I have a 2.5 petrol automatic X Type 2005 model and has only 29000 miles on the clock. I had a problem with the luggage compartment lock. It would not open. The fault was a wire which was broken at the point just before the wire entered the luggage compartment from inside the vehicle. All it needed was some insulating tape which could have been fitted at the factory during assembly and this would have prevented this happening. That was the easy bit. The major task was getting into the luggage compartment. the only way was to remove the rear seats. I would urge anyone with an X Type to do what I had to do before the problem arises.

 

Welcome to the forum B Jones,

Sorry to hear about your issue with the luggage compartment. The harness breaking at the hinge point is a fault on a number of Jaguar models.
