2nd Jag. First was X type 2.0D Sport, 2003, 150k on the clock. Had that 6 years until last week.
Clutch and flywheel need replacing - with labour that's £1,000.....so no.
So I picked up my mother in laws car, X type 2.0D SE, 2006, 111k on the clock. So from a sporty to a toyed-up-luxury-leather seated job. It has a new clutch and has been regularly serviced. However she is 70 and drives like it. Glowlight plug was on, and it was in limp mode. Once warm, restart the car and all was fine. So clearly it needed a good run, so I drove it home (211 miles) like I stole it in GTA. All clear now, and has been for 4 days.
Previous car was faultless until the clutch/flywheel........... so I didn't learn much about it! Only found out yesterday (On here from user Thermo) that holding the trip button down at start.....puts the Test data on the dash display. So, if anybody has got a full list of the Test data code names and their nominal values I would much appreciate it.

Welcome aboard.

The X Type group should have the info you seek.

 

So, your MIL's Jag only had carbon on the valves. LOL
Great story, and congratulations on your latest Jag.

yes. The way she drives I doubt it's been past 3000 rpm.
I almost red lined it a few times in 2nd gear, buried the neighbourhood in a smokescreen. Added system cleaner with a tank fill then drive "inappropriately" for 200 miles. Couple more puffs of smoke on that trip. She's fine. Lol.
