hello all, i bought a 2005 x type 3.0 with 70,000 miles and have put about 3k more on it since i got it. joined the fourm in hopes of learning more about my car and the issues that may come up like the fact the my a/c just stopped blowing cold air and it seems that the a/c clutch isnt engaging and also a coolant leak that just started.

 

Yup. 10 years old is about the time these things start to pop up.
We have a very active X-type section, someone will be along shortly to direct you there.

thank you all. i was able to diagnose the coolant leak to my water pump starting to fail. bought a new pump for 25.00 usd from ebay and decided to replace the belt with a gates belt (11.18 Amazon) and both throttle body coolant hoses (35.43 amazon)and had it all installed by a mechanic i send a lot of work to for 100.00. I recharged the A/c myself since i work at a body shop and that seemed to fix the problem for now but i have a feeling i will need a compressor soon.in all I spent 171.76usd and my car is running great

 

Good to hear it.

For a Jaguar, you got off very lightly at that total spend!
