Default hiya folks

just a quick hi from a recent 1st time jag owner
I hail from central england and with the rising fuel costs of my 316 bmw(hey was a good car that i got cheap off the inlaws, so plz don't hold it against me) i decided it was time to get a diesl car, after looking at a few motors i came across a black 2005 x-type sports turbo diesl estate for the right price and fell in love with it, after researching the the cars details, fuel economy etc and being really suprised by what i found i rushed back and brought her.
The car has been really great for what i needed, cheap fuel, cheap road tax and insurance, big enough to fit the whole family in inc the dog. I have been really pleased with everything about the car, comfort how it handles everything, what a joy to own a jag.
So now to the reasons i have joined you guys, as in all love afairs there are times when things get a little rocky and you need outside help to get you back on track. I now have a slight problem, the car no longer runs(did i say slight :P). So hopefully with the advice i get from you folks i will get her up and running again and keep it that way
hope my short intro hasn'nt made your eyes bleed too mutch

Steve

Hi Steve welcome to the forum.

Hop over to the X Type section, and give as much detail about your slight problem as possible.

Helps the guys point you in the right direction.

Welcome to the forum,

I'm sure the X guys can help get you going again, but we don't have many oil burners.

Welcome and best of luck! Hopefully there will be an X Type owner (or other model) who has some diesel experience, or maybe one of the techs can chime in.

Welcome to the forums. Maybe the dog had something to do with killing the kitty.

Nice vehicle BTW, I hope you get her sorted quickly.

Enjoy all the site has to offer!
