on the underneath of the plastic sill there are 9 clips which you have to remove, on mine i used a screwdriver so it undone a little bit then pull the clip out very carefully so as not to damage the clip. then open all doors and grab from the top of the sill, and pull towards you...not up and not down. the clips look like what they use in the door cards. i would say there are about 5 clips. hope that helps.

sounds like you have had a good day doing all the things that make it feel positive in what youve done. peter enjoy the rest of your evening :-)

hi bryan, look at my photos in my profile and you can see how my sills were?

if head gasket has gone or leaking? the sign for this is undo the oil filler cap and see if its like a creamy sluge! then that answers your problem :-(

sounds like you are getting there, but still check water pump? also it may need a complete system flush! does them good too, as when was the last time it was done? good luck

steve the main event will be fine, jaguar x type 2.0d many thanks.

start car and let it run, then check expansion bottle for coolant/water, then very very carefully check the coolant hose`s with your hand (if you are confident) be very careful of fans as they may cut in? keep a check on temp gauge in car. if it reads off the scale/red, fans should cut in on the radiator? put car heating on full and feel if it gets red hot! thats a good sign if it does. check for any onboard messages regarding. check coolant levels, check for leaks, if none? this may be sensor or thermostat or electric engine coolant sensor on engine block. all things for you to check first, good luck.

hope to take a trip down, me + one and meet on the sea front, depends on how long it takes to get there? giving the jaguar a blow of the old cobwebs. hope to see a good lot of you :-) lets hope the weather is good to us all that day?

after checking the discs, as joe said check the calipers and that all pistons are moving when very gently applying brakes. if they all move ok, then check all bolts for correct torque/tighten. spin disc and then apply brake and with both hands try to move the disc side to side up/down, if movement when doing this its then wheel bearings. good luck.

cheers andrew, it all makes sense seeing the photos and also how you have explained on the fitting. many thanks for replying,

in the gear box you have solenoids which also operate with speed sensors, if these are not working correctly then this may be your problem? you need to get a garage to link up to your tcm on the auto box, and it may help narrow the issue...

we had a chap at work who was told his turbo was knackered! and would cost over £600 +vat .... but we checked it out with this list and it turned out to be the actuator ! cost of repair £82 and we fitted it in half an hour. guess what though weeks later he sold the car....

andrew love the tint covers...but how do they stay up ? or how do you fit them? so that they dont fall off. also can you get one for the rear. as you say good idea for when its sunny.

very very nice, also what a lovely shine on the bodywork, and in good old british racing green, what a classic colour. your engine bay is perfect too. do you still service the car yourself ? thanks for the pics as i love looking at such great cars.

this is the front bonnet plate catch. its been stripped of old paint and rust treated and now zinc galvanised sprayed. next stag will be primer then gloss black finish. man do i love my jaguar...sweet :-) all work done by myself..

gary.. its a grin that stays on your face for ages. and no doubt yours will be too. happy motoring and enjoy, by the way nice motor.

this topic has given me a lot of thought? with what you first explained, i would link it up to the ( tcm ) tansmission control unit. and see what the diagnostic report says. but the abs light! well thats something else to check too. but with the right diagnostic tool it should flag up what the problem is? looking forward to your reply on when it comes back, as to what it is ? ? ?

Electronic Turbo Actuator for Jaguar X Type. look this up on ebay and read what it says. if this is you then that may be the part you need? best of luck ...

james its nice that you love our jag's but do you know what your insurance will be on a car like this ? as it could cost you more than the car... just a thought. my first car was a right shed, but it helped me build up my insurance.

hi neal, if you now a little about cars this may help? find your turbo which is at the back of the engine close to the firewall. then look at the actuator arm which works by vacum.. there is a lever off the turbo to either a electronic unit, or a metal vacum unit. you must make sure that this is moving when rev-ing the car. if not it may be the problem? in the picture mine is a metal vacum unit with the vacum pipe coming off it. check for splits on the pipe first. remove heat shield cover plate and then check. for movement on the arm as i said early.. good luck.

my insurance quote on my 2.0d x type, with full no claims and protection on a claim is coming out at £143 now i dont know about you but to me thats pretty dam good. wil still shop around and see if i can get better?

hi richard.. i own a 2.0d on a 54 plate, if you do consider on a x type diesel make sure there is no rattle from the daul mass flywheel,( makes a loud thumping noise) also on the test drive press every button going and see if they work ? service history, + stamps. no steering wobble, brake judder when pressing brake pedal, if a noise comes from the left side of the engine it my be crankshaft wheel damper or pulley tensioner, check all sills as the x type does suffer with this problem of rust so be warned to check on this. best return of miles per gallon on mine is 49mpg. also the drivers seat wears bad in the bottom corner with wear and tear. any more info i will try and help.( but i do love my car :-)
