as expensive as you think,we rebuilt an old x type jag and all the parts were from second hand parts bought on line with gaurantes and we are both disabled.

Hi Mine got 117k but ive had it for 6 years the major problem i had for with the two i have had is the sills,and the brake calipers do rust badly and it gets round the piston area and eventually seizes up,i was told that with your year the steel was a better quality,other than that mines sweet,good oil etc,superb car.

I dont know if you got my reply but check anti roll bar,

Hi bud,Welcome I am Skelly in the Midlands,another x type fan.

Hi there.Well mate mines a 2.1 v6 sport and we"ve done 116k and ive just done a 1200 mile trip and it never missed a beat,i had a mot yesterday and i found with mine being a 2002 that that year the sills were bad and mine need to be changed, thats my next project.a mate of mine has a 2003 and his sills are a bit nasty,the only other issues i have come across is calipers,the pistons seem to stick up,and thats all mine has ever had it pulls like a train the oil never gets blackened,and the cooling system does not get dirty.but have a good check of your sills,if thats any help.

Hi, I am new just trying to say hello to everyone but i am crap with a computer,wish my sills were as good as yours were,
