[align=left]I´m Martin from Europe and I drive a Jaguar X-Type 2.0 Diesel Estate Sport Modell 08/2004 until 12/2005.
I bought the car with 8300km, half and a year old (1 1/2). Now it has extremly lucky 42200km.
I´m very happy with my Jaguar because it´s possible for me to correct little mistakes without mechanics.
Bosch Brakes should be cleaned in detail and need a little bit special brakes-fat.
Electric contacts can do it saver with contact-spray and oxidated screws ... I like to replace with oxidation-free material.
Engine & Gearbox is good stuff, but can do it better with Slick50 Additive which are for the 2.0D with no drouble. Push 10% more power into the engine and also into the gearbox. It makes the Diesel-Jag a real sportscar.
If you have a dense-wrestle-leak use www.lecwec.de . It push the material 3% bigger and makes it soft & like new.

Best wishes

Welcome Martin! How's the ol' transfer case holding up? You guys in Europe get different parts besides the engine...like the transmission and transfer case?

All the best Jag711

Welcome! Although the size of our diesels are quite different im sure you love yours for the same reasons i love mine

 

[align=left]Hello h20boy, JimC64, bmw745... and that I forgot

h20boy: My dealer told me, that all Jaguars worldwide have the same engine´s because it´s a cost related problem for a small luxury car builder like Jaguar to build for different regions a lot of engine modells. This way, all Jaguar worldwide have strong US-emission standards.
My diesel is from Ford-Peugout-Citroen Cooperation - PSA. See the link some posts before.

JimC64: Thanks. I hope that I learn English - both the exclusive Britisch and also the expressive US.
I´m not used to speak English and my knowledge is from Websites, Instruction manuals and movies.
I hope you can laugh sometimes about my mistakes.

bmw745....: Nice family at the picture.
I bought a Jaguar because the knowledge about many car producer, specially the German one´s, made me sure that with Jaguar I will have the lowest costs with AfterSalesBusiness but the greatest quality (for Jaguar parts, not for some Ford parts). I have had before a Ford with 320000km and the first engine that lost no oil while running also at the end. I want a Ford engine again and the Jaguar 2.0Diesel has a Ford engine & gearbox. What better could I do than buying a Jaguar X-Type 2.0 Diesel.
X-Type 2.0D Diesel engine has a lot of power and 330Nm torque. That´s a lot more than the 2.5, 3.0 engines have. But 2.0D is less fast with 210Km/h max. but Germany is a small ****-happening country... and it´s fast enough for a car that should not be a sports car. 6-8 Liter Diesel for 100km is very good and payable at Germany. We have 83 Cent additional tax at our gas and 1 Liter costs beetween 1.20-1.50Euro (1.50$-1.88$ for on Liter, 7.31$ per US Gallon (1 Gallon=3.89 Liter). Exchange rate today 1.25$ per Euro.

Accelerate up a hill I have with 2.0 Diesel it is no problem to stay position short behind a powerfull Mercedes 500 SL for 1-2 kilometers. But the Mercedes at a plan street is much faster at the long run.
