sorry joe, still doing the passenger side as ive only done the one side up till now. but I have taken note as to what you have posted and will let you know how it all drives and brakes when all complete, cheers dave.

I got round to fitting new front discs & pads on my x type 2.0d (54 plate) as it was an advisory on the MOT, (inside of discs are ribbed) so after removing wheel and caliper, plus the discs I got down to cleaning the caliper and stripping off rust with my dremel with diamond tip attachments, also with a grinding tool attachment too, which taken hours to do! then a can of brake cleaner, which cleaned off dust. then cans of spray paint to give a nice new look on the calipers... but patience pays off ? then it was on to fitting the new disc and doing a "run out" test with a dial gauge. the max of run out with new disc is 0.15mm...... mine ran out to 0.05mm to 0.08mm and was the same for both sides. happy with the results of the run out test I then started to fit everything back...many other checks were done too, besides of new brake fliud, piston inspection and movement, sleeve seals, and all rubber boots. here are some photos....enjoy :-)

I know how you feel with what you say and car companys just want you to spend spend spend ! I say build the car that is practical in always, my tool kit just gets bigger and heavy. anyway good luck .... hope your next car is as we would say is old school, (easy to work on) dave....

great job looking at the photo, not many of us about as you say? as I'm doing my front brakes even now with new vented discs and new pads to fit but this is all ive done so far (pic) as my caliper is still attached. this is drivers side ,hope to get the caliper to look the same painted. will post more photos when done. good luck with fitting yours when it comes to installing them. dave.

from the base of dipstick it measures 22" max 23"min hope this helps .....dave

dave , sorry to read your post and can not shed any light as what the problem can be ? hope you get this issue sorted and look forward to reading what the outcome turns out to be ! good luck, ..... dave

as it says reprogram the injectors with all codes using a computer that links up to the ecm.

FuelInjectors The fuel injectors are operated electrically by the engine control module (ECM) and inject a precise amount of fuel into the combustion chamber at the required time. The injectors have been designed to: allow pilot and main injections with short intervals between each injection. be fully electrically controlled. Each injector is calibrated and given its own unique identification number at manufacture. The identification number is a set of letters and numbers located near to the top of the injector. CAUTION: If any of the high pressure fuel pipe retaining nuts are loosened, the high pressure fuel pipe it is installed to must be renewed. Failure to follow this instruction may allow metal fragments to enter the fuel system and result in damage to the fuel system components. When the injectors are fitted to an engine, the injector identification number and the cylinder number to which it is installed must be programmed into the ECM. This gives the ECM a base calibration for each cylinder of the engine, as the vehicle is run the ECM will adapt from this calibration. If any of the injectors are replaced the ECM will have to be reprogrammed with all of the injector identification numbers and cylinder number to which each is fitted. hope this has helps.....dave

had a slow o/s front puncture so out came the car pump to get its correct psi, and then off to get it fixed. but when checking the n/s rear wheel the brass outer thread on the valve had broke just leaving the inner valve sticking out. off to a tyre place asap, well the guys where great and fitted a new valve on the rear wheel and balanced, along with taking the front tyre off and checking tyre wall and wheel rim but found no problems? so new valve fitted and tyre replaced along with both front wheels being balanced. total cost £15 what a great deal and a good job done as all wheels are now fine.

on my x type I needed a scuttle clip x2 found a jaguar breakers who where local in my area, drive out to visit them and to my astonishment i came away with x2 clips that did not cost me a penny!

dean,.. sounds like this car has not had much TLC but if you read through some of the previous posts on the X TYPE SITE you may get help from reading there experiences ? it does help putting you in the right direction as to how it may help. good luck with the repairs....dave

this is nothing to worry about, as this is the in cabin "ambient air temperature sensor" if you look at the steering wheel in your car, you should notice a very small vent about 1" square? this is the sensor. I sometimes blow it through with a can of "air duster" which you use on a computer keyboard,

hi Richard, same colour as mine and ive had mine now nearly 6yrs, going to put these new discs and pads (front & rear) on around may time. done some work on mine too. but I do love my jag...

all i can say ! ! ( what a bodge repair,) as joe says it can also be dangerous. get this repair done, so its made safe...

Electronic Turbo Actuator for Jaguar X Type. look this up on ebay and read what it says. it may help ? giving you more understanding of what it may be. ! as you may not need a new turbo, because usually when a turbo goes it smokes like a chimney, then take the car to someone who specialise in auto gearboxes, they should also know what the cause is due to gearbox fault.

if this is still giving you problems and you feel that what ever path you try nothing seems to work! get a auto electrician who will go through your car testing it from the ignition right through until they find what is the cause.

joe, watched with great interest ! makes sense to always check the oil levels. good one joe to post this... many thanks, dave.

another possibility maybe the stabilizer bar d bushes or stabilizer link bar ? suspension[Converted].xps

please read this post as it may help,? ( look in the x type forum) Unable to open the boot Started by Ephriam, September 27, 2015

hi colm, may i suggest that you log on to the x type forum as leo says and read posts that may relate to your issue. i have a 2.0d on a 04 plate. i have removed and cleaned my EGR valve, checked the turbo, along with the actuator, check all mass air sensors, full diagnostic report, air filter replaced, plus i also use an fuel additive, have some patience on this as when i brought my jag it too had some issues, but now all sorted and it runs ACE... good luck ... keep us all posted on your outcome. regards dave.

hopefully when you put a code reader on it will flag up the problem ? ... things i would try is good earth points, then battery, fuel pump, starter motor solenoid, knock sensor, power to all glow plugs, all air intake sensors, relays in fuse box, good luck....dave.

here is some pics on the x type, where the scuttle sits and air pollen filter, (but if blocked can cause water ingress ) plus drain hole which is both sides. when i removed my inner wheel liner i found a piece of foam stuck up that was blocking the drain hole, so that was removed... and where you see the grey tape there was a hole,,,but now has a rubber grommet in place. lucky for me i have dealt with this issue and have no problems.

just a thought andy if you want to try,? get one from a scrap yard plug it in and see what it does. plus me being me i would also take it apart to see how its put together. hope you get it sorted out, best of luck dave....
