Hello

I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area
My Jaguar is a 2005 X-Type Sport.
It has the Alcantara seats and Carbon Fiber dash as well as lots of custom goodies.

I've owned it since 2006. However, its been parked in a garage for the last 4 years. It has 41k miles on it. Everything was tip top when I parked it.
However years of sitting there have taken their toll on the tires and I suspect some gaskets and maybe hoses as well.

I would like to bring this car out of hibernation and joined this forum to seek your advice and knowledge as I revive it.

Are there many do-it-yourself / mechanically inclined members here?
Any maintenance advice on getting this car back on the road?

Thanks in advance for your replies.
