Here's another query from a member - can anyone help? They would like to install a tow bar on an X-Type Estate but a standard one would set off the rear parking sensors.

Can anyone shed any light on a tyre shredding problem a member has? It's the front wheels on a front wheel drive X-Type and they have excessive wear on the inner edge. So bad in fact that the member's wife had to leave the car at the tyre fitters and get a taxi home. The car is low mileage and there...

Hello, I'm Trev, the JEC X-Type Co-ordinator. I have had a suggestion from a member to start building a repair cost database for members to use when estimating costs for services, repairs and modifications. I think it's a great idea and I'd be pleased to hear from anyone who's interested in contribu...

Since Mike Kennedy sent me a link for Adamesh ( http://www.adamesh.co.uk ) I may be changing my mind. I was set to buy a Borla exhaust but the prices at Adamesh are much more affordable. Does anyone know if the Jaguar X Type performance exhaust they have for £299.00 is on a par with a Borla or Arden?

My driver's door had the same problem and WD40 on the door latch fixed it. It's worth a try my handle works like new now. Can't help with the key fob locking I'm afraid...

Very pleased today - the car went through the MOT with only a headlamp bulb required. Paid £59 for the test and bulb and drove it away - one of the least expensive MOT I've had. Pretty good for a 9 year old car? While it was in the garage I was embarrassed by the driver door problem that had recentl...

Thanks Mike, I'm looking forward to it, particularly the track day at Brands hatch! Although I've been a car nut since about 5 years old, never before have I been "into" a car as much as the X-Type - head turning looks, luxury, comfort and power, I love it...

The prices at Adamesh are better than where I've been looking - Borla, Racing Green, Paramount etc. I can look at getting the exhaust and lowering spings all for less than £1000 including the cost of my mechanic fitting them! I'm now the new Co-ordinator for the X-Type forum in the magazine so this ...

I remember admiring your car in the November mag. The leapers would be great for racing though :) I've posted a pic of the whole car here: http://www.tcbravington.co.uk/jag/my_x_type01.jpg I like this colour, my car has no chrome on it at all either, I believe because it is a sport spec model. I rec...

Thanks Mike, I'm not sure what MDZ is though? Are there pictures of your car anywhere?

Thought I'd put up a pic of my X-Type after a mesh grill upgrade I performed. I also added a subtle 3.0 badge: http://www.tcbravington.co.uk/jag/grillandbadge.jpg It's a shame about the rain on the day I took the pics (they are rain drips along the bottom of the grill) but for £40 from eBay and abou...

I've had my X-Type a while now and I'm still curious as to what type the wheels are. There's a picture here: http://www.tcbravington.co.uk/jag/wheel.jpg They have Jaguar centre caps and maybe they're from an XKR. They seem to be quite rare and a lot of people comment on how nice they are. 18" with 2...

I'd like to lower my 3.0 Sport and have seen springs for sale which will do it by 25mm, 35mm etc. Does anyone know how much my car can be lowered, considering it has wide 18" wheels and 225 40 18 tyres? There's a picture of the car here if it helps: http://www.tcbravington.co.uk/jag/x_type_3_0_sport...
